Dear Gov. Dean --- America, Or Not?
Edited on Tue Dec-06-05 06:52 PM by understandinglife
Firstly, thank you for your truthful statement about Iraq on WOAI, San Antonio (the radio station my father always played in our car). CNN coverage here -- http://tinyurl.com/aqrd9

We hear and read about "framing," and "energizing the base," and a bunch of other stuff, when telling the truth is all that matters.

We both know how many Americans opposed Bush's war of aggression, prior to March 19, 2003.

We all know what happens when folk refuse to speak clearly about Bush's illegal war on Iraq -- 2004 taught us that lesson.

We all know that you can't win at crime - you just keep committing more and more crimes until you are captured and prosecuted, or ....

And, just what would America be if it won at convincing folk that torture is ok, ever?

Let me suggest how you energize the base for a campaign in 2006 that gives each American a crystal clear choice -- America, or Not. For starters:

1. Provide the DNC endorsement to Jonathan Tasini;

2. Announce that the DNC will field a candidate to oppose Lieberman;

3. Call on the Democratic Caucus in the House to support Rep. Murtha's proposed redeployment;

4. Tell Americans that their national security begins by having a government that does not violate international law - ever.

We are illegal occupants of Iraq. We only commit more and more crimes by being there. Everyone knows it - including the Bush neoconster crime family.

Keep speaking the truth about Iraq, Gov Dean.

Deny DNC support to anyone who does not tell the truth.

Twelve months from today you will have led the successful effort to restore and strengthen America by bringing a truthful Democratic Party majority to both houses of the US Congress.

Thank you.


Peace.

7. Maybe the truth is finally starting to stick .... "America, Or Not" is ...
... the choice each citizen must now make; no escaping it.

If Dr. Dean is looking for a slogan - that's it.

Decision time.

And, be sure to support the BUSH CRIMES COMMISSION - www.bushcommission.org


Peace.

6. I think the DNC should spearhead a power struggle and
get RID OF RAHM EMMANUEL AS HEAD OF THE DCCC.


They are like DLC, but even worse.
