We need more examples of Democrats fighting...
Whether its Dean calling it like it is, John Conyers bringing the DSM to the forefront (or at least trying), or the Minority representatives in the (House) Judiciary Committee fighting like hell, we need more "newsworthy" examples of Democrats standing up...

1. We need to support those who do fight!
It doesn't take but a few minutes to write an email of thanks.

It doesn't take as much effort these days to spread the news we do know of.

It doesn't cost too much to give modest donations to as many as one can afford (even five bucks, if given by enough people, eventually adds up).

2. I'd much rather see a cohesive political strategy
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 08:35 AM by Poppyseedman
articulated in a calm thoughtful manner that will get people to think and make reasoned decisions to put the democratic party back in power.

Fighting for the sake of fighting without giving people a reason to vote rather than simple anger is not going to win anything.

Attacking the republicans will only invigorate their base. To win elections in this country we are going to have to recruit middle of the road republicans and win them over, not attack them.

Dean should stick to guiding the party, raising money and let others be the attack dogs.

In politics, ideas are more important than individuals.
