    I am working on internet technology to help people organize for positive change. Paul Wellstone is one of my guiding lights.

    In 1982 I was a radio reporter in Grand Forks, ND and one day Paul Wellstone came to my station during his first ever political campaign.

    Love, his elder daughter, Marcia

    I met Paul when we were working on the DFL Central Committee in about 1970. He was so dedicated to the idea that differences within the DFL Party were small potatoes compared to the body politic as a whole.

    He found common ground with almost everyone he met. He attracted decent, honest, and caring people to his causes, his campaigns, and his offices. Shelia and his ...
