Brands are expensive.
They also have recognition
and with recognition comes
familiarity and comfort...
or not, depending.

That's why the 3rd-Way stole
OUR party from under our noses.
Take It Back.

Right-wing politicians fear their base.
Democratic pols have contempt for us.
That needs to change.

The Tee Party is a successful template.
They built a farm league, and groomed
candidates to rise through the ranks.
The Democratic party is top heavy.
That needs to change.

REAL CHAMPIONS rise up through the ranks.
They prove their mettle and gain support
through ACTUALLY defending their values.
Real CHAMPIONS are not weather vanes
always going with the prevailing breeze.

We already have a Pee-Yoo.
Time for some spring cleaning
