"Gore shows America way to healing"
By Fred DuVal 
Dec. 18, 2000 
.........
Our shared New Year's resolution might be that, 
after this trauma, all Americans should come 
together on common ground. They should resolve 
to tackle, at last, the many challenges that have 
been ignored amid Washington's partisan gridlock:
reforming education, providing drug coverage for 
seniors, reforming our health-care system, 
shoring up Social Security and Medicare, enacting 
campaign finance reform and expanding economic 
opportunity for every American.

That is the pledge George Bush made in his
thoughtful answer to Gore's concession speech. 
We should accept it in good faith, with high 
hopes and open minds. And we should meet his 
pledge with our own.

In this charitable spirit - appropriately, 
coming at the holiday season - every American,
and especially every devoted Democrat, should 
follow Al Gore's lead and offer our support for
our new president-elect. The extraordinary
events of the past five weeks have mitigated 
his legitimacy. Americans can choose to restore 
it - and we should.

And, together - Democrats, Republicans and 
Independents alike - we can conclude this 
difficult chapter of our history by imbuing 
renewed relevance to the familiar words, 
"One nation, under God, indivisible."
