Please join me on the flip for a message from the Emergency Democratic Election System
We need to STOP IT! I know we all want our candidate to win with a passion and when emotion run high we say things we do not mean. More importantly we forget the big picture and that is that without the House and the Senate we can't get anything done. We need to expand the majorities in both. We need to help get local State Reps and Senators and we need more Governors. The Presidency gets top billing but its the under card that we need get to work on whether or not Hillary or Barack run the big show.
We are missing the forest for the trees, not only do we need the Congress in Washington. We need the State Houses to put pressure on the population that will not go along easily down the new path.
We are so excited to finally have a chance to break the GOP strangle hold on policies, we need to funnel that energy to the Donna Edwards-es (sp) of the 2008 campaign. The next Tester, Charlie Brown or Mark Pera. Yes I know he lost but if we don't try we fail. I'd rather fail trying then not try at all.
By all means support you favorite Presidential Candidate but don't tear down your opponents it does not help, what does is using some of your energy locally drop fifty bucks on the Presidency and slide twenty-five bucks to a local Rep candidate. Phone bank fifty calls for president and then twenty-five for a Local/State candidate.
This fall, slap the Hillary 08 or Obamanation Bumper sticker on the car and next to it put your Rick Noriega,Darcy Burner or Eric Massa bumper sticker or yard sign. Help build the pool of new and better candidates for 2010 and 2012 and beyond to paraphrase a slogan "Think National, Act Local"
