This is intended to be a fictional account of one man's journey through the maze of the Democratic Party . . . I got a quick reply to my request for a meeting, so a few hours ago I met with the President of the local Democratic Club. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about him.

I'm also getting the sense that some people would prefer that decisions continue to made in 'smoke-filled rooms' and open the Club for true input and direction from the People -- something that just has to happen if we're going to get things back. The President of the Club is the District Director for an elected official. I'm quite sure, priority interests lie there. Having somebody like me, who wants to hold elected officials accountable to the People, and be sure they stick to Democratic principles, is a threat to the power structure. Read More
