Democratic activists need to know direction the Party is going?

6. So over the next few weeks we all should be writing letters to our Congress critters

And TELL them what we want them to do. If they get back from their break or to their first session of Congress and there are tens of thousands of letters telling them the main issues we want them to fight for it will make a difference.

We should not assume that they are smart enough to figure it out or that they will look at polls to find out what the American people want. We should give them detailed lists of the issues important to us and how we want them to fight for those issues.

We should also let them know how we have each supported our Democratic candidates and our chosen issues in the past, whether through donations, through volunteering or through activism. If they know we will help them campaign in return for them supporting our issues they are more likely to work for us.
