Guest,
We need to change the Democratic Party, not destroy it. There are some Dems who did not agree to go to war in Iraq. Representative John Lewis of Georgia was one. I know there are more. I don't want to beat a dead horse regarding Kerry's nomination. That's history. It's time to move on.

Splitting up into splinter groups will weaken any anti-war movement. The Movement will require Dems, Independents and enlightened Republicans and Libertarians. Many Dems may not lead but they must not be excluded. The door must remain open.

I was active in the Vietnam anti-war movement and the Civil Rights Movement.. I demonstrated a number of times. I marched with people from all walks of life and all political persuasions. (John Kerry lead the vets against the Vietnam war. It's important to remember what someone does, rather than what someone says. You evaluate them by their actions). It will do no good to go to jail with support. In union there is strength.
