# One Year Until Our Next Elections

I was so distraught at the outcome of the 2010 elections, that I have barely been able to even think about getting active politically again. However, there is so much at stake that I guess it’s time to get busy again.

The Republican Party has lost its way, or perhaps its collective mind and has been hijacked by the Tea Party, which is very much out of sync with the majority of Americans and suffering from too much of the Rush Limbaugh Kool-Aid. Propaganda and intransigence are not substitutes for facts and consensus building in a democracy.

So I intend to get back to work again, writing more frequently, focusing on finding expressive language to explain what I believe is really going on and trying to frame discussion according to my own perspective. In addition, I have invited a friend, Bryan Schefman, to submit his very clear and articluate thoughts several times a week. Democtrats STILL need help framing issues and developing powerful labels and talking points.

Hopefully, we can add something to the conversation and move the dialog forward.
