While there is much public discussion about getting special interest money out of politics, an equally important mission is to get people back into politics. The activists are the ones who win the close elections, reach out to people and key constituencies, know the central issues and embody the Democratic for which we fight. They are the ones who make the calls, knock on the doors, turn out for popular support, give the money, and carry our message. Below we list some important things that activists can do year round to build the Democratic Party, prepare for Coordinated Campaigns, and build democracy. We have such important things to share with our neighbors, community and district.
Grassroots activists can spread our message in a variety of ways.
Your state party may have an e-mail or fax list with talking points you can receive. They may have updates to give you on our perspective or response to legislation, campaign developments or breaking news stories. Your voice should also be heard. You can promote the Democratic message more effectively with a personal story or example that highlights our position. It s the same with children s health, job creation, or any other issue.
