Minus One

Dear Dr. Dean:

We are not coming home to the Democratic Party because you've burned down the house.

I've returned your emails requesting money and have asked you to remove me from your mailing list.

I live in Florida. Remember Florida? In 2000 we were all shouting to count every vote. How ironic (it really is Ms. Morissette) it is that in 2008 you and most Obama supporters don't want our votes to count. You may have taken away our delegates but you cannot take away our votes. They must be included in the popular vote total because they have been certified by my state.

It's time a for a real third party. We could be the moderates or the reasonables. The people in the middle who don't want a theocracy or socialism. We want to be responsible for each other and expect people to be responsible for themselves. We're not victims, we're not whiners, we're not autocrats. We're just trying to make it and help others make it, too.

So, Dr. Dean, mark me as minus one Democrat. There are more people like me than you realize.

We're going to build our own home.
