Update: There is now a
petition in the works, and glynis would like some feedback on
what she has written so far.
Update to the update: glynis put up a
Dean Speaks for Me Petition diary. Everyone who is supportive, please head on over there and recommend it, and sign the petition as soon as she links to it. I'm going to go make some z's now, so this is the last update to *this* diary tonight. :-)
Riddle me this--why is it that Democrats are so quick to announce that Howard Dean, Democratic party chair, "does not speak for the party"? Edwards said it, Biden said it, and probably any number of others if I could bear to slog through all of those articles. I'm having primary flashbacks from '03-04'. I agree with the
person in Springdale, MD who wrote to Senator Biden, "Howard Dean speaks for me. I'd like for you to begin speaking for me also, if at all possible. It would be a welcomed change."
See, that's why I supported Howard Dean so strongly in the primaries. After watching all of the other Democrats rolling over in submissive deference to Bush and his "war president" popularity, I heard this unknown from Vermont speak. I heard him speak against the war--not because he is a "pacifist" but because he could see no justification for it. I heard him speak about how the American people deserved health care just like people in other industrialized nations. I had no idea who this man was, but, YESSSSS! He was speaking for
me instead of testing the direction of the wind and measuring his words. Halle-frickin-lujia!
Does Howard Dean speak for you too? Testify!
