2. We have the LA Senate race in a couple of weeks plus ...

The entire NC legislature will be up for election in 2017 in newly redrawn districts per a court ruling yesterday. Plus NJ and VA have governor and state races in 2017. We can win these races and start a foundation for winning in 2018.

3. This is ONE thing

we can learn from the Rethugs. They did this, from the ground up. Look at the Tea Party, it's how they did it.

Mind you, WE need to do this as well, but we offer much better than they do. Our party really is FOR the people.
