Gear for Dean

I'm not sure if this has been plugged here or not yet, but as long as I was doing so on Grassroots for Dean, I thought I'd put it up here to:



This certainly sounds interesting. Remember all the "Bikers for Bob" on their way to the GOP convention in 1996? It's kinda like that without all the fat old guys on Gold Wings with pleather jackets. Think Dick Armey but cooler.
Basically, it is a bike ride from New York City to the Democratic Convention in Boston- a sort of rally on wheels if you will. Concept is to get as many Dean Supporters as possible to ride from New York to Boston the Sunday before the convention officially begins.

Right now we are just trying to get the word out and see if there is a enough of a ground swell to move this project forward.

Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
