1. Thanks! Looks Interesting...

But what a shame, yet maybe it's time we do not take our eyes off them any longer. Sleeping giants need to awake.

3. Rally tomorrow.....clever description of Dean in endorsement.

Progressives Must Not Be Taken for Granted!
Urge the Democratic National Committee to embrace rather than alienate its progressive allies by:

Electing Howard Dean, a relatively progressive Democrat, responsive to the grassroots, as its new Party Chair
Amending its platform to include the "Voter Bill of Rights"
Vehemently opposing dangerous cabinet and judicial appointments such as Alberto Gonzales
Defending Social Security from efforts to undermine it through privatization

6. Cool. I just nominated Donna Frye for a "spine" award.

"I may never concede," the Democratic write-in candidate for San Diego's mayoral race told a local reporter, "because I believe I got the most votes."
