Possible interest for supporters of secondary candidates....like us.

[madfloridian]

This is a petition drawn up to ask the DNC to make sure our voices are heard. It has collected close to 400 names in a day. Just thought you might be interested. It was begun by a blogger whose vote probably won't count in his primary in March. Permission to share.

1. 401 signatures including mine eom

[revcarol]

4. Done.

So many seem to be Dean supporters. I should have put that I am a Kucinich supporter equally outraged by the party's gall.

[madfloridian]

6. It was started by a Dean supporter, but others are joining now.

As the realization of the pressure to get out is sinking in, it is being shared around more. As Dean would say, We are all in this together.

I am furious at TM and BR. Richardson tried to influence votes to go to the pro-NAFTA candidate through the party apparatus here in NM.

(Told to me by the county chair, who thought this was below the belt.)

Some of the remarks are quite powerful.

"I am so thoroughly disgusted with the DNC and the DLC's attacks on Gov. Dean and the coronation of John Kerry by your talking heads, even though the vast majority of those voting for him don't care for his record or his policies. YOU have dragged this election into the gutter. YOU have BETRAYED the Democratic Base. YOU are the reason that more and more TRUE DEMOCRATS are LEAVING THE PARTY. YOU have manipulated the news to your benefit, excluding MILLIONS. MY VOICE IS MY OWN, and YOU WILL NOT USURP IT. I am not a rubber stamp for your talking heads. I have voted Democratic for most of my life, and given contributions in the past. Your failure to stand up for the rights of the PEOPLE to choose THEIR candidate stinks as badly as Florida 2000. I will NOT support the DNC/DLC financially or with my volunteer efforts. I will choose MY candidates and donate to them DIRECTLY with a check endorsed with a memo stating that the donation is made from a supporter of Gov. Howard Dean. YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME."

[madfloridian]

22. Mad, bad, and not dead.

And tired of being declared dead.

[GodHelpUsAll2]

23. Done

And forwarded to everyone I know! Just heard on MSNBC that Kerry's poll numbers have fallen with Democratic voters from 51% to 42% in 3 days. Also in the Kerry vs Bush poll it's now suposedly tied. It would be foolish for anyone to drop out before super Tueaday!

[Upfront]
