Obama is wrong on Social Security.

66. That is exactly what I think - pick a day and have everyone do it the same day

Let them see their base slip/sliding away, knowing if there are enough people who are doing this, they are not going to have the same level of support at election time. I think the day should be significant, like this Wednesday when the President formally announces his budget, but that is too soon to garner support for massive voter registration changes.

I am kind of not a leader in this type of thing. But I do know there are people who have organized these kinds of passive resistance movements, and we need to find them. Some of the people who worked on Draft Gore used to be on this website, but I am not sure if they still are here. I was a participant but not a leader in that movement. If we made the moves to defect and singled out a person that we would attempt to draft, that would definitely get the Democratic party's attention. Doing the hard work of getting that candidate on the ballot for 2016 in all the states would require dedicated workers. We could also set up some type of fund asking for donations as Draft Gore did to promote our intentions.

One of the things Draft Gore did was to take out a full page newspaper ad asking him publicly to run. The signatures of those sponsoring the ad were listed. We could also do something like this although we would have to take some time to get financially prepared. We would also have to agree upon the person we would want to draft. My personal favorite is Bernie Sanders, but I am sure others would have their personal favorites as well.

So the task at hand is to continue to talk about this and figure out how to proceed. Additionally, we would need to agree upon a method of communication which would allow more privacy than to plan on an open website.

So if you are out there, and you have ideas as to how to proceed, speak up!
