Letters from Famous People

This page contains some of the letters I have received from famous people.  Beginning in 1983, I was active with John B. Anderson's efforts to establish a new political party in the US.  I served as executive director of his organization.  I received a number of letters from him.

From 1988 to 1995 I was active in the Democratic Party.  In 1989, I cofounded a group called New Democrats.  I was the one who came up with the name.  We were for fiscal moderation and liberal social values.  During the course of these activities, I encountered quite a few of the "names" in the Democratic Party at that time.  Our group was started well before the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) picked up the use of the term.

In 1990 and 1991, I was one of the ten or so people former Senator George McGovern consulted in determining whether to run.  I was for it, but he was on the fence for a long time.  Eventually he made the decision in London.  He took a walk around the block, and during that walk, he decided not to run.  Bill Clinton was nominated and elected, and served for eight years.
