5. WE the people! We the Democratic Party won!!

Nov 2012

This is our party, not Obama's. This is our country, not the 1%ers and the corporate media.

I am suggesting that We the People push our politicians into doing what we want.

I am suggesting we take our power back, negotiate from a position of power.

WE THE PEOPLE!

FDR was forced by the people to act, he did not act alone.

Obama doesn't want to take the heat or the blame, he needs us to push him so he can say 'hey I'm answering to the people's demands'
