Offer a new new deal in the mold of FDRs
Promise to rebuild our middle class with stronger unions, by enforcing our anti-trust laws(yes, we need to break up big media, stop corporations from buying out smaller businesses and make sure small business has a chance), make sure we punish all offshoring of wealth, demand better schools, move forward with rebuilding our infrastructure and promise an America that is for all people.
We need to scream this message loudly on the t.v and we need to drown out the goddamn republicans so they can't control the message. We need to point out how the labor movement of the early 20th century built our middle class and promise outright a better life for peoples children then they ever had slaving away for 10 bucks per hour these past 30 years as the porkers at the top took it all.
If we can do that we have a chance.
Trump won Michigan, Pa and Wis based on his message of I'll do something about your job going over seas. Consider that, Even through he was the snake, he was right as the democrats haven't done crap in the past 35 years to stop it and he was the only one saying it. People voted for him because he had a good message! Democrats also need to make damn sure sure we point out that Trump lied to these people and won't do shit as he said he would.
Hi

Yes i agree with the overall message and plans for sustainable development and equal access.
We won't need to scream this, if we build and practice it directly ourselves.
Currently the Democratic party raises and wastes billions of dollars of donations on campaigns that do nothing for the working people and minorities.
instead of doing the same thing over and over, why not
invest those resources DIRECTLY into the programs we want to fund.
Those programs will speak and advertise for themselves,
where actions speak louder than words.
Here's the plan that came out of my own Democratic
Precinct 30 in the national historic district of Freedmen's Town
which is a landmark to Freed Slave churches, military and civil rights history.
www.campusplan.org
The idea is to take this model for sustainable communities,
where education, jobs and services are combined in a campus setting
managed by democratically elected resident councils and leadership,
and replicate this same structure along the border
www.earnedamnesty.org
to create resident-owned and managed
campus towns, military bases and city-states for sustainable economic development
by reforming:
prisons to provide educational rehab, job mentorship, and medical and counseling treatment
sweatshops and production factories to create safe and legal jobs, work-study and internships
immigration centers and programs
I planned to start with the district where I live using that as a national model.
Our Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has pledged to restore
Freedmen's Town as a national landmark site, and signed onto
the campus plans as part of HUD reforms under HOPE VI.
With Ben Carson taking over HUD we may have a chance to fufill these plans
that have been censored and destroyed by the politics destroying the
Democrats by buying and selling out voters and leaders for corporate interests
to finance and decide candidates for office.
So when that monopoly goes down, and the real people push forward,
we will finally see the prison and health care reforms long promised but never delivered.
It will sooner come from the grassroots up, not the top down.
By creating and promoting a better model for social programs,
we can attract interest, support and investors to fund these directly
and locally, and deduct the costs from taxes as either business or charity.
So we can build and fund these solutions ourselves instead of fighting
with other people or parties to try to go through govt as a middle man.
As for Republicans and what they can fund: the GOP and conservatives
I know believe in funding and supporting veterans through VA reform.
So I would lobby leaders from both major parties to offer BOTH
choices for taxpayers to invest either their taxes or tax deductions:
A. prison reform including defunding executions in order to convert
that whole system into medical education, training and services
for meeting the demands of the greater population and not just inmates
but using the same resources and billions in taxes already being expended
B. VA and veteran health care reform, to fix the current system that is broken
and expand on it to then serve disabled, elderly and low income
with effective services so that the rest of the population that can afford
to pay for medical care can also access affordable services where the
money pays for the others who can't
If we set up choices that align with party goals, then both parties
have a vested interest to make sure their reforms work cost-effectively
in order to afford to serve their members and the greater population.
If their reforms don't work and waste resources, the party members
suffer the consequences, just like a poor run business will fail, or an
effective organization like Doctors without Borders, Americares
or St Jude's Childrens Hospital will attract funding and continue
to expand and grow to serve more and more areas.
I was going to post thanks on your profile and ask to join
forces in setting up sustainable health care and service programs,
but this got so long maybe it's better to spell it out on your threads
where you are lobbying for longterm solutions that require more
discussion in depth and detail.
Thanks
