I sent this to EVERYONE in my addy book. I recommend you do the same AND then, ask everyone to send it on.

A friend of mine printed out 100 copies and snail mailed them to many people she knew.

I e-mailed MSNBC HARDBALL... Chris Matthews AND RECOMMENDED HE HAVE Garrison Keillor on as a guest ...

Here are the final two paragraphs of the excerpt you'll see if you go to the link above:

"This is a great country, and it wasn't made so by angry people. We have a sacred duty to bequeath it to our grandchildren in better shape than however we found it. We have a long way to go and we're not getting any younger.

"Dante said that the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who in time of crisis remain neutral, so I have spoken my piece, and thank you, dear reader. It's a beautiful world, rain or shine, and there is more to life than winning."

You'll feel MUCH BETTER for having read this... AND SO WILL PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO. It's very persuasive.

Garrison Keillor is the host and writer of A Prairie Home Companion, now in its 25th year on the air. This adapted excerpt is from Keillor's new book, Homegrown Democrat ((c) 2004) is reprinted by arrangement with Viking, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc.
