Hillary, the 2016 Democratic Party Presumptive Nominee for President, & Elizabeth Warren, the Senator from MA, will Hit the Campaign Trail Together Tomorrow

Tomorrow! Monday, June 27th Campaign Event with 2016 Democratic Party Presumptive Nominee Hillary Clinton and Senator Elizabeth Warren!

I am not going to talk very much because I am going to ask Hillary supporters, and other interested parties, to do a bit of homework, to watch a 40-minute video Sen. Warren posted on her Facebook Page of a speech she recently gave at the Massachusetts Democratic Convention and to pay close attention to the last 15 minutes of it -- 

before you watch Hillary and Sen. Warren share the stage in Ohio tomorrow.

Just a few contextual comments from me:

Sen. Warren is my Senator!

When she ran for office, I had read the book she wrote with her daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi, "The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents are Going Broke" and I knew she was smart. I knew she did her homework. I knew she was vocal. I knew she was not an experienced politician. But, I also knew she believed government should, could serve as an agent for The People, i.e. The Common Good ~ and that is my passion, so decided to give her a shot at representing me and my state and I voted for her.

And, it is beginning to look like I was right.

Not surprisingly, there have been times I have been frustrated by her political naivety and for the most part I have worked at not taking her to task publicly but at communicating with her via the contact section of her website, with no reply necessary.

I don't agree with every word she says. I don't agree with every word she says in the video.  I do, however, see that she's a Democrat, that she's come to a better understanding of the complexities of government, of the process, of the responsibility of the voter and that she makes an even stronger case for government as an agent for The People and that makes me feel encouraged about her.

This is what she wrote on the post accompanying the video:

A future worth fighting for

I spent most of my career studying what has happened to America's middle class and why working families are going broke. A few weeks ago, I gave a Powerpoint presentation on it at the Massachusetts Democratic Convention. At heart, I'm a pretty hard-core data nerd, and I love giving this type of talk. The video here is long – 40 minutes – but if you care about the economic security of working families and what we can do to rebuild our middle class, I think you'll enjoy it.

Sen. Warren is going to be working with Hillary to assist her in winning the White House in November and she is going to be working down ticket, as well. She knows if Democrats are to succeed they need a Democratic Congress as well as a Democratic President and she's willing to roll up her sleeves and get it done.

It is my hope that Democrats will listen to her here and learn more about who she has become  during her early years in the Senate and imagine who she will become during the time Hillary will be her role model and that you-all will communicate with her to teach her when she needs teaching and although there will never be another Sen. Ted Kennedy we just might get an updated version of a Democratic lion in the Senate ...

Hillary is not Taking the Summer off & We can't Either: Five of my Favorite Ways to Advocate for Her Every Day...

Hillary's primary campaign style is to travel the nation and to speak to The People as directly as she can and the above photo is a great example of that.

It is a work style that does not get a lot of media attention so I (and a lot of other people!) volunteer to work to amplify her voice across social media platforms.

It's also a great way to let her know we are all here. You can be sure the haters do.

You should free to borrow an idea and/or to share an idea if you are working to move Hillary's message to as many people as possible this summer!

Dear Democratic Party Members: It is Time to Reject the Guy From Vermont Who is Using & Abusing Democratic Party Hospitality / With All Due Respect!

Dear Democratic Party Members:

I am not always successful but I work at being respectful in the context of my politics and even though I instantly rejected the guy from Vermont as a viable choice in the 2016 Democratic Party Nomination process -- because he is not a Democrat and because he is a man without the courage and conviction of his own belief system, choosing to crash my Party for his own political expediency and to not start his own party -- I continued to work at being election cycle respectful. It is how I was raised.

But, I've had enough ~ not so much because of his duplicity but more because of his sweeping, unsubstantiated character assassination directed at members of the Democratic Party. Beware, I am slipping more often at the With All Due Respect thing in the context of the guy from Vermont.

Personally, as a lifelong, active Democrat, (sometimes official card carrying and sometimes not), I am offended daily by the guy from Vermont who by his own admission detests the Democratic Party and who insults my intelligence by charging my support of Hillary is a part of some royal "coronation" conspiracy and who maligns good citizens like me as a part of some corrupt, anti-The People establishment.

