I have edited a mix of some of the best speakers and their themed music and audience reaction from the 2004 Democratic Convention, and boiled it down to 17...
There was an interesting discussion earlier regarding Fascism. I think it would be interesting to remember what FDR once said: "The first truth is that the...
Hi everyone, Here's a good article from www.GregPalast.com (the author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy) written by Palast. I think it really hit the nail...
Hello All: I thank you all for sending me to the convention and I will try to make it worth your while by working as hard as I can to get John Kerry elected as...
I'm sure the following post will upset a few people, but I think there are sound reasons to be excited about Kerry beyond, "Anybody But Bush," and I think it's...
That was well written Ethan! If I were Greg Palast, going around calling myself a journalist, I wouldn't dig up the same old crap that has been said over and...
Yes, it is summer in Wisconsin. If you saw the rousing Kerry acceptance speech and the wingnuts reactions, you know the campaigns are picking up steam. Please...
Ethan made some good points in his response. I agree that we can't just wait for the "perfect candidate" to come around, because the only perfect candidate...
I am taking a "glass half full" approach to John Kerry, although I share your concern that his health plan falls far short of what we need. I want to address...
I disagree that there is very little difference between Kerry and Bush. My strong feeling that "We must elect Kerry and then go from there" is rooted deeply in...
It appears that the Bush Administration is moving toward installing another brutal dictatorship in Iraq to replace Saddam Hussein. This can be seen both in the...
I second Melita's points. And I would just a couple more: It is utterly untrue to say that electing Kerry "is going to do very little to change things."...
At the very least, Kerry is talking about healthcare. At the very least, healthcare will be among one of the first proposals out of his administration. At the...
While I agree with some of what Ethan and Robert said, I think the issue here is the way that progressive social change happens. I am not of the electoral...
Russ, I mostly agree with the direction of your post. There is however, one small light of hope that happened in the past few days. I was listening to the...
Robert is correct. The last time we heard the "very little difference" story, it was between Bush and Gore. Does anyone really believe that Gore would have ...
While I do not agree with the notion expressed by some that "we elect Kerry and go from there," (that can be brought back up in a year if the Dems win and we...
hi Democracy for Wisconsin folks -- scott hanson suggested i contact your mailing list. Involver is a weekly email newsletter which highlights cultural events...
Hello Bill (and All,) ... It is a mystery to me why you think this group is or should be solely issue oriented. We started out supporting a Democratic...
Thanks for you reply, Liz. I believe DFW is an organization that works around the four principles of DFA: • Growing grassroots involvement • Backing...
Did you register anyone to vote since the last Meetup? Or become a registrar? Please let me know via email or in person (at Meetup or on the Square during...
A friend of mine is heading up a Military Families for Peace group in Madison. There is an event tomorrow night at 6:30 pm.at the Orchard Ridge Church at...
John and Teresa Kerry, along with Senators Kohl and Feingold and an ex-Republican and Veteran, Mr. Nussbaum from Green Bay, who was awarded a Silver Star and...
What you say is chilling in its implications. The lack of protection for Kerry and disparate treatment of protestors should be publicized. Have you sent this...
After last night's Meetup (great speakers & fantastic turnout!!), I have had a number of people request the document comparing the words of Bush with the words...
A "minor" correction -- the subject line of my e-mail should've read "Words of Bush vs. Words of Jesus." I don't want anyone thinking I'm comparing Kerry to...
Meetup notes from the August 4th Meetup are now posted. http://www.geocities.com/dfamadisonmeetup/index.htm John Mosman A Dean Democrat to elect Kerry Edwards ...
Pretty funny! Imagine if Howard Dean had ever said such a thing . . . he would have been sliced to ribbons. But, of course, blatant mess-ups and mangled...
I have been e-mailing TV stations around the state asking them to not run the slanderous ad atttacking Senator Kerry's war record. If anyone else is interested...
Hello All: I just saw a report (a replay of the 6 am news, today, Friday, August 6) on WISC 3 TV news where they "reported" on the ad that shows those who...
