Millie LaRuffa: time for the Democrats to become united
Submitted by Howard2 on Wednesday, November 3, 2004 - 13:14
Hi Howard, Today is a very sad day. I just sent this memo to the Democratic Party. Best wishes, Millie ------------------------- I think is time for the Democrats to become united and work hard (like the Republicans), not just during the election time, but every day. It would be helpful if there is more vigilance and band together in deciding who should be the next progressive candidates that have the qualities and believe in all the issues that is appealing to most of the Americans. I think it's time for the Democratic Party to join Democracy for America and make use of the Internet as a powerful medium to help identify progressive candidates. Avoid endorsing fake democrats. Sometimes, during the primaries, Republicans will have one of their candidates run as a Democrat against a true Democrat. If the Republican candidate wins the primary, then the public will have two Republicans to choose from (that will be the fake Democrat). Such thing almost happened in the run for NY State Senate (34th District). Stephen B. Kaufman, a Republican, ran for the primaries as a Democrat and lost to a true democrat, Jeff Klein. Not only was Kaufman receiving funds and endorsements from the Republicans, but two established Democrats also endorsed him. Kaufman finally ran as a conservative-independent in the final elections. Thanks to a smart public that avoided electing a Republican for the 34th District. In other areas or states the public might not be as wise. That's why the Democratic Party has to be vigilant. It seems to me that the Democratic party was too trusting (or too lazy) to keep track of what the Republican party has been up to for the last twenty years. When Pat Robertson (the evangelical leader) lost his bid for President, he said in his speech that he will start from the bottom up. Since then his supporters have infiltrated every position starting from the school board and all the way up. Vigilance, vigilance… Ms. C.M. LaRuffa Bronx NY
