Dear Kosacks,
This is my first diary on Daily Kos and it couldn't have come at a more important time.
As the world's only superpower and its greatest hope for the future, America holds incredible promise. The challenges we face offer new opportunities for peace, security and prosperity.
Yesterday Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said"
"We're for staying the course in Iraq and the war on terror."
But as the world faces crises on multiple fronts - from oil prices to Lebanon, Iraq to North Korea - it is time for our country to chart a new course. The threats of nuclear proliferation, terrorism, and international Jihadism grow daily. Our great military, bogged down in Iraq, cannot meet every threat alone.
It is time for a new realism in our foreign policy.
It is time to use our military as a last resort, not a first option.
It is time for a rebirth of American diplomacy, to win back friends and
isolate our enemies.
I am honored that the Democratic party chose me to offer our solutions to the problems facing our country.
Today, I deliverd the Democratic response to President Bush's Weekly Radio Address.

As a former Ambassador to the United Nations, I know that Democratic
solutions work. They succeeded during President Clinton's administration,
and they will work again when we take back the House, the Senate, and
Governors' mansions across the country.
Democrats have a vision for our country that can unite us and move America
forward.
Thank You,
Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico.
