what an excellent suggestion!!
"Do they want to spend more time with Dean?  Then I suggest they join him in canvassing the whole country and getting more people involved in the democratic process. "

Who are these "big donors" anyway? I betcha that most of them are just pissed off becuase they're not getting what they want from Dean in return for their "support". Fuck 'em, I say.

I do agree that Dean is going to have to do more than gather Internet support, but I think that what he's trying to do...I would really like to see him reach out to the HUGE blocks of people who just don't vote, and with more than a rousing chorus of "Help is on the Way" -- if dems want to gain anything in the upcoming elections, they will need to make the non-voters, and disillusioned voters think that someone gives two shits about what they do all day....

I want something else, to get me through this, semi-charmed kinda life..

Thank you so much for those links. Let's use language appropriately and call these "Big Donors" what they are: Corporate Influence Buyers. The spin on this story looks bad but this is exactly what I hoped Dean would do -- look to real people for support instead of pandering to the moneyed elite. The Dem Party can't honestly represent the best interests of working Americans if they owe favors to Time-Warner and Goldman Sachs.

I think many of these corporation gave equal or even greater donations to the Repubs so they could own both sides. I kinda doubt they are going to stop supporting the DNC just because Dean won't have a power lunch with their rep. If they did so, the nakedness of their bribery would be too apparent.

There were 79 million people who didn't vote.
They were the plurality.They need to be targeted in the next election.
