Well, Bobert, I'm glad to see you say it. You really are going to get off your soapbox and into the real fight? I'll believe it when I see it. The only fervor I've seen in the pits has been from the religious right, the feminist left and the professional politicians whose business it is to be involved. When you guys start realizing that political action is a process that is slow, frustrating, disappointing and, ultimately, fruitful, you will be taken seriously.
It will require that you work within the system and that means within the existing party structure. The religious right could have started their own party but they recognized that power was more readily obtainable by backing the Republicans and making themselves a major constituancy. You can do the same in the Democratic party. I hope you do. This nation needs a vocal and effective left wing. At present, the left is as potent as eunich.
