Add Bruce stumping

RACING IN THE STREET: In his speech, Springsteen echoed themes he’d posted on his website earlier in the day. "Voting matters," he said. "Elections matter. Think of the events over the last 12 years and try to convince yourself they don't. We get an individual hand in shaping the kind of America our kids get to grow up in. I have three kids. I'm 63, and I've lived through some galvanizing moments in American history: the civil rights struggle, the peace movement, times when you could feel the world shifting under your feet. I remember President Obama's election night was an evening when you could feel the locked doors of the past finally being opened to new possibilities." Addressing the difficulties Obama has faced in enacting his agenda, Springsteen stated, "The world is brutally resistant to change. The forces of opposition have been tireless. But I came here to say that I'm thankful for universal healthcare, the lack of which was for so long an embarrassment to our country. I'm thankful for a more regulated Wall Street. I'm thankful GM is still making cars. What else would I write about? I'd have no job without that!” (10/19a)
