Talk about jobs.All Americans can understand the issue it affects their lives.They may not care about immigration or understand civil rights,but they understand their jobs are going away.Bring up corporate greed and show what the CEO's are making show how much money is given to politico's and people will understand.Tell them selling their jobs to the lowest bidder isn't inevitable.They will listen and if you have a plan to stop that loss of jobs they will vote for you!

1. Good point...
Although everything affects us to one degree or another, it is the perception of what affects us that is the point.

Gotta play to what will directly take food from the table... or kill our cars... Or most people won't see it.

2. AGREE!!!!!
Talking about keeping jobs in the United States and making it harder for corporations to screw over the worker would go along with Americans.

5. New jobs for new energy.


Where are jobs to replace those that have bled from this country under five years of Bush going to come from? Well, the energy sector seems an obvious choice. An out-of-work wiring contractor could learn solar PV installation. An out-of-work landscaping company could dig geoexchange heat pump trenches. An out-of-work real-estate agent could learn how to perform home energy audits and the financials of renewable heat and electricity. An out-of-work assembly line worker could assemble solar panels, micro-generators, or batteries.

And an out-of-work steel worker could make giant wind turbine blades and towers.

6. Absolutely true.
End the blood-letting. We need well paying jobs with benefits and security for ordinary working Americans.

Show me the candidate that offers that, and I will show you a President.

9. Competence and Power.
Dems have to frame every single issue with a veneer of competence and partisan power.

When Dems talk about jobs, health care, Iraq, war on terror, or virtually any other issue we need to remind everybody of how incompetent and how powerful the Repugs have become. The electorate must see that the sole corrective action is to force the Repugs to share power with the Dems, something that will not happen until there is a clear Dem majority in the House and Senate.

10. ....and WAGES
Cheap labor conservatism is killing this country. Offshoring jobs and importing Mexicans to do what they can't offshore are the symptoms. Demanding a free ride on the backs of exploited labor is the real disease.

Talk about wages. Talk about jobs. It's been over 30 years since the Democrats have done that and that's why they're out of power.
