Five Years In
By James Hamilton
Five years ago today I started driving to Iowa. For Our Grandchildren was only hours old and I - the first employee - was on my way to open our first regional office.
The last five years have been a roller coaster ride. The 2004 Presidential Campaign, the Administration's efforts to push the issue in 2005, the 2006 congressional elections, our work with the GAO's David Walker, and - now - the lead up to the 2008 Presidential Campaign. Like every other issue-driven group, as the political process ran its course, we found reason for disappointment, guarded optimism, and ample opportunities to turn lemons into lemonade.
The people at For Our Grandchildren - past and present - have made a difference in the debate. And we'll keep on making a difference until the issue is won.
