Educators for Dean - Virginia
Dr. Dean has a strong position on Civil Rights and Homeland Security.
He will protect the civil rights of immigrants detained by the
Department of Homeland Security. And he will work for federal
legislation to restore the right to vote in any federal election for
ex-felons who have paid their debt to society. Almost three years
ago, Dr. Dean walked up to my husband Jerry Botland at an event,
introduced himself, and told him of his plan to run for President.
Jerry asked him what he did for a living and he said, "I am the
Governor of Vermont". Jerry was surprised and honored that the
Governor had walked up to him and even talked to him! Dean proceeded
to describe his plan for universal healthcare. It is an impressive
plan; it is the same one that is posted on his website at
www.deanforamerica.com. At that event, Jerry and Dr. Dean spent
thirty minutes discussing healthcare, Jerry's favorite topic. I got
to meet Dr. Dean that night also. I will never forget the way he
treated us: he made us feel important. Gov. Dean has run his campaign
in the same manner: he makes us feel important. He makes us feel like
this is OUR campaign. And it is!
