13. The party really needs to focus

on this issue and work hard to change it..

should be something we and our party work non-stop at until 2016 (and beyond)...

we need massive mobilization within our cities and rural areas to get to those who stand to benefit the most (the poor) from our policies and get them to understand that those policies are in grave danger unless they hit the streets and hit the voting booth.

the very foundation of our social safety net is in serious danger .. and we need to start acting like it. we don't have to use scare tactics, because the reality of it all is way more frightening than any dark advertising adventure we could ever embark on.

why we don't have an election day that's considered a national holiday is beyond me.. and its something we need to also be fighting for.

we have always been the party of the REAL silent majority.. and its more than past time that they started being heard.
