DU was different then

[Corey_Baker08]

25. Exactly Right, When I Joined In 2003 DU Was A Well Organized Passionate Physical Presence...

For Example At Bush's Inauguration There Was A DU Tent Members From Across The Country Who Were Coming To Protest Were Told Where & What Time To Meet Up, Same. With The Anti War Rallies In Cities Across The Country, In Some Cases These Rallies Were Organized By DU, & That Was Before The Ability To Advertize Such Events & Social Gatherings On Facebook...

I Understand The Lack Of Events Over The Course Of The Obama Administration But With The Help Of The DU Admins & Support Of Members We Can Become An Activist Group That Has A True Physical Presence In The Political Arena.

We Can Widen Our Base To College Campuses, Take Over Failing Local Democratic Parties & Re-Invent & ReInvest The DU Democratic Party: A More Liberal Party Focused On Key Issues Such As Fighting Poverty, Raising The Minimum Wage, etc.

DU Can Be The Next ACORN Or The Liberal Version Of Breitbart, We Can Summon The Work That John Edwards Was Doing (Before His Downfall) Such As The One America Organization That Fought For Those Living In Poverty, That Helped Raise The Minimum Wage In So Many States, We Can Raise Our Voices & Say Hard Work Deserves Fair Pay, We Can Fight Overtime Pay & Workers Rights & Support Unions & Those That Are Trying To Organize A Union, Along With Continuing Standing Up & Standing With The LGBT Community, Immigrants, Those Who For Too Long Have Felt Disrespected Or Discriminated Against...

In This New Year, 2017, It Is My Wish That We The DU Community Can & Will Sum Up The Courage To Begin Again The Work Of Taking Back Our Country. I Have No Illusions That This Will Be Easy. There Will Be Set Backs & People Who Claim We're Irrelevant, But We Must Know Our Causes Are Worth Fighting For, Our Ideas & Our Actions Will Help To Ensure Common Sense Solutions That Will Remind The Working Class Not Just Why They Should Vote Democrat, But Remind Them That They Are Democrats Because Anyone That Works For A Living Should Have Basic Promises Of The Essentials, A Fair Wage, Equal Pay, The Right To Organize, Healthcare, & A Quality Of Life That They, That WE Deserve...

Lets Make 2017 A Year That DU Grows Legs & Leads A Movement To Oppose The Trump Administration & Republicans At Every Turn, Every Time, Just Like They Did To Our President & Our Party...
YES WE CAN DU!
