Poll question: How many Clark supporters once supported Dean?
Edited on Sun Dec-07-03 11:43 PM by dobak
I attended a Dean meetup and donated $$

How many others have also?

(I started with Edwards last August, then switched to Kucinich shortly after his great "Prayer for America" speech. I switched to Dean during the summer. Switched to Clark a few weeks after he joined the race.)

12. Dean to Clark
I started with Dean because I live in VT and voted for him repeatedly.
As soon as I heard Clark on CNN...I reasearched him throughly and totally fell in love. He stood for everything I believed in and faith that he was the only one to beat Bush. Was an early member of the draft movement (I even made my own Draft Wesley Clark bumper sticker and know one even knew who he was. I will be with him till he leaves the Whitehouse in 2013.

11. Edwards/Braun/Dean/Clark
I recently decided on Clark.
My husband has decided on voting Dean and he will vote for the first time since Perot!!! He wants Bush out!
We will both support whoever wins the nomination 100% however!

Also:
My mother wants Clark.
My father is a repug.
My grandfather is leaning towards Clark.
My sister-in-law is leaning to Clark.
I'm swaying my cousin to Clark.

That's all in my family so far that I know what they are going to vote. Kind of interesting!

14. Kucinich gave the great "Prayer for America" speech on 2/17/2002.

I emphasize the date because in that speech, given February 17, 2002, Dennis Kucinich opposes war on Iraq long before the Bush* administration introduced its new "product," (war on Iraq) in the fall of 2002. Rep. Kucinich may have been the first to speak out against the war. He also spoke against war on Iran and war on North Korea -- as well as the conduct of the war in Afghanistan, including the bombing of civilians and the taking of detainees for incarceration at Guantanamo for an indefinite period of time.

"A Prayer for America" was my introduction to Dennis John Kucinich and I checked him out after that and hoped he would run for president. Naturally, I have supported him ever since he entered the race, and will continue to do so. He knows what's going on and he's not afraid to say it in public, including on the floor of the House.

Here is a portion of "A Prayer for America" for those who haven't read it, or who read it long ago. No matter who you're supporting for the nomination, Dennis Kucinich sums up everything that needs to be done.


"Because we did not authorize the invasion of Iraq.
We did not authorize the invasion of Iran.
We did not authorize the invasion of North Korea.
We did not authorize the bombing of civilians in Afghanistan.
We did not authorize permanent detainees in Guantanamo Bay.
We did not authorize the withdrawal from the Geneva Convention.
We did not authorize military tribunals suspending due process and habeas corpus.
We did not authorize assassination squads.
We did not authorize the resurrection of COINTELPRO.
We did not authorize the repeal of the Bill of Rights.
We did not authorize the revocation of the Constitution.
We did not authorize national identity cards.
We did not authorize the eye of Big Brother to peer from cameras throughout our cities.
We did not authorize an eye for an eye.
Nor did we ask that the blood of innocent people, who perished on September 11, be avenged with the blood of innocent villagers in Afghanistan.
We did not authorize the administration to wage war anytime, anywhere, anyhow it pleases.
We did not authorize war without end.
We did not authorize a permanent war economy."


Another of my favorite lines is: "The Attorney General recently covered up a statue of Lady Justice showing her bosom as if to underscore there is no danger of justice exposing herself at this time, before this administration."

Words have power and Dennis Kucinich knows how to wield them.

15. I started out with Dean
until about 3 weeks before Clark decided to accept the draft. So I was part of the draft Clark movement for three weeks. But before that, yes Dean.

18. Have been Clark since I first heard of the draft.
Just thought he made the best possible candidate against current WH occupant.

19. Me.
I have donated money to the Dean Campaign, attended Meet Ups and went to the Wisconsin Democratic Party Convention/Rally this past summer. Clark entered the race and that was it. The man spoke to me on the issues, he's as "real" as they come, he says what he means and means what he says and "I" believe him. He's sincere and has a calming effect on me. I believe he will give us everything he has to undo what the shrub has destroyed AND he can take the shrub OUT in November 2004. He's an awesome man and I would be honored and PROUD to call him my President.
