Believe that protecting Democracy, (drastically improving the election process) is even more important than getting Bush out of the White House. I hope that they will happen simultaneously. I also hope that there is a massive discrediting of the Republicans and the Media, so massive that it's difficult to believe it could be accepted. One worry of mine is that somehow we get Kerry in the White House but that everything else remains the same.

I make this pledge, not lightly, I have been following politics since I was very young, always liberal and always encouraging everyone to vote, progressive if possible. If the Democratic leadership doesn't fight (and I mean hard!) for serious election reform I will wash my hands of politics forever. I'm tired of feeling miserable and watching every single thing or person I vote for lose year after year. I'll still work for positive causes locally but if the leading Dem's don't wake up to the tremendous danger we face they needn't ever bother me for my vote again, nor will I ever encourage anyone else.
