Funeral for the American Dream
January 20, 2005, was a dark day for the United States of America and
the world. We at BlueNovember.Org acknowledged our sorrow and
expressed our hope for a better day to come with a Funeral for the
American Dream. We carried a genuine coffin through the streets of
Port Huron and gathered before the civic center, where we eulogized
the values and democratic commitments lost to the policies of the Bush
administration. These included the American quest for peace, the
dreams of a growing middle class, Social Security, religious integrity,
respect for all citizens, a woman’s right to control her own body, the Bill
of Rights, honest elections, an independent press, our credibility in the
world community, scientific truth, public education, freedom of
conscience, consumer rights, and environmental stability. We mourned
the loss of these fundamental American values, but we affirmed our
certainty that they will be born again through the dedication and hard
work of progressive and patriotic American women and men.
