How's this for a litmus test? If you are a Dem lawmaker and attacking Dean

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

for his stand against the current regime,you have proved yourself to be beholden to corporations and special interests, rather than the people who pay your salary.

I am closely watching our Democratic senators and congressional members. So far, so good, for Colorado. However, Biden, Richardson, et.al., you have shown your true colors.

The repubs have their voter base.(RW, Fundie, Evangelical, Corporations, PNAC and on and on)

The Democratic base is composed, first and foremost, of "we, the people". There are differences between us, but what we have in common is a belief that the people. not the military/industrial theocracy, is where the focus of this great country belongs.

If you can't support a DNC chair who says it like it is...
F**k U.

Sorry, I couldn't think of anything more eloquent with which to end my rant.

1. The USA is basically now..

.. a one party state..

.. with a few good officials who still speak out..

.. though their words, along with the protests are..

.. basically drowned out, ignored, or ineffective.

2. Please don't give up, read my sig line. We have to pressure our

representatives to fight for us, not their biggest corporate donors.

The bfee will eventually collapse. We just need to make sure that they don't take our country with them.

4. I wasn't thrilled by his vote for Gonzales, but he is calling out Dobson

and focus on the family. It's a gutsy move and he isn't mincing words.

Do you want some links? MKJ

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

5. OK, even though you didn't specifically ask..links to Salazar's

statements about focus on the family and his support of alternative energy bills. Here they are. MKJ
