A Democratic Party Motivational Song


Along with the lyrics,there is a sound recording attached to this posting.
Please give a listen and I would like to hear you opinion. I would like for
President Obama to hear the song and consider playing it at the Democratic
National Convention. I would also like to propose selling CD's of the song
as a way to raise funds for the Democratic Party. Hope to hear from you soon.


Democratic Party Motivational Song

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

We have arguments about pro-life and pro-choice
It my belief that every woman should have her own voice
Some people say that I’m a liberal because I look ahead and not behind
Because I welcome new ideas and try to be gentle and kind

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

Don’t say I’m not a Christian because I don’t do as you do
Don’t decide what is good for me and I won’t decide what is good for you
Most democrats believe in God and try to do as he commands
It is not your position to decide where we stand

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

Some criticize me because I have different ideology
But I’m also a loyal American and I make no apology
I will work hard and I’m hell bent
To elect a democrat as our next president
A proud democrat, loyal American, well educated and motivated
I will stand up for my beliefs and will not be intimidated
I hear many in the GOP say we need to take our country back
Well, this country belongs to me too, and that is a simple fact

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

(I'm convinced we can work through the stalemate
I believe in compromise and I'm not driven by hate)

The lyrics are good, the music is good, but I think the chorus lyrics would flow and fit with the music better if they were~

"I'm Democrat and proud," or just "Democrat and proud."

"Democrat and I'm proud," sounds a bit awkward.

Just my two cents...please don't tie me to the top of a car and take me to Canada!

Thanks for the critique and I value your opinion. My original thought was to do it the way you suggested, but my song producer wanted to do it the way it is now and I took his advice. I will probably change it for the next presidential candidate after Obama.

I wish my name was Stevenson.

He makes me want to become deputized. I come from the Southwest and we don't even call it 'deputized' . . . I think.
