It is everyone's job to frame the political language, one way here
I have been pluging my ideas as they come to me into http://www.cafepress.com/ in the form of graphics and logos or frames. Some of them, below. You can make them into products and even make a buck. I think we activists can come up with some excellent ideas ourselves. We have plenty of ideas. That is not the problem.

The problem is we have no national direction from the party. Language only works and is used if it is used by large numbers of people, a consensus. My point is we can have thousands of good frames but they will fall flat if they are not agreed upon and used regularily. We need our leaders to tell us which ones to use so that we can use a certain set of them repeatively. But they won't ###$%@# do it! What can we do?

1. I agree - Dean is the only hope as our other DNC leaders do not lead
The mantra in the past was "organize" (still an excellent idea) - but there are a few other battle fronts that seem neglected.

2. But it isn't organized to not have a consistant unified message!

But I too hope Dean will get us going in that direction.

3. I wonder if the Chair has enough power to direct what needs to
be done...
