8. thanks for posting....
....and look at this snip:

I called Buzz Davis to ask if there were any groups in Stoughton, where Sally Baron settled a few years back to be nearer her family, that were "working for the removal of President Bush."

"Well, we sure are," replied Davis, an old-timer in Stoughton, which shares the progressive traditions of Sally Baron's northland.

"We" is the Stoughton Area Democrats, a ragtag group of about a dozen core members that swells to 150 at election time. The Stoughton Area Democrats blanket the town with party literature at election time. When they're not campaigning, they organize town meetings and teach-ins, like the one last year that gave rise to the Stoughton Area Peace Coalition.

As the 2004 presidential race heats up, Davis is campaigning for Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Dennis Kucinich and other members of the group are backing Howard Dean, John Kerry and other contenders. But next fall, Davis says, the first priority of the Stoughton Area Democrats will be removing George W. Bush from the White House.

"We'll beat Bush," said Davis, as he reflected on the fact that "even the obituaries" are going against the president. "It'll start here in Stoughton and sweep the whole country."
