Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

that 60% are for it. But others say that is not true, that it is Dems who are opposed to it.
I do think it's worth a try to let them know how the people feel about it.
I think that would be more effective if it is done by an organization who can collect signatures, rather than individuals doing it.
I will have to check out some of the organizations, the Unions eg, they cannot be too happy about it.
But a part of me thinks it is already a done deal which is why Obama seems to be so confident that he doesn't need his own party and is willing to go against them in order to get it done.
I hope I'm wrong.
