Hillary UP! Or Lose what Ben Franklin Clearly Identified, when Asked: A U.S. Republic IF we can Keep it!!!

It is my observation that too many Democrats have difficulty understanding neither 20th Century thinking in the 21st Century is going to bring peace and prosperity to a United States that now plays in a global sandbox and not in an imperialistic sandbox (extreme right) or an isolationist sandbox (extreme left) nor is anti-U.S. Government sentiment (both extremes).

It is also my observation that civics illiteracy in this nation, which has permeated the population, including the media, may very well hasten our downfall in November 2016 if Democrats do not vote for the best candidate thereby preventing either extreme from winning.

I have a vision of the only Democrat in the race (Hillary Clinton!) winning the White House, assisting in taking back the Senate and increasing the numbers in the House in November but that is not going to happen if Democrats, on paper or in their hearts, don't fulfill their civic duty as informed, participating citizens in their own government.

And for many, that may include an immediate pause and a quick review of how our system works because it is not, as it seems to be believed fairly widely, our system that is not working -- systems are only as good as those who are running them -- it is our electorate that is not working.

Everything is more complicated than what I will provide here for your consideration, of course, but I'll kick start a quick and simple review of our system after which I will hope the most critical question will be asked when listening to candidates for the presidency of the United States (and the media) ~ is it true? followed up by fact checking it on Google!

About a 10-minute clip on our form of government!

About a 9-minute clip on the three branches of government!

About a 7-minute clip on how a bill becomes a law!

Clearly, collaboration in government can be very important so take a peek and see which candidate for president has the best chance at that!

The Endorsement Primary

Also, many in the electorate, it seems, do not understand how the Democratic Party works, i.e., the Democratic National Committee structure, so I'll leave a few relevant links that might be helpful in clarifying that the Party is made up of rank and file members who through hard work and time put in at local levels across the country earn their way to top Party positions.

The 2012 Democratic Party Platform

The Charter and the By-Laws of the Democratic Party of the United States

Association of State Democratic Party Chairs

And, last but not least, it is my experience that Hillary is the only candidate for President of the United States who fully understands AND who accepts how our system works and she does not pretend otherwise. Since her first race for the office in 2008, she has noted as she has shared her policy proposals that we do, indeed: Have a Congress!

First of the Month Favorite Hillary Clinton Posts ~ Shareable and Sometimes Actionable ...

You can share the meme on Twitter here

FYI: This is a working Blog! because Democrats always need to work at messaging Democratic Truths up and down the ticket...

But, it is my analysis that nobody needs truth messaging more than my candidate for the 2016 Democratic Nomination -- Hillary Clinton – who is not being honestly described by many, including but not limited to opposition and talking heads, as the long-time progressive Democrat she is, making Hillary the focus of my recurring First of the Month Favorite and/or Shareable Posts Blog!

As we close in on the 2016 Democratic Nomination please use the direct links provided and share and/or take action when and where appropriate.

Take the Best; Leave the Rest. But push the truth!

For your own information, my personal habit is to share directly from Hillary's social media platforms and other like-minded sites, as well, and to save favorites on my Desktop for later sharing. I create a Hillary memes folder and drop them into the folder and when I have a block of time I share them directly from that folder to my preferred social medium platforms.

( * Today, I am providing direct Twitter links on which you can click and share with your friends. To share on various platforms of your own choosing, you’ll have to do the annoying thing and download, save, write a comment and re-post...)

^ Hillary is the only candidate with a presidential temperament.

You can share that meme on Twitter here

^ A lot of The People spoke yesterday (3.5) and most of them are spoke Hillary's name!

You can share the meme on Twitter here

^ Hillary knows America is great! She wants to make it greater, i.e the ongoing perfecting of the Union!

You can share the meme on Twitter here

^ All Democrats share the Democratic Platform, as a result Hillary will protect President Obama's legacy and she will build on it.

You can share the meme here

^ Picture it!

You can share the meme on Twitter here

^ True!

Talking Back to Main Stream Media ? Keep @ it! They Can Read & They Can Hear & Everyone Can Change...

It is only one quote from one of our Founding Fathers but I think it makes clear freedom of the press was recognized as critical to the success of our government as they designed, ratified and implemented it and, frankly, I am of the mind that inclusion in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution calls for more than the electorate is getting from most of main stream media.

In the context of this election cycle, I see more and more people, particularly on Twitter, sharing their disappointment with the performance of a media they depend on for accurate information and that is great and I just want to take a minute to say: Keep @ it! because, as someone once told me a long time ago, once it is said and heard it is can not be unheard and the subconscious will do its job -- with most people.

It has been my experience that once a thought is dropped into my subconscious mind it tends to float to my conscious mind in a timely manner and the choice is mine -- to pay attention or not.

Impacting minds is slow, I'll grant you that, which is why it is great that people are employing a variety of tactics to make the point that a main stream media that is blatantly bias, a main stream media that grossly misinforms and a main stream media that merely serves as free advertising for politicians is not acceptable. (Real time critiques on programming, changing the channel on the worst segments of programming and literally boycotting entire shows and/or stations are some of the examples I see.)

Unless the talking heads want to stand up and share that they've heard us and that they are trying to improve their performances ~ because it is the right thing to do ~ it is nearly impossible to document results but if you are talking back your words are in their subconscious and you will hear them, making it possible for you to discern change when it happens no matter how subtle it might be.

During the months of January and February, I jotted down some notes on some of the small changes I've see in main stream media, directly connected to what I've said to them, that may find of interest:

New Day's Alisyn Camerota, Chris Cuomo, Michaela Pereira

One of my favorite mantras that I Tweet to talking heads on a regular basis is that the habit of most programming is to misinform the electorate and then poll the electorate and then feed the results back to the electorate as "news" (the implication, of course, being that, that is not reporting), so I was thrilled to hear discussion on New Day recently that explained to the viewer that polls are not always the best indicator of what is really happening and how, directly related to the poll being reported on, 40 to 50% of the population was undecided.

Hardball's Chris Matthews

Following many calls by many people for main stream media to ask Bernie Sanders how he would pay for promises made during the nomination process, Mathews took that on in early February and he has continued to press Sanders on it.

MTP Daily's Chuck Todd

Just two days ago, after months of calls for main stream media to address the lack of congressional support for Bernie Sanders, Todd actually ask a Senator the question. (The response, BTW, was that, although he likes Bernie, he does not think he can be effective.)

No movement has or will come because of one person holding main stream media accountable on a part-time basis and I'm sure those of you who are out there working it have anecdotal stories of your own to tell, as well as direct responses from them -- all of which demonstrates that they hear us.

As noted, keep @ it! And if you are not doing it yet -- pick one favorite talking head and inform him or her that you notice when they are not doing the job they need to do if we are to have an informed electorate. (In my experience, I will say, most of them seem to favor Twitter!)

A Few Favorite Shareables to Share re messaging @SenMajLdr #DoYourJob !

^ You can share this on Twitter here

FYI: This is a working Blog! because, it seems to me we can not just sit by and be silent while the GOP continues to nullify a duly elected President of the United States of America (and our votes!) and is now treating him as if he is 3/4's of a person via denying him his constitutional right to nominate and Supreme Court Justice, effectively ending his 4-year term after 3 years.

Following are some favorite memes to share directly on Twitter! Please feel free to download them and re post them to any social media platform you favor...
