2. Measures are good

But we need to run candidates to have a lasting impact. Otherwise we'll continue to see people voting for liberal policy and not liberal people.

I'd really like to work on getting people elected, even if it's at the local level. We need to start getting people out there with a strong and clear message (directed more at "moderate" Dems than anyone else). We have to be able to get our message heard so that we can start changing the way people feel about leftist candidates. Even if we don't meet with much success the first election, we can start getting people used to the idea that FDR Democrats will support them and their needs.

I'd be happy to put in time volunteering for any candidates we can find up in Washington/Seattle.
