They called us slobs, accused us of being 'thugs' and claimed we were 'outside agitators'. They're still making false claims accusing our recall volunteers of horrible things that are all lies. But they are doing that because they are desperate and they know in their hearts that this *is* a ground-swell movement of, by and for the people. And, as I always want to remind DU... it's Demorats who are leading the way. Our elected Democrats as well as our state and county parties. Whenever someone here wants to give up on the party, I always remind them to look in their own backyards... there are very likely some amazing ones that they can and should support to help build the future national leaders.
