“Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” -- Lyndon Johnson

However bright our Vision for Michigan’s future or however noble our shared Values, they won’t amount to much unless we move from thought to action, and vision to reality. Put simply, that means enacting our Values in Lansing and Washington, DC. Enacting our Democratic priorities means crafting and executing a plan to achieve the Vision and Values that we hold dear to our hearts.

Note: This forum is for issue based discussions, not election related content. Please adhere to these guidelines or your post may be removed.
What are your ideas as to how we can work to engage more Michigan citizens in the future? What can we do to enact our vision and solutions?

We welcome everyone’s ideas for ways to move our state forward, and we look forward to vigorous, passionate, and most importantly, civil debate. Everyone at the table is there because they are deeply committed to Michigan’s future, and they deserve to have the ideas they hold dear be considered and discussed respectfully.

Any plan for victory needs to also include how we recruit and support candidates to help advance our plan.

VAN does need to be open to all election slots. Paying for this service decreases the access for poorer district parties, who cannot afford this service.

In order to be victorious, we must not be afraid to confront the opposition for what they are: corporate puppets. We must stand firm on our core values and refuse to budge, exposing the lies before they are made, because we all are intelligent enough to see what roadblocks will be placed in the way of truth.

As party members, we must be active in our communities so that when voting time comes, voters know we are not only talk, but action. There is little volunteerism for the party, and even less in the community at large. Reaching out to younger voters and debating the negatives associated with the Democratic Party will help them eliminate the brainwashing they receive from the "liberal" media. (oxymoron today with huge media corporations spreading and manufacturing consent.)

Just to note, this is a forum meant for discussion of issues, specifically regarding how we engage people and create policy victories - not electoral victories. Often they can be similar, but we're interested in hearing about how to win on issues: our Vision and our Values. Strategies for how to speak to those whom you aren't seeing eye to eye on, etc.

Passing an Employee Bill Of Rights can be accomplished by appealing to ones common since. If there is an open, honest, transparent and common agreement as to what makes up a "basic/minimum/common" work environment where employers and employees understand their roles and show mutual respect for each other than the work place will once again become less confrontational. A less confrontational, clearly defined and stable work environment results in employers/ employees being more productive. Passage of an Employee/Employer Bill Of Rights will create jobs; eliminate the need to define Michigan as a "Right To Work State" or "At Will" state, but as a true Democratic Capitalistic state, one which respects and honors both the Employer and Employee.
