"I know it's chilly. But I'm fired up!"

I've written about this before, but just imagine the pastor or priest on the Southeast Side 20 years ago who received a letter from a Columbia University senior with a funny name asking for a job as a community organizer.

"Our cherished rights of liberty and equality depend on the active participation of an awakened electorate."
Right on.
"It was here in Springfield that I saw all that is America converge."
