Hi, my name is Brad

[Daylin Byak]

Good Evening fellow DU members. My name is Brad.M you may know me as Daylin Byak, part moderator of the topic forum and the state/county forum. I'm here not as a mod or as a board member but as your friend and confidant, i'm here to talk to you about the november mid-term elections.

Now I know alot of you hate the Democratic party for there votes on such bills for torture and illegal wiretapping and you don't like there spineless but I promise you this, we will prevail, we will take back the house and maybe the Senate and I promise you this when that happens, changes will be made and america will be back on the track.

You have to keep the faith, it's a must. The Party believe it or not has a plan, a plan to change america which includes raising the minimum wage, finding a solution to end the war in Iraq, protecting national security, investigating gas gouging and so forth but that plan can't go into effect unless the Democrats get back into power but they don't get into power unless you vote them into power, america's change starts with you my friend.

Listen I know your frustrate with those southern, blue dog and DLC Democrats that never support the party line when it needs to be supported. Well let me tell you something those Democrats are in the minority and will always be in the minority of the party wing. Come January of 2007 Progressive Democrats will be running the show, For example instead of Bush bot Repuke Jim Sensenbrenner as judiciary chairman you'll see the great John Conyers, wouldn't that be nice. Like I said before progressive Democrats like Conyers, Jim McDermott, George Miller and Jim McGovern running the show,and conservative Democrats like Henry Cuellar, Collin Peterson and John Barrow(if he survives re-election) would be nothing in our new majority.

Please i'm begging you come the November elections don't turn on your Democratic Congressman because you didn't like how he voted on this bill or that bill and vote Green or god forbid Republican, if you don't like him take your anger out at him at the primaries but come november we all need to show solidarity and vote blue in 2006, it's the only way to get america back on the right track.

To quote a line from a song by pianist Bruce Hornsby: "There's gonna be some changes made."

Thank you for letting me talk to you about this important issue, have a great evening and a safe tomorrow.
