Let's support leaders not a bureaucratic, scaredy-cats-cat party

[genius]

Barbara Boxer, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Dennis Kucinich and the others who stood up for the American people yesterday are the ones I support. The DNC is a bunch of people put into power through favoritism and graft. We need to look at the larger picture. Too many people are leaving the party and see it with disgust. If we are to unite individuals behind a genuine opposition candidate we will have to unite them behind candidates with proven records of standing up for the people and embodying the ideas that once did and, in the future will, make our country great.

I intend to throw my support now and in the future with the people on the "aye" list from 1/6/05. I suggest that, if we want to make our side strong, we all unite behind these people. If we throw out the opinions of the DNC, the DLC and the sightless party leaders and simply vote for our true leaders and those who share their vision and courage, we can make our side great again. We determine the candidates- not the party. Let's stop donating to all branches of the Democratic Party and start donating to causes and people we believe in.

2. Good suggestion. The DNC may miss our support and change.

If we are supporting the leaders instead of the institution, the institution will find that it doesn't have the supporters or capital to continue supporting a right-wing agenda. They'll have to choose between supporting the minority of people who are pushing the right-wing agenda and the masses who are waiting for the party to do the correct thing and move to the left.

3. I believe I wrote that same message to the DNC after the election

That they should expect no more money from me in the future. That I will only support individuals or groups not expressly aligned with the DNC.

Sadly, I don't think they give a crap about us regular voters. All they need do is increase their corporate contrutions and they can forget about us altogether. This seems to be the way they want to play the game, so they can have at it.

In the end, votes matter, too. I think they forget that.

4. Then we need a revolution of the Democratic voters

We need to ignore anyone who takes corporate contributions.
