Mr. Wasserman: I started reading your "online" newsletter-rant" (I'm not sure what you call it), last year after you were interviewed on the "Jefferson Exchange" with Jeff Golden, from Ashland, Oregon,  a public radio station.  Nonetheless, thank you! I find a lot of comfort aand encouragement from you. I hope that you might reprise yourself, and make an encore appreance on the exchange before the upcoming election.  I agree that the "Dubya" (or maybe DUD'ya) can be beaten in the fall. Is it really true that the GOP has rigged the "House" so as not to ever lose control again? I think that if there was a real, concerted "movement" to register a whole lot of new democrats from the 50% of the people who do not bother to exercise their franchise, there might be a possible change.  Is this possible? I'm afraid that otherwise, we are left with a hollow, ghost of a republic, and America will then reveal itself to be the"Amerika" of Mr. Orwell, or Cheney, or Citizen Ashcroft, or Minister Rumsfield, or any other modern Fascist/Plutocrat that might stand  before us, waiting for our supplication.
