Open Left

That's exactly the fight...for the Democratic Party itself

and example of this ocurred just this week with the DNC dinner and the debacle of the DOMA brief.

Activists are being used to win elections for candidates and in return activists( like me!) expect a good faith effort to achieve that which the Democratic Party has stood for as evidenced by the Party platform and speeches every 4 years( for seemingly decades) during Convention time.....no more excuses, no more moving the goalpost.....to Mr and Ms. Democratic candidate now elected official thanks to activists like me: Were you just taking to fill dead air or to get thousands to man phone banks? Did you ever have any intention of living up to a tenet of the the Democratic Party in the realm of health care? You used the apparatus of the Democratic Party to get elected.... you need to know NOW that apparatus can be used for someone that appreciates it and actually believes in not saying one thing and doing another.
