The right has been out-organizing us for forty years and they are steamrolling us on legislation.
I remember that during the height of the reproductive rights struggle before Roe became the law, while we organized for the streets.... the right organized in church basements where church ladies sat writing letters to their legislators by the thousands after church on Sundays.
When we "won" we left the streets and went home. They NEVER stopped. They kept writing those letters and kept writing legislation and pushing hard to get their vision achieved. They never surrender.
The left focuses on the White House, when State Legislatures and candidate incubators are the real power base. Democrats have totally dropped the ball there.
