PPTS 2018-09 Which Is It? Women Democrats or Smarter, Dedicated Legislators?

Special elections thus far have forecast a power shuffle in American politics. Given that some Governors (Walker in Wisconsin, for instance) are "foregoing" special elections to avoid losing dependable Republican seats to the Democrats, and some very special situations right now in Arizona and Texas, for instance--not to mention our home here in Tennessee, it seems that at least minimally aware politicians are feeling the tsunami coming.

Many of those running (as mostly Democrats) are women. This is seen by the electorate as a two-stroke power grab. The conversation ranges from "Throw da bums out!" to "We need more women in Congress!". But is that actually true? Think about it.

What we need are loyal, dedicated, committed and empowered legislators who will be from the Democratic wing of the Democratic party in my view. If we take back the Congress, yet have zero plan or ability to return American democracy, we very simply will not do so. That is, to me a much more important issue facing our nation than the impeachment of the current "President". From the Court House to the White House, and beyond, district boundaries, election security, and a whole host of important issues facting the American citizen lie in the wings begging for solutions, not talk.

What are the issues that YOU care most about? What do YOU see the solution as being (not the talk around the problem)? Join us, and let's DO something about it. Today.

We're on the air! We'll see YOU there!

For the entire team,
