"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America."

The Amy Alexander Foundation for Spinal cord Injury.

The Amy Alexander Foundation for Spinal Cord Injury was started in 1994 by Elaine Golden, a math teacher in upstate New York. Elaine began the foundation when a former student of hers, Amy Alexander, sustained a spinal cord injury from a car accident that left her paralyzed from the neck down.

With annual fundraisers and private donations, the foundation has grown large enough to benefit others with spinal cord injuries as well as Amy. The foundation is striving to grow substantial enough to help individuals with more costly needs such as home modifications, wheelchair equipped vehicles and physical therapy. The more fund raisers we have and the more private donations we receive, the more people we can reach.

All donations made to the Amy Alexander Foundation are tax deductible, and 100 percent of the donations go to an individual with a spinal cord injury.

If you'd like to make a contribution, please send it to: The Amy Alexander Foundation, P.O. Box 566 Pine Bush, N.Y. 12566. Make checks payable to the Amy Alexander Foundation. Many thanks for your interest and support.
