The Constitution, Ken Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion

I want to thank all of the people who have joined on as
friendsters to this page. I am not Gov. Dean, however I am
a supporter, and wanted to get the "Dean for President"
logo to as many sites as possible. - Today I reached the
maximum of 500 friendsters so I will not be able to add
more friendsters to this page. - In the begining I was on
fire for Dean, and though I dont understand why he dropped
out, where all the money went, why he lost Joe Trippi in
the middle of the campaign, or why he did not attend and
demonstrate ALL of the primaries, I still think he had the
best agenda for a president that I have heard yet. - Some
say he isnt electable. I dont know what that means
either. - Anyway, Dean is in Debt now, and needs more
support, so contribute if you can. - A man does not have
to be President to influence and change the peoples
perspective. Dean may still have plans., - We must make
sure Bush doesnt get back in.








Howard Dean called the governorship "the greatest job in
Vermont" when he took the state's top post in 1991. In the
decade since, Governor Howard Dean has led Vermont with a
firm fiscal discipline, an unwavering commitment to
children's health care and education, and a keen
environmental awareness. Governor Dean is a physician who
previously shared a medical practice with his wife. He
received his B.A. from Yale University in 1971 and his
medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in
New York City in 1978. He served in the Vermont House from
1982 to 1986; was elected lieutenant governor in 1986, and
became governor in 1991 with the death of then-Governor
Richard Snelling. A common-sense moderate who firmly
believes that social justice can only be accomplished
through strong financial management, Governor Dean has cut
the income tax twice, removed the sales tax on most
clothing, and reduced the state's long-term debt. Not only
did the governor pay off an inherited $70 million deficit,
he worked with lawmakers to build "rainy day" reserves to
help the state through any future economic downturn.
During
the Dean tenure, more than 41,000 new jobs have been
created, the state's minimum wage has climbed twice,
incentive programs have expanded to help downtowns attract
new businesses, and tax incentives were created to attract
and keep new companies. If fiscal management is Governor
Dean's trademark, improving the lives of Vermont's
children
is his passion. A physician, Governor Dean strengthened
the
Dr. Dynasaur program to guarantee health coverage to
virtually every child in Vermont age 18 and under. Vermont
has one of the lowest uninsured rates in the country --
and
highest rates of immunized children. Governor Dean has
expanded programs to help seniors afford prescription
drugs, and signed into law one of the toughest managed
care
consumer protections in the United States. It is
preservation of Vermont's precious natural resources and
landscapes that the governor considers his legacy.
Governor
Dean worked with local communities and the federal
government to preserve more than one million acres of
farmland, shorefront, working forests and wilderness.
Under
the Dean Administration, 76 of the state's leaking
landfills were safely closed, and Vermont became a leader
in the move to reduce mercury pollution and stop power
plants from polluting the air. Governor Dean has created
bikeways, led the effort to restore commuter rail service
in Vermont, and led a strong, coordinated attack on
sprawl.
Working with lawmakers, prosecutors, judges and law
enforcement, Governor Dean has cracked down on violent
crime in Vermont and ensured that violent felons spend
time
behind bars. He has fought to protect family farms,
increased the number of women and minorities in judgeships
and other prominent positions, cracked down on domestic
violence, and put Vermont in the forefront for child
support collections.
