62. or, you could change the way the DLC acts.
When polled, the overwhelming MAJORITY of Democrats OPPOSE positions taken by the DLC on the issues. The DLC should unite behind the MAJORITY and support liberal issues.

Universal healthCare

NO expansion of the War in Iraq ( majority on 1yr timetable for withdrawal)

No Free Trade

MORE regulation on Big Business


Seems like its the DLC that should "Get with the Program".especially if they want our votes.
