Jim Hightower says "Put The PARTY back in Democratic Party

[mod mom]

One of the fond memories I have from the last year was hosting a fund raiser for True Majority (don't you just love that oreo animation?) which included Jim Hightower as the featured speaker. We need someone like this Texas Populist to put some sense back in the Democratic Party. After the fundraiser, friends came over for a dinner we hosted for Jim. One of the more memorable things that stuck with me that night was Jim saying:

"We need to put the party back in the Democratic Party."

He said that in Texas, a group of dems would get together for a barbeque and that was the political meetings of the day. He is absolutly right. Who here wants to sit through boring meetings. Why not make it a fun thing. I did this with my precinct captains. Come over for drinks and dinner and talk about what we need to get done. It makes working on projects much more enjoyable. I have gained so many new friends and this past year.
