1. For this to happen here, we will need.....
...a LEADER who will stand in the streets and ask his People to stand with him until justice is done.
Most of the Democratic Party Leaders disassociate themselves from ANY sign or suggestion of protest.

How many Democratic Leaders will stand on the steps of the Capitol in DC if this election is stolen?
I would have joined Al Gore.
I would have joined John Kerry.
As it was, we were left milling around in the streets by ourselves without sanction, direction, or even acknowledgment from the Party we were trying to support.

The election protests in 2000 and 2004 were marginalized because they were shunned by the Democratic Party Leadership.

The footsoldiers (us) are willing and able by the millions to stand with our candidate, as we were in 2000 & 2004. It is the LEADERSHIP that is lacking the spine.

If Obama calls, will you answer?
I will.
