I would add to this list "recruit young candidates whose beliefs and goals are consistent with these items to build qualified, honest, compassionate legislators for the future."
What's tragic is that the Democratic Party as currently configured gives lip service to some of these items, dismisses many as "too far left" and has zero interest in winning elections and having to do the hard work of implementing them.
It’s downright tragic now that the one party with the power to make change can’t get it together. Of course we need younger people, but we need people in higher office who have come up in the ranks, who have faced the issues and are ready for the challenges. We’re in an era now where anyone can do it, where personality ranks higher than experience, where age is more of a factor than duty or wisdom.
What could we do about the jerks who are able to buy public land to start drilling for oil in national parks or worse start fracking. Imagine seeing that all over the Grand Canyon.
I would vote for you but I might add that ICE is necessary to keep us safe from all the trafficking that goes on at the boarder. The immigration system has been broken for many years and need to be fixed. This administration has made it worse than ever. But we also need a Congress that will be willing to follow the law and addresses the problems with the Supreme Court and the executive branch and enacts laws that will keep them on their toes
We need border patrols. We don’t need ICE. They’ve damaged their reputations beyond repair by doing Trump’s and Stephen Miller’s evil bidding. Their very presence now smells of jackboots and betrayal. There is no place for them.
If I could give you a million “likes” it wouldn’t be enough.
You’re the experienced mentor with wisdom enough to know that this platform represents the path to the Four Freedoms brilliantly articulated by FDR on January 6, 1941.
When someone comes along and is smart enough to be on board with you, I’d back them with everything I have.
Thank you so much. There is someone out there who must feel the same way and would create a similar platform. Our job is to find them. We don't have much time.
Ramona, let me be one of the first (and I anticipate many) to tell you that you would have my vote!
Thank you, but save it for someone who could actually win!
Yes! We need to be working for what we stand for, what we want to do—not just what we’re against. I’ll back your program, all the way.
Thank you!

All of that has to change.
We need both young people and people with experience - most of all we need decent, honest people.
You have my vote.
Thanks, but it could never happen. Still, my agenda is free for the taking.
Hi Ramona,
I love and appreciate your passion (and writing). I love your agenda. I love YOU!
Fingers crosssed Dems can get it together in time.
And, yes, you'd have my vote. If only.
Yes, fingers crossed. But they’ll need pushing.
We need you around here, keeping everybody at least relatively straight and rowing in the same direction on this creaky platform. -Prost
I’ll stay in my place here, but, man, if only my wish list could get some traction.
Love this platform!
Great platform I would vote for you . hugs and peace to you and family
Love this, Ramona! I would vote for that platform in a heartbeat!
You have my vote!
I'd vote for you!!

Ramona I would back you! That is a platform I could get behind. Awe for the days when I actually thought we were heading that direction.
Now to find the person who will fill that spot. If we get the chance again.
You are right I was not thinking clearly. We need the border patrol. I need to dig deeper into ICE.

Inspirational Ramona, absolutely brilliant. 🇺🇸

You’ve outlined a humanitarian agenda that the next Democratic candidate should run on. Too bad it won’t be you.
It doesn’t need to be me, but it has to be somebody!
