Hi, everyone, Dennis here. Welcome to my back yard, in this season of change. And change this country must. We must move America - from a condition of war, from a condition where the wealth is being accelerated to the top, where we are relying on non-renewable energy - to a place where we can work towards peace, reconnect with the world community, have more equitable distribution of the wealth, save Social Security and Medicare, and make it possible for us to develop alternative energies which can help save the earth.
We need to take a new direction, and I'm here to urge you to vote for John Kerry and John Edwards in this election. It is so important that you contact everyone you know and get them out to vote. This is the most important election in our lives.
Many of you have been with me through the last couple of years on a long journey. A journey that went into the heart of this country. A journey that touched the soul of America. We were able to inspire this country as to the possibilities that America has for the future.
We are now at the critical moment of choice, when we must exercise not just our right to vote, but exercise our vision - of taking America in a new direction, of giving America a new hope. John Kerry's election will give us a chance to make a new beginning. And it's in that spirit that I'm here to urge you to do everything you can in the next few days. Everything that we are, everything that we've hoped for is on the line.
Contact everyone you know - get them out to vote. Make it possible for John Kerry and John Edwards to give America a new chance.
I'm so grateful to all of you for the support that you've shown over the last few years. And I continue to commit to work with you - for peace, and social and economic justice - not only for our country, but for the whole world. But we're at that moment, and we cannot shrink from the challenge which lies before us this coming Tuesday.
You're the one who can make it happen. You're the one who can help begin the transformation of the American political scene. It starts on Tuesday with our vote. Please join me in voting for John Kerry for President and John Edwards for Vice President.
Let's help America make a new beginning. Let's shed the fear which has gripped this country. Let's give America a chance for a new hope.
Thank you, and I look forward to continuing our journey together as we move forward to harness the power of change - which is about to descend on this country and create a new beginning.
