A Well-Funded, Viable Candidate…

I just had an really great conversation with a fellow MS-04 Democrat.  Because I’ve been talking with the other residents of Mississippi’s 4th Congressional District, I know I’m not the only one past ready for change in Mississippi.  I also know I’m more progressive than what even some of the Democrats want.  Well, I’m no DINO.  I’m a true blue, progressive liberal Democrat.

What’s more, I thought all Democrats were as progressive as I was — after all, the Democratic party is supposed to be the work party for the People….  Or that’s how I always understood it.

Some still feel as if I’m come out of nowhere.  Well, I’ve been here all along, just doing my activist thing as I wanted to do it.  However, the political climate has grown so hostile to most people in the United States that this election is too important to sit back and hope someone goes up against the GOP in November.

This campaign will be a huge battle.  I’m just hoping I’m not going up against people within the Democratic party.  We have to be united if we’re to have any chance of beating Palazzo — or whoever is the GOP candidate.  We can’t waste energy arguing amongst ourselves.  I need LOTS of support — very vocal support as well as monetary support before the Democratic Party believes I’m a candidate for whom the people of MS-04 will vote.

The local Democratic politicos are still looking for a “well-funded, viable candidate”.  If you want someone “well-funded”, then you’re looking for a Republican.  If you want “viable”, then actually ask the People what THEY want in a candidate.  I’m willing to bet that even those Dems who disagree with me on some issues will see that I’m willing to stand up for the People every step of the way in the vortex of greed and corruption that is Washington, D.C.

If I’m too progressive for the MS-04 Democrats and Independents, then we’re screwed.  The ONLY way to defeat the GOP in November is to be “true blue” and loud and proud about being for the People not corporations.

Or just expect more of the same crap we’ve seen from the obstructionist Congress that we have the past several years.
