~ THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ~
 Ed's Thank You To His Supporters"It is not the critic who counts; not the person who points out how people stumble, or where the doers of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the people who are actually in the arena, whose faces are marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strive valiantly; who err and come up short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but those who actually strive to do the deed; who know the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spend themselves in a worthy cause, who at the best know in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if they fail, at least they fail while daring greatly. Their place in history shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." —Excerpt from Election Night Speech by Ed, adapted from Theodore Roosevelt. |

| THOUGHTS FROM THE VOTERS |
|
"YOU did phenomenal and should feel proud that you brought out real issues that motivated so many to support you. You ran a class campaign and it has been a pleasure to get to know you" —Southeastern Mass. "I was proud to be in your corner. You've said everything I could have said and more about the issues. I think your right on target about many issues, not the least of them being the concept of making alternative energy development a "local issue". —Wellesley "Thank you for running and publicizing the messages that needed to be heard. They were heard. Kerry had to change his message (or lack thereof) to keep his seat. 31% is HUGE against a 4 time elected senator who ran for POTUS for heaven's sake! HUGE. You've just begun your national career and you've made a big splash." —Norwell "...Good to keep your options open - there may be a lot of shuffling of the deck soon." —Cape Cod "I am so proud to have been part of your organization - you should be very proud of your achievements - over 30 % for a vitural unknown - well, of course, you certainly are not unknown now." —Ipswich "Congratulations on all your hard work and 1/3 of the vote is something to be proud of! Hope you are taking some well-deserved time off and best of luck in your future endeavors!" —Marlborough |
