Reply #35: My whole family voted for Dean today! Felt hopeful by doing so!

I felt like a true Patriot, an American. Someone who stands up for their beliefs and votes for what they believe in. Who doesn't give up when the way gets rough!

It was not a wasted vote! How condescending to tell me that my choice, my beliefs and my vote is wasted! "We will tell you what to think" "Just another Brick in the Wall"!

It is about the future.

I voted for Dean because he believes the same way I do about most issues. He also sees that it is not about the battles, but the war! We have lost the battle for the nomination, but we have not lost the war for the heart and soul of this country! To bring it back to the Democratic issues and positions. Because of Dean and Kucinich, these issues are part of the process. We must have all the delegates we can get, so that we have the ability to form the Party Platform, and not have our ideals thrown out.

How many of those voting for others in these Primaries, do not want, at least a few of issues, which these two men have been bringing to the table? You may not like the man, but are some of their positions important to you? Do you want those to just disappear? All of these important issues will, if there is not "many voices", at the convention to keep it honest!

Loved your post!
