My Platform, The Foundations

Posted on November 17, 2008 by Aunt B.

I’m really, really struggling (but in that pleasant way) to articulate to myself what I want to see in a Democratic Platform.

And I think I would boil it down to two sentences:

If you’re here, you’re “us.”  And we take care of our own.

Or maybe even one, if you like more touchy-feely shit.

We’re in this together.

Yes, Tennessee as a giant, unruly street gang.  And whew, does getting jumped in suck–six million people kicking the shit out of you.  But, once you’re in, you’re in.  We have your back.

    That covers my main issue, immigration. It’s a deal.
