This is the second diary in the People Power series - you'll find the first diary here.
Scrutinizing, analyzing and debating future scenarios are an essential part of the process of determining where the Democratic Party went wrong in 2014 and where it is today. But it doesn't end there. The objective now is how we get it to where we want it to be so that there really are more and better Democrats elected. We have been political analysts, now we need to take action and be political strategists.
The People Power Project Phase One looks at how we can effect change at the grassroots level. This is essential. Sound and long-lasting constructs of success depend upon strengthening the foundations of any great endeavor - and this is a great endeavor. We need to have active Democratic branches in every one of the 192,000 precincts across the USA. Phase One is the 192000 precinct plan.
I'm not the first to recognize this nor will I be the last. What I seek to do in Phase One is to draw together various ideas into one multi-faceted action plan that embraces as many people as possible at the local level. After all, here is where the voters reside and, come election time, we need them on our side most of all.
