8. Campaign promises or passed legislation? Which is important?
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 03:27 PM by HereSince1628
If you live in a precint, ward, district, or state without a blue elected official do we give up? No.

Do the elected blue officials give up on promises just because they are "politically risky?" Yes.

We win ONLY when the policies we want are implemented into legislation and regulations. That might be easier if someone who shares our view is elected but that alone will guarantee nothing.

Too many votes for and too much faith in people who believe only in winning elections is ruining our party.

We need someone to take some risks for us. We are dying of neglect out here in the backyard.
