I am speaking to all Democrats who are in a position of some power and to all who are trying to get there. To you who have some sway over the course of our great country's future and its lasting legacy... I am more than asking, I am begging.

In your gut, in your heart of hearts, you know the truth. We are headed over the edge and into the darkness and only you can save us. And let me be clear, what we want more than anything else from our leaders, by far, is to lead.
Now is the time. Stand up.
Show `the people' that we Democrats today can stand with the great Democratic leaders of our past and do what is right. Torture is wrong, denying prisoners the most basic of rights is wrong. It is Un-American. You know it is, we know it is, and they know it is. If you do not stand up... who we are as a people will be forever changed.
We need you to stop this madness. Any way you can. Take to the airways, the back rooms, the streets... even the mountain tops and speak with one voice and with the conviction and knowledge that you are right. Stand up and filibuster, stand tall.
Show everyone today, that if in November we gain back some control of our government, you can be trusted to lead us away from the precipice.
All we are asking is... show us you are leaders. Save us and we will give you the power.
Stand up now.
