Dean: Our nation is in crisis
CommonDreams: Howard Dean: ‘Our country is built on the notion that we are all in this together. We are a community.’ [→ READ ]
I am running for president because it is time to rebuild the American community, reclaim our democratic heritage and restore our country to its rightful place as a moral leader.
Today, our nation is in crisis. At home, this crisis manifests itself in this president’s destruction of the idea of community. This president pushes forward an agenda that divides us and economic polices that beleaguer the middle class and raise their property taxes so income taxes may be cut for those who ran Enron.
Our country’s founders feared that those with economic power would one day try to seize political power. And under this administration, that fear is becoming a reality.
