<DIV>"Im finding it so exciting to have this discussion with people now because
people are incredibly frustrated now and are incredibly distraught, feeling like
they just worked themselves to the bone in the last presidential election and
what did we get for it? We continue to have the expanding wars, the meltdown of
the climate, the continuing, ongoing bailouts for Wall Street</DIV>
<DIV>We’ve been told that we had to be quiet and sort of hold our noses and vote
our fear or terrible things would happen. What we find 10 years later is that
political silence has not been an effective strategy. The politics of fear has
delivered everything that we were afraid of. I think there’s a whole new
openness, considering new solutions and acknowledging that the politics of fear
leads to more fear. We need to answer that fear with the politics of courage.
Look back over history, because while independent parties have been small, they
have served a critical role in driving a progressive agenda into the
dialogue."</DIV>
