18. Inequality has to be what we Dems focus on for Mid-Terms and Beyond...
Wed Jan 29, 2014, 08:57 PM
Jan 2014

There are those who want to accuse Dems of "Class War" and frame it for Faux News as that.

But...most Americans can definitely understand "Inequality" THESE days...because we ALL LIVE IT... And this isn't just a Dem issue but an issue we and our Republican relatives and co-workers, friends are living through also.

If we could get past the animosity of the Dem vs Repugs Debates then the way would be that "Inequality in America has Grown under both Republicans and Democrats....so HOW do we work to Change It?

This should be the message...that we should be trying to get out there and hold our 2014 Candicates in our States fee to the fire. And that's both the Republican & the Democratic Candidates.

We need Banners and Posters expressing how American Families and Workers are NOW UNEQUAL!

This has to be the rallying cry to get Voters back in the polls for 2014!

But...I dont' see much interest here on the Dem Side or Republican Side for such an effort ...at this point.
