get involved with your local party organization. Become the Democratic Party and you will have the power to change how the Party acts. Work to get solid progressive candidates on the ballot. Take part in GOTV efforts. Help with voter registration drives. Join committees in your local, county, and state party organization and make your input heard.
It's easy. Just google Democratic Party and add your locality information. Google will guide you to your local party organizations. Call someone and ask how you can become part of its functions. Don't expect to chair a committee immediately, but start working to build your credibility and you'll soon have more responsibilities than you can handle.
If your state is a caucus state, participate. If it is a primary state, participate. If it is a Republican-controlled state, participate even harder. You'll have an impact far beyond what you can do posting on the Internet about your frustration with the Democratic Party. Get involved and become the party. That's how it works.
Get started today. The 2014 elections will happen sooner than you think, and candidates are being vetted right now. Get involved and you can be part of everything. Don't get involved and you'll just be a spectator.
GOTV 2014 and Beyond!
