It is great to be working with the Bill Richardson team in Iowa. It is clear that Iowans understand the issues facing our nation and take very seriously their role in beginning the Presidential nomination process.
I have been talking to people in Madison and Union Counties. Most all of the people with whom I have had discussions, now in the hundreds, have considerable respect for Bill Richardson--for his extensive international expertise, his governmental experience, and his willingness to outline specifically how he will address our major problems.
People are especially attracted to his integrity, evident in his down-to-earth, straight-talking style about what can and cannot be done. Early on, in the campaign he called for immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and publicly described exactly the necessary steps. More than any other candidate he has emphasized the importance of growing the US economy and creating jobs, as well as putting in place strategies for education and healthcare policy reform.
Because I am a brother-in law to Bill's wife Barbara, I see Billy both inside and outside the political arena. I am here because of the importance he places onIowa. Billy is the same guy in person as he is on the "stump"--a guy with a great sense of humor who stands by people, especially those who are having tough times.
Bill has dedicated his entire career to improving the quality of life of people throughout the world. He is a pragmatic visionary; a leader who not only has vision but who has the patience, skill, and relentless dedication necessary to achieve important goals. In plain speak, he is a doer!
I look forward to the coming weeks in Iowa, getting to understand a little better the great sense of community here. There is something very right about people getting together in their neigborhoods to exchange views about who should be our next President.
There is also something very right about Bill Richardson becoming our next President. Let's take the first step on January 3rd!!
Kind Regards,
Bill Walsh
