There have been three powerful movements in recent times. The first was that which carried Senator Obama to victory in 2008; the second was Occupy; and the third is Moral Monday.I really want to travel down there to see you, and to participate in a Moral Monday event. (I'd love the opportunity to speak at the event, too. I can dream, can't I?)

Of the three, I view Moral Monday as providing the model that the rest of the nation should replicate. It allows for each of the other two, as needed ....and all three are desperately needed!
