Could we please please have a transcript of the Dean's speech at the DNC meeting? It was excellent, and he said some very powerful stuff.

I am in the process of doing so!

What happened to the resolution from that California Chair declaring that Joe Lieberman should leave the race as an independent?

here it is - from the Chair of the California Democratic Party! What happened to this resolution? What was discussed in the Resolution Cmte? Why was this rejected and not put to a floor vote?

Sen. Lieberman Must Respect Decision of Voters
Senator Lieberman asked us to respect his conscience on voting for the war in Iraq, now he must respect the conscience of Democratic voters in his home state of Connecticut in voting for Ned Lamont as their nominee to the United States Senate.

I will introduce at our Democratic National Committee meeting in Chicago on August 19th, along with Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an urgent resolution on behalf of the California DNC membership to urge Senator Lieberman to withdraw from the race and support Ned Lamont.

We cannot be bullied by the GOP’s attempts to infringe upon our nominating process and elections, nor by their attempts to ridicule the more than 60 percent of Americans who do not support Bush's war in Iraq.

We are a Party committed to a strong defense of our nation and abroad. We are a Party committed by words and deeds to a secure homeland. We will, however, never give up our inalienable right to question the foreign policies of our nation, notwithstanding the Party in office.

Our precious rights, and more importantly the lives of our young men and women serving in the Armed Forces, are at stake.

This was not discussed in the Resolutions Committee, I believe it missed the deadline to be discussed during that meeting, and it was not introduced during the Executive Committee, which is where it would have been considered after missing the Committee deadline.

Thanks, Tracy.

LLOYD Benson! Not "Llody" Benson!!!!!!!!!!

"All 13 resolutions were passed by the Democratic National Committee at its meeting on August 19, 2006." CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THESE RESOLUTIONS ARE? THEY ARE A JOKE! WHO THINKS OF THESE THINGS? MAYBE THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRULY IN TROUBLE IF THEY COME UP WITH SUCH PIFFLE. ARE THERE A BUNCH OF REPUBLICANS IN DISGUISE IN THIS COMMITTEE? YOU CAN THANK AND HONOR THESE PEOPLE IN ONE HEARTFELT SENTENCE B E F O R E YOU GET DOWN TO THE SERIOUS BUSINESS OF WINNING BACK OUR COUNTRY. "BE IT RESOLVED" THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO FRUSTRATED BY AN AGENDA IN MY LIFE. AND I EXPECT I AM NOT ALONE. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!!!
