Revolt on the floor

by mad as hell
anybody but bush is not good enough
Pledged, but not bound??!!!
We need to do more this summer than just complain about how horrible it all is and accept our fate.

Did you all know that the delegates to the national convention are "pledged, but not bound, to reflect the conscience of the candidate they were chosen to represent"

We need to tell John Kerry he is only the 'presumptive nominee' and he ought to stop presuming.

Reasons for revolt
1. Open up discussion on Iraq, health care, and other issues the democrats care about. Kerry is not representing the will of the democratic party.
2. John Kerry has changed his stance on Israel, now completly supporting the Wall in violation of the recent world court ruling stating "I am deeply dissappointed by today's international court of justice ruling related to Israel's security fence. It is a legitimate response..."
3. Kerry has indicated he wants to increase the war on terror 'take it to the enemy on every continent'
4. This candidate does not appear 'electable' as previously thought. A candidate taking the opposite stance of Bush would be running away with this election.
5. John Kerry has not taken the opportunity to use Fahrenheit 911 to his advantage. Michael Moore has exposed to the world that this war in Iraq was based on faulty intelligence and an incompetent leader. Kerry has not seen the movie and continues to support Bush's lies.
6. It has emerged that what is happening in Iraq is a popular uprising, and that the Iraqis want us to leave. Kerry continues to cover for the bush administration by pretending that all is better in Iraq at the same time planning on sending more troops. Kerry pretends the 'handover' to CIA operative Allawi was a success when everyone else knows it was a sham to help Bush look better before the election. Why would Kerry cover for Bush?
7. Kerry appears to be running for the republican vote, based on the idea that they like Bush's policies but not Bush. Most people who choose not to vote for Bush are doing so because they feel the war in Iraq was based on lies, so why would they turn to Kerry who supports those lies?

Dennis Kucinich will make the changes our country is dying for. WE cannot let this opportunity pass.

Just imagine the crowds shouting from outside WE WANT DENNIS WE WANT DENNIS WE WANT DENNIS until they fucking hear us!!!! Passionless Kerry will shrivel up and slink away. We have a right to be pissed off, and demand more from the party of the people!

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

Precisely.

Kerry is a paid toadie to corporate (NWO) interests.

He does not even have to SOUND as though he has a different platform to offer, few taxpayers listen and those that do can be counted on to vote without the benefit of reason or analysis.

It is an excellent idea to arrange mass demos demanding a genuine candidate representative of the will of the Democratic constituency as well as common law;

...for that reason alone Kucinich should be kept in the loop yet entirely outside all planning, tactical considerations, and media hype concerning the event...

We want Kucinich because Kucinich represents an individual who has analyzed and reasoned concerning the state of our nation, the world, and the need for rapid and sustained measures to suppress the oiligarch immediately. He also has firsthand experience in combatting this enemy to the state, the peoples will, and the rule of law, which can hardly be said of the likes of...Kerry.

We do not want Nader because this individual is merely interested in senilely furthering his own personal agenda, whatever that may be. Perhaps to further the interests of the neo-cons by subverting the progressive movement, who knows?


By all means, close the fake DNC down, and reconvene at a more suitable location with the Democratic candidate of choice, or better yet, with the choice of The Peoples Own Party running the show.

Kerry needs continuous exposure as the paid servant to corporate interests that he is.

Bush needs to be picked up and sent to The Hague as soon as possible. So do those who willingly usurped US and International law in order to be a part of the administration that their masters, the corporate oiligarch, once again installed.
