I gave to Kerry... [View All]

[Nazgul35]

It's all over but the shouting...

$25 tonight....and thanks to the ePatriot fund, he will get my $20 a month I've been sending in since August....

First: I was and am a Howard Dean supporter...but I am also a Democrat...my concerns about Kerry are (not that he won't win....electability is nonsense, not that he's boring,etc.), but that he is unresponsive to the rank and file movement that emerged in the Clark-Dean-Kucinich camps...I feel that he is an "old school" Democrat and may not fully exploit the potential we have to rebuild the dead grass roots we had in the Party (don't believe me...go to the next Dem meeting in your town and see who is running things....oiy)...

I will not cut of my nose to spite my face...

Second: For all of the issues I have with Kerry....he's a thousand light years ahead of Bush! And again...I am a Democrat!

Third: I have not given up on my fight to rid this party of the special interests who have bought off our elected officials...it is not completely their fault....we stopped giving, which further pushed them towards soft money....I have registered myself as a precinct captain in the upcoming Michigan primary in August....learn from the commies folks...infiltrate and turn!!! that's all I'm sayin!!!

Fourth: I will be treating my service to my party like national guard service (no not the Bush kind!!!), one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer!!! I will not allow the repugs to get up on us like this again!!!!!!!!!! Instead of complaining about how bad the Party is...I'm going to put effort into changing the Party for the better...by rebuilding the grass roots that we allowed to wither...

Fifth: I will fight to help elect progress and liberal candidate who are not afraid to stand up for their principles! The reason we get our brains bashed in is because of money...repugs outspend us 10-1!!!! If we can get that amount down to 3-1 or even, we will kick their asses every time!!! The majority of American's hold the same liberal-progressive values that we all share...we lose because the repugs get to pick the issues with outspending us....NO MORE!!!!

I will not berate anyone for going with their conscience...nor will I ask others to follow me....I am simply posting this in the hopes that others who may share my views will know that they are not alone and that the fight is not over.....Not by a long shot!!!

For those who like to sit in the smoke filled rooms with the doors locked....look out!!!! :evilgrin:
