Howard Dean is already running a successful DNC of his own, DFA -- with his leadership and inspiration, the Democrats would be able to harness some of the energy poured into the presidential race. Donna Brazile ain't gonna cut it.
The Democratic party needs a leader in touch with the mood of the country. In touch with the members of the Democratic party. The current DNC is completely out of touch with the democratic community and has been wrong in every political move and/or decision it has made in the last several elections. DEAN GETS IT!
To Whom It May Concern:
Dr. Dean was right and it is time for the DNC to support him. All we Democrats have been hearing since the election is that we didn't speak to the heartland. The DNC practically threw Dr. Dean under the bus when he suggested this many months ago. It is time for the DNC to stop apologizing to the Bible belt and start sincerely explaining our ideas to them. No more, "abortion is wrong but vote for me anyways." Explain to them what Roe. V. Wade is all about: protecting women's health and safety. Same with gay civil unions; no more "marriage is between a man and a woman, but vote for me anyways." Explain that civil unions will not affect their churches or the sanctity of their marriage. Dr. Dean knows how to clearly articulate our progressive / liberal convictions in a persuasive, and un-condescending manor. Make Dr. Howard Dean Chairman of the DNC and you'll win back my confidence and support.
Sincerely,
Pauline Luppert
Howard Dean is exactly what the DNC needs. I believe we lost the election because we didn't stand up for what we believe. Howard Dean would never allow that to happen.
I will never vote or help the Democratic Party again if the DLC blocks Howard Dean from taking over the DNC. If the Democrats behind this had any brains at all, they would embrace Governor Dean as Party chair.
Obviously, they do not.
Dean is an inspiring leader who understands the need to reach out Americans in ALL 50 STATES. He understands that Democrats can't afford to write off the "red states" while the Republicans continue to expand their territory.
Thank you Howard Dean for reviving my interest in what it means to be a true Patriot. I stand proudly behind you in any future political endeavour you may pursue. You can count on my support - both financial and time.
Many of us put it on the line for Kerry even after many in the Party eviscerated him. Howard did too. Now it is the DNC's turn to offer him the leadership reigns!
As a former DNC employee, I can tell you that the DNC needs your passion, your vision, your ability to surround yourself with innovative thinkers who feel that we can and should do better than the status quo. Your leaderhsip will drive us to the political success we need for our political party and for our country.
Run, Howard, Run!!!
Howard B. Dean is the only Democrat in this country that can bring the Democratic Party back to the fundamental Progressive position it once held in this nation. It is time to say goodbye to the loosing right-abidding ways of the DLC. How many elections do we have to loose, before Democrats learn their lesson?
I think Dean has run an inspiring campaign that challenges Democrats to go beyond registering to vote and giving financially to democratic campaigns. He has enlisted and trained a democratic army to challenge our fellow americans and elected officials. His grass roots mission and leadership has given new meaning to the term "democrat".
Please allow him to further that mission and prepare us for the future of the Democratic party!
