The basic plan will be to align with national and local organizations to get people elected to local row offices, county and state positions so that we build our bench and end up in the best position possible for redistricting after the 2020 elections. There will be a lot more on that over the next weeks and months.

For now, step one is that we take back our name. Over the past decade, we have allowed the Republicans to change us from “The Democratic Party” to “The Democrat Party.” We need to take the title “Democratic” and the term “democratic” back. Start today. Correct others. Think about it: we are both a party and a concept about what this country should be. The concept “of, relating to, or supporting democracy or its principles.”

Some of those principles are codified in the US Constitution. So memorize this:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Stand up for what we ARE. Be a Democratic who embodies democratic and Democratic principles and is committed to the rule of law.

It matters.
