now
water why do if i've got a tea party here
as my member of congress
first of all you don't give up i think the biggest thing right now shes apathy
in people throwing up their hands to beggars can't be defeated we did that in
the last election cycle i think some of the biggest neanderthals
they were out there whether gallon west in florida
then longer who i know personally uh... random up and down the state of
california and joe walsh you'd ever pays child support out in illinois they're
all defeated uh... it requires those of us in our communities to get organized
uh... to do the hard work and having twisting to get out of knock on doors
register voters and turned out the polls this is small d_ democracy
but the reason as such are winning is because were abdicating or sitting back
and allowing them to
we throw up our hands and frustration because the democratic party
isn't responding to recent where we wanted to be
uh... it's easy to walk away it's another doing gates and so if you want
to get rid of the t_v_ are you gotta get engaged in a roper *** as they say to
my purse is a contact sport you gotta get out there and i worked a defeated
because they're working every day
the defeat you they're working everyday to take away those programs we fought
our father's file for our grandfathers fought for
weatherby social security medicare mental mothers and our mothers and our
daughter's death are your friends are here for the concord project this uh...
this thing was put together
uh... they were doing it systematically that was a relative acad two thousand
nine where they said you know the most powerful person america's dot the
president's a person committed person and you need to get all your tea party
friends to run for pre prison committee people take over local
uh... political presents right the right the uh... the party platforms deciding
the primary candidates are
and this is how we got all these tea party rs in congress with the model we
just all about in california we yes progressive empress america worked with
the larger progressive movement we're and what we call progresses slates
in assembly districts up and down the coast
up all throughout california jury has
from p_d_ helped organize for for us in susie shannon
for the larger progressive community and as you sat tom we gave up our saturdays
only one out our local fire houses are union halls are church's and our
synagogues and ran to be members of our state democratic party
april will be going to the state democratic party in california
who will pass resolutions in support of medicare for all hands on social
security
no strike on iraq this is the real small tea democracy these or the handles
of the party are these are the
places we can make a difference as crashes actors you guys is successfully
you know if you if you look at the tea party having successfully essentially
taken over the republican party
your successfully doing this within the democratic party only just you don't
have a fast enough you don't have a bill you don't have a couple of billionaires
no i don't have the coke brothers uh... we're doing it by folks that are giving
their ten dollars monthly we use the clean election strategy people give ten
dollars a month to help us
or sustain ourselves of the people that are making a difference were funded by
people that are listening and calling it not all everybody that the majority
mother was her sitting on the radio session
are the people that p_d_'s about we are
in the real sense a community the community of seventy thousand activist
who grew frustrated with our democratic party
the grew frustrated with what was happening in our neighborhoods and to go
up ourselves organized
weather day in your neighborhoods physically or getting on the phone we
organize on the phone we do virtual organizing
the five key issues within p_t_a_ we organize around
ending the occupation tonight
organize glad to hear and in the military occupation the middle east yes
didn't
all over i mean were in the ten year anniversary right now over rack and i
would argue the reason
uh... we finally ended up in the recent tonight the president's going down not
fast enough is because of that kind of work every few months people taking to
the phones taking ministries to do this work so if you can't
in your neighborhood fine like-minded people the art one of the pointer nick
as you can get on the phone to be part of your virtual community that meets on
the phone sixty seven after this from across the country well-connected
oftentimes you fill isolator uh... industries that's your first your first
issue is the end of the military occupations rather world redirect
military spending
uh... healthcare as a human right that's we talk on medicare medicaid and the
three are clean elections decibel complicated right now you talk about
overturning citizens united but we believe in public
we think that the three ninety-five you pay for happy meal should go towards
publicly financing of elections we should take all the special interest
money out so clean elections we also to make sure your balance
are cast in town at the way they are we have to get back to paper towels clean
elections
global warming big demonstration even talk about a bunch of running back to
remind people on the seventeen three at the largest demonstration probably in
history
right here in asians capital
on the whole question
of well et cetera right now run stopping
uh... tar since but the larger question of environmental crisis we face climate
control that's another one of the issues out that we organized french climate
change that we get on the phone to organize around and finally economic
justice which means a lot today uh... as one of your caller said when you live
went one percent on so much wealth what are we doing day today
to redirect that so some of the things we do on that work is the financial
transaction tax for the robin attacks
it's under arrest those on wall street in tax them uh... rather than uh...
rewarding them nasa work we do
