My Vote is My Voice

Thank you to Stacey who saved these for me, so that I can post them now.

... how easy it can be for one voice to be heard by many, I thought I'd
send this as a reminder. Never stop working. Never be silent.

because the government I knew

It has been sold to the highest bidder
But the Doc's a fighter- he's not a quitter.
He had the courage to stand up to Bush
While all the others just sat on their tush.
Our constitution is here to stay
Bloodless revolution, the American way.
He fights for a fair and balanced budget
not broken promisers who just want to fudge it.
Healthcare, jobs and telling the truth
are what I'll have in my voting booth
Looking for someone squeaky clean?
Look no further, vote for Dean!

it will be bad for your health and the nation's if my vote and my voice
are taken away by you.

Is the Democratic's party new word for Democracy hypocrisy? Just
wondering, Terry, because you are doing all you can to make sure it is.

You are leading the party membership in each and every state in this
country in becoming hypocrites. Democrats are becoming as rude and
arrogant as Republicans. Is this what you want??

If you saw the way the Kerry people treated the Dean people in
Vancouver, Washington, even you would begin thinking of leaving the
Democratic party....that is EXACTLY what I might end up doing.

My name is Al
I live in Ipswich, MA – “Birthplace of the American Revolution”
My humble home outdates our nation by over a hundred years, as does our
town.
My vote is my voice -
I will not be silenced or muffled –
nor shall the voices of our Ancestors –
Those who fought for Freedom,
Equality,
Democracy,
and the end of a noble class.
That noble class has returned to stifle our will –
To beat us –
To break us

The nobles no memory of the blood spilled to found this nation.
They shirk from duty –
Lusting only for power
As the rich are often wanting;
Seeking to have other fight war
For money and greed.

We need a new American Revolution-
But No,
It will not be televised,
As the press does not hear us,
Will not see us,
shall not acknowledge our voice.

They care only for their skins and power-
Not for the common good of their fellow man
Their communities
Those that built their corporations –
gave them power.

Now they wish to live
Untaxed -
Unburdened-
Unbothered by us –
The rabble –
Whose jobs they ship overseas
As they suck our land dry of money;
Bury us in commercials –
They whisper of needs –
Of things both useless
and desired.

They place us in credit traps -
that subjugate us to their will
to their power –
which enrichen them
at the cost of our future –
just as the Bush does burn our country.

There is a man that can change all of the above –
They say he is electable –
I say they are prophets
Of the self-fulfilling prophecy.

You must always vote your heart.
Do not ride the wave,
As waves always let you down,
Especially when you don’t look to see what you are really riding.

But to speak of “electability” of the person you truly wish to win and
vote for the other person because of this bogus issue? It IS
self-fulfilling –
And silly…
Do you buy a car you don’t like because others say it is more
“drivable”?
Do you choose a job you hate because others say it is more “workable”?
Do you marry because a woman is more likable than the one you love?

If so, you will get the car, job and wife you deserve – just as you
will get the government you deserve by doing likewise.

Vote Your Heart. Vote Your Mind, VOTE DEAN!

My name is Linda.

I live in Iowa.

I knew Gov. Dean was the one 12 months ago.

I signed up for my first Dean Team page 7 and a half months ago.

I joined the Iowa campaign two weeks later.

I wrote my first letter to the editor two weeks after that.

I said, "Howard Dean has given me my voice back."

I caucused for Dean on January 19th.

My county went 31% for Dean.

I will continue to work for Howard Dean until there is no more work to
do.

I have stopped watching television completely.

Now that I have found it, my voice will never be silenced.

My name is Alycia.
It is an Hispanic name that derives from my Grandmother who came here
from Panama seeking opportunity. My name speaks for those who wish to
come to this country and live in freedom, assuming those freedoms will
still be available by the time they get here.

I live in Indianapolis, Indiana.
I've lived here since I was 7 years old. I am a wife and mother of two
children with one on the way. I'm 7 months pregnant and just got back
from campaigning in the cold in Michigan for a man I believe in.

My vote is my voice.
This is the first time I have actually used my voice due to the fact
that, untill Dr. Howard Dean, no candidate cared to hear it.

I will not be silenced.
Not by the media telling me how to vote, nor by the pundits. Not by the
big money corporations or the lobyists. Not by George Bush, not by the
Right-wing republicans, nor the growing numbers of Right-wing Democrats.
I too will not be silenced.

America, unite. We will be heard.
