3. At this critical time of our democracy.....

We, the progressives, don't need Hillary Clinton, who is to the right of Obama dragging the Democratic Party to where the Republican Party is at.

Bernie is the answer, and I know that with the right message, and his ability to debate Clinton might attract true progressives who have abandoned the Party because it was lurching to the right. It's time to put progressives on the ballots.

Progressives issues won in 2014. Progressives who didn't run away from issues won re-election. My former Democratic Senator ran away from the issues and lost to a crazy Teabagger. Now we're stuck with him, and the guy who ran the DSCC committee happens to be our othre idiot Senator who is already a known Third Wayer, so hopefully he gets a primary to the left when it's time next year. I think I have an idea who to back, if he's up for the job.

The point I'm making is - we need to put all progressives in the front burner, ignore the DSCC/DCCC insiders, and roll with the grassroot support, and show the people powered Democratic Party - the 99%, not the 1%.
