Hi all.  Great meeting last night.  I have 3 websites for you.  One is
for the State of the State of New York, with Gov. Eliot Spitzer.  I
know, current issues aside, it's a great example of using a frame and
values = One New York.  That page is:  http://www.ny.gov/keydocs/NYS-SoS-2007.pdf
Thanks to Alex for that reference.

Also, from the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, you can read
FDR's nomination address (as well as many others) - another great
example of frame and values, and a lot of it is applicable now.  That
page is:

Lastly, because FDR refers to the platform in his speech, you can find
that platform on the American Presidency Project site, under party
platforms:  http://www.feri.org/archives/speeches/jul0232.cfm
Just so you know, that platform is 1488 words on roughly 3 pages.  It
does not use much values language, but I think it's good food for
thought.  It addresses some of your concerns Dan, about being strong,
both for and against as a document.  See what you think.  And maybe
see how you can change it into the language we are looking for.
Despite the fact there are no planks, I feel more confident we can do
this in 2 pages and have it meet our goals.

Thanks again for all your efforts and energy.

Sharon
