Address to Veterans 2008 - Military Officers’ Association of America

Here is a transcript of Jim’s address to the Columbia Chapter of the Military Officers’ Association of America (MOAA) from October, 11, 2008

JIM MOELLER:

I want to thank you all for inviting me and for being willing to hear the candidates speak about the issues.
Harry Truman, when he was U.S President, once addressed the Washington Garden Club and kept referring to ‘good manure’ that must be used on flowers.
Some society ladies later complained to the First Lady Margaret Truman, “Bess, can’t you get the President to say fertilizers? ”
The First Lady replied, “It took me 25 years to get him to say ‘manure’.”

Well today I will try to give you as straight a reckoning as I can about the economic crises we have slipped into and what we can do about it, even here on the local level.
I am going to surprise everyone- I think- by not giving you the usual, garden variety Democratic line about corporate greed.
I may even further surprise you by saying, I don’t think greed got us here. And I’ll go even further by offering the idea that the Founding Fathers, were they here now, would agree that greed is not the problem.
The Founding Fathers were students of human events. Continue reading ‘Address to Veterans 2008 - Military Officers’ Association of America’ »

August 29, 2008

Friends:
These last four days have been just short of amazing. From the big shots to the little squirts, from the big cheese to the small fry I have seen and talked to all kinds of politicians, politicos and just plain folk. The people of Denver have been overwhelmingly gracious and friendly. Their city sparkles at night and the climate is superb. The light-rail runs smoothly, efficiently and there was not a single concern of crime while I was using it and I used it day and night. It feels like a young city, vibrant, impatient, full of energy and anxious to get to it.

There are many, many things I could write about. From the incredible production of the National Convention and that historical night in INVESTCO Field to the many moving moments and inspirational words that touched again and again the overwhelming message of the past four days. This is the same message I have heard for decades. First from pulpits and now from podiums. This campaign is about what we can do together. What we can change about our world when we all put our shoulder to the wheel. Progress on poverty, justice, fairness and peace. This campaign is not about what we can buy, but about we can build. Not about our fears but about our hopes.

It’s easy to be cynical. Maybe Obama’s message is just so many nice words - just so many good intentions. Then why do we listen? Why do we keep coming back and back again to that well of hope? Maybe I’m just not practical enough but I need to believe in the possibilities of tomorrow because today is just not good enough. There is still too much poverty, too much injustice and too much blood and tears.

I’m going home now. Back to Vancouver to help others build progress on the issues of our age.

It’s our job. It’s our time. Let’s get to it.

Day three was the best yet!

August 27, 2008

Technically it was the most challenging. I again lost the lottery for credentials. There was also so much going on all over is was difficult to see even a fraction of the events. I eventually got credentials courtesy of my friend Jim Kainber and Governor Christine. In the hall, the stories of of veterans and the examples of personal courage and sacrifice were so moving that many times during the day I was brought to tears. This awful war must end. In fact, we should never commit our troops to another war of choice again.

Also, I’ve met so many people from all over the United States; party leaders, housewives, single moms, doctors, lawyers, from Sen. John Kerry to Gov. Schweitzer of Montana even the speech by VP nominee Sen. Joe Biden was terrific. But for me, THE event of the day was President Bill Clinton. I remember so clearly the hope and the competency that the Clinton administration brought to us. Eight years of peace and prosperity. And most importantly as in the words of Bill Clinton; “we need to lead the world again by the power of our example, rather than the example of our power”.

Tomorrow is the big day - Obama’s acceptance speech. History begins tomorrow.

Best,
