| 81. Dean's elecrtion as DNC chair went a long way toward helping |
|
to shut them down, IMO. It may not have been a total victory, but it was most certainly a start. Think about it: they no longer totally control the DNC. The PEOPLE spoke and said, "No! We want a man of the People. We want our party back."
Our job is to support Dean and the DNC as much as we can, along with organizations like Democracy for America (Dean's old org) which helps support Dean-style and other non-DLC candidates.
We especially have to do this because otherwise, it's back to the corporations for the DNC too. We've GOT to make the DNC self-supporting without corporate influence.
