What does "your" Democratic Party stand for?
I'm not sure my Democratic Party is the same as yours?

Does your Party exist solely to keep the Republicans out of power?

Does your Party exist to protect and improve the lives of the more needy?

Does your Party believe more in tax cuts or tax increases?

Does your Party believe that the New Deal legislation is now obsolete or at least in need of a major overhaul?

Does your Party believe that corporations are a necessary evil or maybe not evil at all?

Does your Party believe in a progressive tax code and strict regulations?

I'm not certain "my" Democratic Party exists anymore?

But I don't think our leaders and politicians bother to read it.
