Our policies are right. From a moral and political standpoint.

But we're not reaching people with our ideas as much as we should.

and we need to stop letting that happen.

When people say we need to "listen to rural America" -- I say we need to make them listen to us when we talk about who we really are, not who we have been painted to be.

I wish Thom would get greater exposure. When Rush Limpwad was given a medal I though he is the antithesis of the award he received. Thom agrees with your sentiment. He is an humanitarian and and offers a lot of ideas on how to tell Americans who is working for them. Thom even has a cash reward for anyone showing Republican legislation which benefits the working class. He still has not had a winner take the money!

That's always a problem. At least these days there aren't so many people saying Democrats are corrupt because they benefit from superPACS and fundraise.
