Democracy Heroes or "Clucking Cowards"?
DC First says we need a president who will stand up for democracy in DC, not a "clucking coward." Some presidential candidates are still undecided if they are going to actively campaign for the votes of DC residents in our first-in-the-nation primary on Jan. 13, 2004. Those who have said they will campaign here will be named "Democracy Heroes"; those afraid to campaign here will be designated "Democracy Chickens." Click here to see DC First's lineup so far.
What can you do? Send this invitation to all of the presidential candidates and tell them we want to hear their solutions for ending the "Taxation Without Representation" status of over half-a-million DC residents.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
