Reply #85: So, you think you'll get more help if bush* stays in power? [View All]

You want help. I want to you get that help.

I've been working my tail off for 3 years now in the effort to build up a strong progressive base in my state Democratic party. I've signed on for a long term effort, building up the grassroots, educating people about progressive issues, and holding our elected Dems' feet to the fire every way I can.

I have spent ALOT of time and money working for the progressive cause -- and I'm no "latte liberal", I'm a single mom from a blue-collar family. I've lived below the poverty line most of my life and even now just barely make ends meet -- I don't even have running water because I don't make enough money to afford to get a well drilled.

"Wait your turn"? Who's asking to you wait? Join the battle! Those of us fighting hard for the progressive cause can't give you a timeline, we can only give you our commitment to keep fighting.

If bush* wins the election it will make the fight that much harder -- is that what you want? To make it HARDER for us to fight for YOU?
