We are coming up on a new national election in a little over a year and the time is upon us to realize that there is a party in office that wants nothing to do with creating laws that benefit the majority of Americans. The Republican party is bent on the idea that keeping the wealthiest among us in the same or more wealthy state is their cause to fight for. It would be a good cause if all of us were wealthy but we are not so their idea only helps about 1% of our population. The other 99% of us are left with the other party, the Democrats fighting for our betterment. Now the Democrats are not perfect and some of their members in office actually help to undermine the 99% cause of betterment but for the most part the Democrats, especially the progressives are our champions. While Republicans are working to restrict voting where people traditionally vote for Democrats, the rest of our base needs to come out and vote in 2014 like it is a presidential election. We Democrats cannot be innocent bystanders in any election anymore where Republicans have the possibility of gaining more power to subdue the working/middle/poor class while continuing to enrich the wealthy. The absolute imperative nature of reversing Republican power in politics is fueled by the Republican attack on the opportunities most of us need in order to share in the American dream. I hope all of us find within ourselves the resolve to stand and move forward into our futures like our right to have a say in our governance demands.
