We know there are more of us than them,,,we have got to get the right voters in teh right places,,,,,time has come for us to seriously consider a voluntary migration program for people to move from CA to FL, OH, WI, MI and PA for sole purpose of voting. We need to start the funding now so as to be in place by time to legal vote in those states. Can be like Peace Corp use to be , a real way of serving ur country. We will need a fancy name for it!

1. I prefer to find ways to implement Obama's vision for the near future.

I was heartened to hear this at a press conference. It echoed my thoughts after attending a Democratic town committee meeting after the election. We were making a list of things for Massachusetts Dems to push this year, and those of us who wanted to put "attend to the mid-state rust belt" couldn't even get it on the list. Finally a note was made in the lower right corner of the white board.

Does this excerpt from the press conference appeal to Sanders supporters?

What I've said is that I can maybe give some counsel advice to the Democratic Party. And I think the -- the -- the thing we have to spend the most time on -- because it's the thing we have most control over -- is, how do we make sure that we're showing up in places where I think Democratic policies are needed, where they are helping, where they are making a difference, but where people feel as if they're not being heard?

And where Democrats are characterized as coastal, liberal, latte- sipping, you know, politically correct, out-of-touch folks, we have to be in those communities. And I've seen that, when we are in those communities, it makes a difference. That's how I became president. I became a U.S. Senator not just because I had a strong base in Chicago, but because I was driving downstate Illinois and going to fish fries and sitting in V.F.W. Halls and talking to farmers.

And I didn't win every one of their votes, but they got a sense of what I was talking about, what I cared about, that I was for working people, that I was for the middle class, that the reason I was interested in strengthening unions and raising the minimum wage and rebuilding our infrastructure and making sure that parents had decent childcare and family leave, was because my own family's history wasn't that different from theirs even if I looked a little bit different. Same thing in Iowa.

And so the question is, how do we rebuild that party as a whole, so that there's not a county in any state -- I don't care how red -- where we don't have a presence and we're not making the argument, because I think we have a better argument. But that requires a lot of work. You know, it's been something that I've been able to do successfully in my own campaigns
