Governor Dean's GWU Speech Transcript
This does not sound like a person that cares about election FRAUD .......lets wake him up. I just emailed him

I was really hoping that his speech today was about uniting everyone after this Conyers Conference



Remarks made by Governor Howard Dean on the Future of the Democratic Party. Given at The George Washington University on December 8, 2004.

http://www.blogforamerica.com/

Thank you for that introduction. It's a pleasure to be here.

Let me tell you what my plan for this Party is:

We're going to win in Mississippi
...and Alabama
...and Idaho
...and South Carolina.


Four years ago, the President won 49 percent of the vote. The Republican Party treated it like it was a mandate, and we let them get away with it.

Fifty one percent is not a mandate either. And this time we're not going to let them get away with it.

Our challenge today is not to re-hash what has happened, but to look forward, to make the Democratic Party a 50-state party again, and, most importantly, to win.

To win the White House and a majority in Congress, yes. But also to do the real work that will make these victories possible -- to put Democratic ideas and Democratic candidates in every office -- whether it be Secretary of State, supervisor of elections, county commissioner or school board member.

1. He's still looking at DNC.
I think it's a good strategy, too. He can probably do more good taking over the organization than he can by enraging half of our party and the entire other party talking about vote fraud.

I think the fraud thing has to continue to be a people's movement, and Dean seems to recognize that. I'm sure he's aware of it...he knew all about Diebold.

2. I just wrote to Dean
and blasted him for not focusing on this year's election fraud. 2008 won't matter because it will be too late.

3. One of the only effective, continual methods...
...of preventing that fraud is ensuring fairly elected representatives of the people (rather than special monied interests) at the state and local level, since they are the people working the levers of the process...
