Where have all the fighters gone?
Where are the modern day Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey etc

What has happen to our fighting spirit?


'We are fast becoming what we despises'

How did we get to this point of defecation?

When I look around lately all I see is people transcending into the very thing they have fought
against most of their lives. Succumbing to corporate pressure, allowing corporate to dictate our
thinking, controlling our movement, completely destroying our freedom of speech.

So I asked when would all this end?

4. Are you kidding? When have the Democrats ever been considered "fighters?"
They've got some huge bills passed, but it wasn't by fighting the Republicans, it was by fighting each other. That's what they do. They fight each other instead of the oppposition.

7. Draft Dean for DNC Chair 2011
Do you want to see Democratic gains in 2012?

Please 'like' the page "Draft Howard Dean for DNC Chair" at:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Draft-Howard-Dean-for-DNC-Chair-2011/168744673165279
or visit:
http://dean4dnc.org

This is a grassroots effort to recruit Howard Dean to institute the 50 state strategy again!

Let's let the voting DNC members know that we expect better results from our party infrastructure than those we saw in 2010.

Howard Dean gave the Democratic Party the capacity to win in 2008. He can do it again.