It is my habit to check for an alignment of values prior to deciding if I will consider a candidate for an elected office or not. If there is no alignment of values there is no point in going any further in the process -- unless I can be persuaded otherwise prior to actually casting my vote!

A more visible example of the ill-mannered guy from Vermont's attack on the Democratic Party that offends me can be found in his non-evidence-based attacks on DNC Chair/Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz, a long-time public servant, who seems to be his unauthorized proxy for the Party and Hillary Clinton, i.e. red meat for his base. (Please the note qualifier "seems to be." I do not have his ear, I am divining here!)

Full disclosure, I am a fan of the Congresswoman.

I first saw the Congresswoman in a 2010 clip of a Fort Lauderdale, Florida Town Hall where she was talking to an audience filled with rabid GOP-ERS flipped out over the Affordable Health Care Act.

One rabid audience member, and I’m going on memory here, stood up and made some wild accusation about her being in favor of the Act because of her own cancer. She handled it calmly and professionally. She also peaked my curiosity so I Googled her.

I found out that the Congresswoman had BRCA1 and BRCA2 issues that put her at an increased risk for breast and ovarian cancers. As a result, she had gone through a year of procedures, treatments and recovery AND she had hardly missed a day’s work for us while doing so. I have been an admirer of her and her work ever since.

Yesterday, the Chair Released "An Open Letter my Fellow Democrats"

She ended that letter like this:

... Today I will make this pledge to you: I will always stand up for party activists because they bring us energy and ideas. I will always stand up for the leaders of this party because they volunteer their precious time to guide our progressive future.

But here’s what I’m asking of you, in return: When the work is hard, and passions run hot, and the road looks long, never forget the Americans we are fighting for.

This week, while reporters were writing story after story about party discord, 

marked the first time in our nation’s history that more than 90% of Americans have access to affordable healthcare. Because we elected a Democrat in 2008 and 2012, 20 million Americans have health insurance who didn’t before. And this month, we celebrated 74 consecutive months of private-sector job growth, generating over 14 million news jobs for American workers. When we come together as Democrats, we can accomplish great things for honest, hard-working people from every walk of life. That’s what’s important. That’s what we cannot let out of our sight.

I’m excited for the future of our party, and I’m proud of every Democrat working for a brighter future. On to victory! ... 

I hope she will be given the courtesy she deserves for the work she has done on behalf of Democrats and on behalf of The People ~ the courtesy of being heard.

In a World of Interaction Good Manners Matter!

The rumbling of a shift in the 2016 Democratic Nomination process has begun – as "Bernie Sanders Supporters Propose 'Mobilizing Voters'  to Beat Donald Trump"

The only real question has been the same question it's always has been: 

Will Democrats vote? Because, if Democrats vote; Democrats win!

The addendum question as we move through the process has become:

 Will Democrats vote for candidate presenting a culture of good manners or a candidate presenting a culture of no manners? And, it matters, because few people in this world want to collaborate with those who reject good manners in a world of interaction.

Cards on the table: I supported Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for President in 2008. I made the adjustment and supported Barack Obama once he won the nomination.

That is simply how it works. As a member of the Democratic Party I have agreed to a representative system of self-governance, with a particular focus on making agreed to adaptations every four years as we proceed to each convention and, with all due respect, I adhere to it.

Frankly, as a Hillary supporter it was up to Sen. Sanders to change my mind. 

He did not. In fact, I disqualified him from consideration very early on when he 1.) Decided to pretend to be a Democrat and; 2.) Presented with a culture of rudeness that offends me and he's done nothing to alter either negative. (I will have to revisit that decision if, by some miracle, he wins over the best candidate for president in my lifetime. But not today.)

I am of the mind that, at this point in time, I have heard all I need to hear. And the closer we get to wrapping up the nomination process, the simpler I like to keep it: 

I'm blocking out the noise and I'm focused on the work style of the candidate I would prefer to see in the Oval Office.

Surprise! Good manners win the day! In a representative government, success can not be achieved without good manners. And Hillary is the only candidate who has them.

Having said that, the good news, as I said in the beginning is: 

The rumbling of a shift in the Democratic 2016 Nomination process has begun which indicates to me, someone on the pro-Sanders side gets it and more Democrats will vote and Democrats will win!

ICYM!
