Letter to the Editor

One of our active Dean Nation regulars has had his letter to the Editor pblished in the SF Chronicle. Great work, Gabriel - you're an inspiration to us all. Keep up the pressure, keep up the activism, and keep up the transfer of energy and passion from the Internet to the Real World. Gabriel's letter reads in full:

DEMO INFIGHTING

Editor -- I am outraged that two leaders of the Democratic Leadership Council have moved to quash Howard Dean's candidacy and called him an "elitist liberal" ("Democrats squabble despite Clinton warning," May 15).

Their memo distorts Dean's admirable record as a largely centrist governor in Vermont. The memo is particularly ridiculous in light of the fact that it was produced the very day that President Bill Clinton lauded Dean as a centrist New Democrat!

This move to dictate the choice from above is insulting, especially to those like myself who believe that Dean is the only candidate with a chance to defeat Bush.

Dean's "elitist" campaign has ridden a wave of genuine grassroots support, with nearly 25,000 supporters, including many in the Bay Area, organizing themselves via the Internet for monthly Meetup.com gatherings.
