Monday, June 13, 2005 Howard Dean Speaks for Me & Strong Dems If you check out my side links, you will see a "Dean Speaks for Me" link. Please click on it and sign the petition. Whether we love Dean or not, he is our DNC leader, b/c God knows we need a strong voice to hold our own against the lying of the GOP, and this op/ed from David Podvin sums it all up perfectly. Here is a Reuters article: After a meeting of the DNC's 40-member executive committee, members said Dean was doing exactly what they elected him to do: build the party in all states and aggressively challenge Repubs. "I hope Gov Dean will remember that he didn't get elected to be a wimp," said DNC member Gilda Cobb-Hunter, a SC state representative. "We have been waiting a long time for someone to stand up for Democrats." Yep. And this from the Guardian UK: Dean said that positive responses from supporters have reinforced his determination to keep talking tough despite suggestions from some congressional Dems that the party chairman should tone down his rhetoric. "People want us to fight,'' Dean told the national party's executive committee. "We are here to fight.'' Amen brother Dean! And check out this from America Blog, and keep in mind that there are 43 black Dems in Congress. |
