I am offended by DUers who refuse to support John Conyers

Some seem to think it is impolitic to protest unequal treatment or voter suppression (whether malignant or simply carelessly benign) until some "great leader" takes up the banner. It is that hierarchical thinking that has stuck us with unreponsive government and a would-be dictator willing to destroy our system of checks and balances. Until Democrats understand that "we the people" bear the responsiblity of government this party will continue to be abused by the corporatocracy. WE must provide the chips that our Senators take to the table.

"It is the intensity and persistence of the conflict or conflicts that promote the tactical compromises, the horse-trading, the reluctantly tolerated procedural expedients so crucial to the practice of democracy." -Dankwart Rustow

"Agitate, agitate, agitate!" -Frederick Douglass

Otherwise keep quiet and let the real Democrats get on with the job.
