An end-of-year message from Robert Reich



The GOP theme song in 2013

I had fun putting together this video—which also calls out some uplifting wins MoveOn members and other progressives were able to achieve this year despite the "Do-Nothing Congress." I hope you'll take just a minute to watch and, if you enjoy it, pass it on.

Thanks for all you do—and all the best in 2014.

I'm a lot more efficient and some of this technical stuff than other volunteers, thus allowing others to focus on helping out in other ways that they're better suited at. A team effort. Just like before.

But the Democrats in Congress had better do that something about economic inequality or our party will answer for the inaction in 2016.

Need to likewise agree that Dems in Congress gotta move on presenting bills about reducing our great income inequalities. If these Dems don't stick out their necks, very negative results in Nov. '16 will follow. This is a certainty.

... the Democratic Party, like the Republican Party is owned and operated by corporate interests.

They are the 2 wings of the Establishment Party.
