I was very proud of the legacy left by FDR....and, later, LBJ.

I am NOT proud of what passes for the Democratic Party today. The reasons I joined for have all been abandoned by The Party. (FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights).
I am sick of being lied to from the Presidential Podium, and from the (never meant to be kept) Campaign Promises.

I may leave the Party if another Corporate sponsored candidate wins the nomination.
