There was a logo on here the said "speak your mind even if your voice shakes." I wish every democrat here would send a message to Feingold, Boxer, Harkin and Conyers saying thank you for standing up for what we believe in. A ground swell of support for those individuals may push other democrats into fighting this administration. For years the RW pundits have been marginalizing our voices to the point that democrats have shifted towards the center to appeal to more people. What we need is to start shifting the party back to the left. Our positions have helped more people than theirs. Our policies empower everyone not just campaign contributors and the wealthy. While I appreciate Howard's plan to put people on the ground in every state, we need these people to loudly and boldly question this administration publicly to get people to question this administration. I find DU to be a great forum because we have been able to actually focus our efforts. We have moved our leaders to filibuster against Alito. We helped to tell Russ to stand for us against the patriot act. The more we do, the more our party leaders will be forced to listen to us.
