  <default_description>In 2008, politics and party affiliation will be at the forefront of national news and personal consciousness. Why Im a Democrat explores the values and passions that make members of the party, despite certain differences of opinion, proud to declare themselves Democrats. A diverse group of citizens, many of them household names including Jonathan Franzen, Andre Agassi, Uma Thurman, Craig Newmark (of Craigs List), Frank McCourt, and Melissa Etheridge explain why they have chosen to be Democrats. We also hear from cops, firefighters, business owners, and even former Republicans and Greens about their reasons for voting Blue.</default_description>
