PDA endorses Dean

[Cheswick2.0]

Though I know that it will break the heart of those self appointed "Real Progressives" on this board, the PDA has endorsed Dean.

"And amazingly, even though the Democratic Party is overwhelmingly opposed to the war in Iraq (especially the way the Bush cabal has handled it), pro-choice (particularly when the next Bush Supreme Court appointee will put the right to choose in jeopardy), ready to defend Social Security (the FDR rock upon which the New Deal Democratic Party was built), and solidly for universal health care (an area where Dean had marked success as Governor of Vermont) only Howard Dean among the current serious DNC candidates is on the "Wellstone side" of all these issues."

WTG, girl. I just logged on to post this here.

See, I had even cut the same quote. Minx.

:hi:

[Cheswick2.0]

9. It is good news

but since it isn't an attack on Dean, it wont get the usual suspects kicking it to the top every few minutes.

17. I didn't know this, zidzi. Thanks for the great news.

You and Cheswick are brightening my day. Of course, I love John Conyers anyway, so this really makes it sweet. :)

11. I just got a letter in the mail from

Dean and on the front of the envelope it says.."The Story You Helped Write"

It includes all the history of what a difference DFA has made ..a map of where the Dean Dozen Canidates are in the USA..Local,Federal and Statewide.

And it has a place on the contribution card to send back that wants to hear "your election success story". Which I don't have..but it's really nice it's there for those who do.

19. Waaah, I want one of those

Maybe in tomorrow's mail? I hope.

14. Three cheers for Dean!

DEAN! DEAN! DEAN!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

15. "Wellstone side"

In other words, the "Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party". Dean was right to invoke the words of Paul Wellstone during his campaign.

18. Kicking 'cause Ches' stole my thunder. N/T
