The Country We Carry In Our Hearts Is Waiting

John Kerry In Madison Wisconsin
Originally uploaded by johneaton.

80,000 supporters rallied for John Kerry in Madison Wisconsin. Kerry was introduced by Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen quoted the late Sen. Paul Wellstone -- "The future is for the passionate" -- and he said the time to act is now. "That's why I'm here today to stand alongside Senator Kerry and to tell you that the country we carry in our hearts is waiting." When he was done, Springsteen reached for his guitar and leaned into "No Surrender," the song that opens every Kerry campaign rally.
