You have to have leaders who go on to being elected.

It is also why Ralph Nader did everything half assed when he could have been elected (had he actually wanted to do hard grunt work)

Some of the great 60s protesters learned that you have to be in it to do something

which is how America works.

Bravo to these two.

If OWS went to every single district that is red and got known and liked in the community and ran as democrats for the house, they could all occupy the house in 2014 and achieve an actual something longterm.
all it takes is work.
