left, wrong & center.
proud democrat - in victory and in defeat.
we remain the party of the working class and normal people, even as we have become the party that champions civil rights for a wide range of americans. we don't need to surrender one for the other - the two depend on each other, and they always have.
geared towards those in the majority who already largely (if not exactly) share my values and bridging the communication gaps amongst ourselves - since we already speak so much of the same language - as well as remembering who we are really up against in the battle for the very core of our country.
