(09-23) 10:26 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) --

Howard Dean says his campaign is not about who will be the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee but who will protect democracy and the nation's ideals from the Bush administration.

"Democracy itself is at stake in this election," Dean said in Boston. "The extreme right wing has shown nothing but contempt for democracy."

Pointing to a flag on the platform, Dean said, "This flag does not belong to Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell, John Ashcroft, Tom DeLay and Dick Cheney. This flag belongs to us and we want our country."

The former Vermont governor invoked historic events from the Boston Tea Party to the creation of the Bill of Rights in his speech at a rally in Copley Square in downtown Boston.
