The Ward-Heeler, Best/Worst of Times, Daveberta, Warren Kinsella, The Dan Report, and several other blogs have already posted encouraging Gerard Kennedy to run for Liberal Leadership. Everything I hear says that Gerard is still on the fence so I think it’s time for a little grass roots movement, courtesy of the world wide web.

Whether or not you would support him, it’s hard to deny that a young, charismatic, bilingual, socially progressive Liberal with roots in Western Canada would bring a lot to the race. If nothing else, he could spare us all the prospect of a Bob Rae/Belinda Stronach final ballot.

So I encourage Liberals everywhere to let Gerard know they’d like him to run. Tell him what he could bring to the race. Tell him the Liberal Party needs him. Tell him that only a handful of individuals get a chance to become Prime Minister and make this country a better place.

You can e-mail him at: gkennedy.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org
