The Democrats do have a plan!

Via Andrew Tobias, I was directed to this post at Bryan's Blog:

I think what everyone desperately wants to see is Nick standing up and being tough, and responding aggressively to all the allegations in Shelley's ads; the same thing we wanted from John Kerry that he never did.

If the Democrats win the congress, it will not be because of the Democrats, it will be because of the Republicans. I'm sick and tired of our national party leaders not giving America what it desperately needs: a plan. Instead, they spend millions of dollars on stupid, poorly researched, political tricks.

And the sad thing is, a plan exists.

Few people know about the Democrats' "First 100 Hour Plan." Here's some details:

Put new rules in place to "break the link between lobbyists and legislation."

Enact all the recommendations made by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, maybe in one step. Cut the interest rate on student loans in half. Allow the government to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.

All the days after that: "Pay as you go," meaning no increasing the deficit, whether the issue is middle class tax relief, health care or some other priority

The problem is, this information can only be found in news articles and on a few blogs. No where is this on any websites for the DCCC, the DNC, or any of the national congressional leaders' websites.

They should be yelling and screaming this at the tops of their lungs.

Yesterday I had a few of our "gloomy Democrats" come through the headquarters. These are people who don't think Democrats will win, but they come to get their yard signs because they are loyal Democrats. I asked each of them if they had heard of the "First 100 Hours Plan," and they all said "no."

When I told them of it, their eyes all of a sudden got bright, and they all said "Wow. Now that's good stuff." And then of course they asked why haven't we heard of it.

Why indeed.

Of course, the answer to "why indeed?" is that it doesn't fit into the "Democrats are weak and disorganized" meme that the "liberal" mainstream media have been trying to sell.

The only way around it is to get this news out in other ways. I've posted the "first 100 hours" several times on this blog. Now I urge you to copy and paste this into an e-mail and send it to all your friends. The Democrats DO HAVE A PLAN!
