"We Will Not Be Silenced"[documentary] is about the people who fight back by simply telling their stories: Teachers, professors, civil rights activists, lawyers, janitors, physicists, ophthalmologists, accountants, mathematicians, retirees - all bound together by their love of America and Democracy. They will tell us their experiences and how they feel betrayed by their own party. They will discuss how their party has disenfranchised them and how, when they saw and reported multiple instances of fraud, everyone turned a blind eye. Rather than support and protect the voices and votes of its loyal members, the DNC chose to sweep this under the rug by looking the other way, or using ceremony and quasi-investigations to assuage angry voters. It is our opinion there never before has been such a "dirty" campaign; the campaign that has broken the hearts and spirits of American voters, who once believed in the Democractic voting system.

We are not angry liberals; we are disappointed Democrats, who love our country and feel the DNC needs to stand for truth, care about its voter base and stop committing actions worse than what we only thought possible of the worst Republicans. The DNC and the Obama Campaign need to be held accountable for the catastrophe of the 2008 Democratic Primary. We must right their wrongs...after all, this is America, the Land of the Free, where every American has the right to a fair, honest voting process, and to have his or her vote counted...

No doubt they will stay loyal to the DNC. After all, what else are they going to do, join a Tea Party? 😛

True. They are loyal Democrats. But they will not be silenced about the voter intimidation and fraud and How Obama stole the election from Hillary ( according to them. Die hard Dems mind you. Not conservatives or Republicans but life long Dems!)

For the Tea Party movement to be something more than a phenomenon that perhaps ends up splitting the conservative vote in 2012, they'll have to attract disenchanted Obama voters in droves. Do you think they will?

All the Tea Party needs to do is bide their time and collect all the disenchanted voters from both parties. So far so good.

What agenda can unite people who voted for Obama and people who seemed to hate McCain?

ah, jobs, chop a chunk from the deficit maybe... I actually think there are some people out here that are just scared to death of the shape the government is in, so they are saving every penny they can. it's not that they can't afford that new car or TV. They are just making due with the old,, until they see something positive happen.... when i was in hawaii, the Hotel bookings were down,, and the people that were there, are spending far less money. Also alot of companies that are hiring are using Temp services, that pay no benefits. I saw this happening years ago.
And as I said before, that new Health Care bill has been a let down for many people,, I don't think they were really reading the thing, and now many are bummed out.
Fire at will

That's easy.

1. A sane immigration policy. Seal the borders. No immigration policy makes sense until this is done.

2. A sane energy policy devoid of cap and trade. The US needs to become energy independent and oil free. The US needs to go nuclear and use natty gas.

3. A sane fiscal policy balancing the budget.

4. True medical reform focusing on Medicare/Medicaid fraud instead of simply focusing on expanding the program as well as tort reform.

5. Get out of Iraq/Afghanistan, if the US is still there in a couple of years.

My guess is that the Repuklicans will be unable to provide an alternative like the one I am proposing.

if you mean sane as in whodey's standards, I think there's no chance of such thing ever happening.
