This group is about Democrats getting back to their Working Class roots.

It's about no longer enabling the party to keep moving further to the Right.

It's about providing candidates for the voters that they can relate TO and who can relate to THEM.

Hillary is a hawk. She is a corporate candidate.

Her domestic policies lean towards the right, other than the obligatory ones that are required in order to qualify as a Dem, Minorities (women, gays and other minorities). Other than tose few issues, she is for all intents and purposes FOR issues that Dem voters oppose.

Not to mention that the people should have a say in who their prospective employees are going to be.

People want a choice. They do not want people we do know, picking THE candidate behind close doors.

That is not a democratic process.
