Recently I received the following email from Democracy for America. Apparently the Republicans are lowering themselves to Democratic smear campaigns (nah, really?) Doesn't surprise me, it is traditionally what many politicians do. I've always thought why not just speak the truth and move forward. "Truth will out!" as they say across the pond. BTW, I was never a Democrat or a Republican. I was actually a member of another party. In college I joined the Green Party. I soon realized, that meant that I had little to no voice in the primaries. But I stuck with it. Recently it became clear that joining the Republicans or the Democrats was the only way that one could actively participate in elections. And although they've now got super delegates (What the hell is that about) I still want to believe my vote counts. So I'm about as nonpartisan as it gets over the long haul:
So now I thought I would pass this email along so anyone reading my blog can help out. Perhaps just by sending this email along I'm choosing a side. It's about time:

At one time, "Defense of Democracies" actually had a bipartisan advisory board which included Democrats Donna Brazille, Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Elliot Engel. Not surprisingly, all three stepped down from their positions as advisors once the misleading attack ads started running.
Here is what Donna Brazille said about Defense of Democracies:
"I strongly condemn their misleading and reckless ad campaign. The organization is using fear mongering for political purposes..." She added that due to the influence of its right-wing funding, Defense of Democracies has "morphed into a radical right wing organization that is doing the dirty work for the Bush administration and Congressional Republicans."
Her statement was clear: "I no longer wish to be affiliated with such a group and have asked them to remove my name from the Board."
We can stop Joe Lieberman and his Republican friends from swiftboating Democrats who are standing up to President Bush. When 1,000 DFA members band together and contribute $100, we'll have the resources to fight back and win. Contribute whatever you can afford right now.

They have a two million dollar war chest. We have you.
Together, we're standing up to Republican fear mongering and taking our country back.
Thank you for everything you do to move America forward.
