8. I think Richard Clarke and Howard Dean.

Richard Clarke because he had the knhonese to tell it like it was, knowing he would be attacked and slammed.

Howard Dean because he was the first Dem to publicly say what most of us were saying for a long time.....the war was the wrong thing to do@ I believe he was the man that gave the rest of the Dems the ba**s to finally =open their mouth and buck the Shrub admin.

9. Nelson Mandela

Agree with the poster who said Jimmy Carter as well.

And even though she's gone she was a modern day hero...Barbara Jordan.

on edit: How could I leave out Andy Stephenson? Shame on me. God_bush_n_cheney isn't just one of my bestest friends. He's a great example of an average everyday person deciding to try to make a difference. :)
