Time For Obama-Edwards Alliance For Change

Brent Budowsky

With Al Gore out of the race, I propose that in the Iowa caucus supporters of Barack Obama, John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich fire the shot that will be heard around the world and vote for Iowa delegates committed to change the world.

In each local caucus, the caucus-goers can unite behind the leader in that locality with a shared delegate slate that would include supporters of Edwards, Obama and Kucinich…

Americans want the restoration not of one family or another, but a restoration of renewal, reform and true democracy where the people are heard and respected by both parties, rather than neither party…

Do we really want a 2008 election between a Democrat and Republican who are both status-quo players, who both represent their parties’ insider establishment, who both embody the interest-group insiderism of Washington, and who both were leading champions of the Iraq war for almost all of the period of that war, and who both supported the neocon-inspired Kyle-Lieberman resolution on Iraq?...

Let the winds of change prevail, let the page of history be turned, and let the great battle for the future of America begin in earnest.

When the Iowa caucus convenes, I propose that the supporters of Obama, Edwards and Kucinich unite together in each individual caucus, and fire the cannon for change that will lift and inspire Democrats and independents who believe it is time to turn the page, in a nation that needs and wants real change.

Budowsky serves on the Advisory Council of the Intelligence Summit and is a contributing editor to Fighting Dems News Service. He handled intelligence issues for Sen.
