		<description>Frances,

I really appreciated your talk in Madison last night... e.g. your passion, knowledge, creativity, and positive vision (vs. the usual blaming, Bush bashing, etc). I long for something very similar to what you propose.

Yet... I personally felt something missing (which could be MY issue). I didn't feel my soul moved or tears flowing. I wonder if some spiritual or mystical element is needed. Even the founding of this nation had much more spiritual and mystical basis than most know:

Some rather "out there" ideas for an inspiring vision are in http://weneedadream.org ... that might weave into your very inspiring ideas.

I REALLY honor who you are and what you are doing. You might be THE spark this nation needs.
