america- you could be right. those are the same thoughts that the DNC has about dean... but i disagree. perhaps it's wishful thinking on my part or maybe it's extremely perceptive of me... but i think dean is a candidate (perhaps the first in history) that is building a campaign base and funding base out of individual citizens. he's getting his support from people like you and me - actual voters - instead of corporate, political and special interest groups. his use of the internet is truly amazing - he's letting individuals (anyone who wants to participate) run this campaign. that not only empowers the normally disempowered average citizen, it gives them buy-in and makes them work harder to see that he succeeds in fund raising and vote getting. go to his blog page: blog.deanforamerica.com and click on "comments" under any posted entry and read some of these for a while... see if you start to catch the feeling that "we the people" can do this and we'll have an open administration that we've helped build and elect through our own efforts and our own ideas... one that will owe US loyalty as treat US as employers and electors instead of vice versa... one that won't be beholding to the usual deep corporate pockets that controlled our so-called "public servants" throughout the 20th century. i'm pretty good at spotting innovation emerging. i see a new america where people like you and i have a voice and a role to play. it won't be easy and there is a lot of work to be done reaching and empowering people who aren't internet savvy - but i'm sold on the information network as a tool that will change the world for the better and i'm in the dean camp all the way. if he loses the nomination then i'm back to the old paradigm with you and i'll vote for ABB (anyone but bush) just out of self defense. i've been reading your posts and silently cheering you on for about a year. you're a powerful part of this grassroots movement. thanks for what you do. i know it's discouraging and depressing at times but your efforts are truly helpful and i appreciate them very much. we can sure use someone like you in the dean camp. (it looks like i've already bought-in to being a part of this campaign.) <g> don't listen to me, study the dean phenomena, the campaign "by the people" and decide for yourself. keep the faith, the tide is turning. i am hiring a new CEO and a new management team for america in 2004. the current ones are killing us while they line their pockets with personal profit, keep us in the dark about their motives and dealings, treat us all like suspects, rob us of personal freedoms and destroy all our credibility as suitable and trustworthy partners in a global economy... what a waste of some of the best entrepreneurial and innovative minds on the planet. -dustman
