Dear John,
In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, “Politics should be sacred.” He didn’t mean it should be dogmatic or doctrinal, but that it should come from a deeper place in our hearts. It should express our reverence for nature, for each other, and for ourselves. Politics should be the art of collectively creating a more beautiful world.
In order to achieve that, Martin Luther King, Jr. said we need “quantitative changes in our circumstances and qualitative shifts in our souls.” His focus on Gandhi’s principles of political non-violence - the inner and outer approach to global transformation - has infused my understanding.
He wrote that “the desegregation of the American South is the political externalization of the goal of the Civil Rights movement, but the ultimate goal is the establishment of the beloved community.” Quite simply, we need changes on the outside and we need changes on the inside. I have tried my best to speak to both.
Voters are aware that in order to heal this country, we must dig deeper than a superficial focus on external issues. We must address the dynamics of our history, and of our own souls, in order to give birth to a new politics. Traveling around the country, I see people everywhere shaking their heads about our current politics and saying sadly, “This ain’t it.”
We need an alternative to a system stuck in the mire of what is essentially a controlled system - controlled by money, by media, and by political bosses. It is literally destroying our democracy. Yet we cannot do that through force, or even traditional political organizing. We can only do it through love.

I’ll be traveling to New York and Connecticut this week, then later on to Oregon, New Mexico, and perhaps Puerto Rico.I continue to use every opportunity I have to share a message that I know in my heart is the most heartfelt, therefore the most sustainable option for America’s future.
The agenda of our campaign is a loving one, from providing all Americans with health care, to its focus on waging peace, to paving the way for people to be educated, to caring for America’s children, and more. While that won’t be taking us to the White House, it is taking the American political conversation to a much higher place.
The fact that we have garnered roughly 400,000 votes in the primary season already is a sign that people are listening. Please support the effort in whatever way you can; we are continuing to create a new possibility for our country and for the world.
