We Can Change DU to PU [View all]

In it to do to the Dem Party what the TEA Party did to the Republican Party.
There's a reason why this change should happen & its time to push the movement for the 99% forward.
We have to find a leader who is willing to do the hard part of standing with us & getting their name on the Primary Ballot. The base is growing and support is there for a candidate.
This election will end with a big surprise because a real part for the people will emerge.
