Dean should get the man that inspired Trippi to take back America

[andym]

With Trippi gone, I think it would be helpful to get as a consultant, strategist the man who inspired Trippi's vision of democracy: Jerry Brown. Jerry left the Democratic party a few years ago because he felt it was corrupted by corporate interests.

But looking at that the intellectual confluence, it's clear that Brown could help with the campaign.

Look at this speech Brown used to launch his candidacy in 1992:

Please read the whole speech, it is great stuff!

Some excerpts (not copyrighted material, I think):

The hour has rung for us, "We the People" to rise up and take back our democracy and our country! This election is not simply about changing elected officials. It's about changing the country.....

...And restoring what our forbears brought forth here 200 years ago.
The calamity which our forefathers feared most has, in our time, come to pass--an unholy alliance of private greed and corrupt politics.
The triumph of the forces of special privilege with its devastating consequences to the entire nation, was engineered with the complicity of Washington's entrenched politicians, Democrat and Republican alike.
.....And money has been the lubricant greasing the deal. Incredible sums--literally hundreds of millions of dollars--from political action committees (PACs), lobbyists, and wealthy patrons have flooded into the campaign war chests of Washington's entrenched political elite--Democrats and Republicans alike.

We will never revitalize our market economy--until the strangle-hold of unrestrained greed is broken and until every American is protected by an Economic Bill of Rights.....We know we must reform our system of National Health Care to cover every single person....But as long as the medical industry and the insurance companies are allowed to pour tens of millions of dollars in to the political process, nothing is ever going to change.

Against their money, we have something stronger--the strength of countless hands; against their propaganda machines, we have something more powerful, the voice of the People...against their professional organizations we have something better--the votes. And ultimately against their authority, we can call forth forces much greater-an Idea--which matched to dedication creates an unconquerable moral energy.
