This is my pledge. Will you join me?
I am voting for Kucinich in the Pennsylvania primary. I am doing this as a protest vote, to show my disappointment in the fact that the Democratic party will not have a more liberal candidate. My vote will be as irrelevant as the PA primary itself by that point.

Here is my pledge, and it has 2 parts: 1) Once that vote has been cast, I will work my ass off to get the Democratic nominee elected and get that evil, evil group of people out of the White House, and then 2) Once we have taken back the White House, I will work my ass off to move the Democratic party, and my country, further to the left.

If you're with me, please sign below.

1. I never intended to do otherwise
the question in the primary is not who will be our candidate for president. The question is what direction do we want to push the party.

I will be voting for kucinich in the primary and the canidate in november.

2. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL YES!!
I get paid to write, and I couldn't possibly have said it better myself.

I pledge my honor, my time, my energy, my anger, my passion, my joy, and my last dollar to the efforts you have described above.

SIGN ME UP! YEAH!!

7. I pledge...
...that under no circumstance whatsoever will I punch my ballot for Bush. That is as much as can be expected. If someone wants my vote, they can earn it.

8. except for the vote for DK part
count me in. I'm in Colorado, so I don't get a voice in the primaries anyway, but Kerry is just fine as a liberal voice for me. Next to DK, who I consider to be TOO far left, Kerry has always been the most progressive candidate anyway.

But this is the most important election in my lifetime. I will do whatever it takes to oust the Shrub.

10. I would take exception with one thing you said
I am voting for Kucinich in the Pennsylvania primary. I am doing this as a protest vote, to show my disappointment in the fact that the Democratic party will not have a more liberal candidate.

I fail to see how this can be considered a "protest vote". You will be voting for the person with the most progressive vision for America and its role in the world. That's not a "protest" -- that's an incredibly positive statement! Don't sell yourself short on it!

Everything else, I completely agree with -- it has been my approach from day one as well.

12. I am in PA too!!!! At the moment, I'm still planning to vote for Dean.
But I would consider DK if things improve for him by late April.

14. Absolutely, positively.
I love Kucinich and will proudly vote for him in the primary.
Then I will donate my time, money, blood, sweat & tears to the nominee.

20. Pledged that one long ago
This is THE most important thing we can do right now to take our party and our country back. It's nice to see so many other people starting to jump on board. :-)

22. I'll sign -- it's pretty much what I've intended to do all along, anyway.
I'll be voting for Dennis at our Minnesota caucus on March 2 -- and I've been pushing hard to make sure we have some Kucinich delegates at our state convention.

I honestly don't know, however, how much I'll actively work for the eventual candidate (assuming it's not DK), but I WILL work my ass off to get the message out about just how evil the bush* maladministration is, and I'm ALWAYS working my ass off to bring progressive values to the fore.
