June 15, 2003. "I am running to rebuild America. I want
to rebuild this country both physically and spiritually," Carol Moseley
Braun stated. In her speech Moseley Braun repeated recent remarks
that she could "fold my tent if this campaign did not come together by
September." "September will be the point of reference," she
stated. She noted these comments had caused her a bit of trouble
but said, "I was just being honest." Further, she stated, "I can
win the nomination." Moseley Braun, a former Ambassador to New Zealand,
concluded with some observations on the Maori perspective on the past,
the present, and the future, and said that it is important to keep the
past in front of us in guiding our actions. |

Supporters: Diane McMillan
of Southfield, MI (l) lauded Moseley Braun's stances on choice, working
women, welfare reform, and children. "She's willing to speak out;
she's not timid," said McMillan. McMillan, who teaches social work
at Marygrove College, said Moseley Braun stands out as a role model.
Jacqueline Steingold (r), of Detroit, Michigan, helped hand out stickers
and signs before and after the speech. Steingold said the question,
"Can she win?" is "not a good question to ask." "It begs for an answer
that a black woman can't win in 2004," she stated. Steingold, who
works part-time for a state Senator and is a NOW activist, said she would
do coffees in Detroit to help raise money for Moseley Braun. |
