How brilliant, and how obvious at the same time! Please send this article to the Democratic Party. It is my deepest wish that they could get it together. Since there's no counting on that, I see that it is more important that we each take this on individually, and find a way to spread it like peanut butter! You've given us a great start, thank you so much.

Wow!! What a wonderful column!! Thank you for this uplifting message, one that will hopefully inspire each of us to inspire others to stay on the path, or rise out of the muck and back onto the path. We must relocate and revive our pride and honor in the collective history of freedom fighting. We must capitalize on the constructive power of our hopes and dreams. We must incinerate the frustration and disgust to yield a more direct heat, one that can fuel forward and consistent actions of reclamation of rights and continuation of progress towards realized justice that so many have fought for. Let's get to work- together!

This is beautiful and inspiring! And true. The establishment Dems put all their faith in policy, but policy doesn't capture the imagination. Myth drives policy: we absolutely need to tell a stronger story.

Dear Rob, you have been providing guidance to me on a bedrock of whimsy and intelligence lit by supernovas and sunshine for almost 40 years (egads) and of all the thousands of times I've thought, "I've got to write and thank this guy," I'm finally compelled to do it - by the strength of your steadfast, ebullient, integrity, expressed with such compassionate urgency - at a time when I sometimes despair that all I have left is story, fearing it's not enough. You remind me that not only IS it enough, but it's necessary. Thank you for your courageous life-giving work that means so much to so many that you will never know.
