November 2014 Elections..
When Democrats vote Democrats win. GOTV will be the biggest challenge facing Democratic candidates.
Unfortunately, American voters are by in large, lazy and only seem to come out for Presidential elections. I have been thinking and thinking of a slogan to appear everywhere, especially on bill boards, that will get the attention of voters. And it would look like this:
Women, men, union members, working poor, unemployed, underpaid, teachers, immigrants...want to be heard?
Then VOTE - Because
"If you are not at the table, then you're on the menu"
What do you think?
= new reply since forum marked as read
get out the vote, in November.

#NotRedOrBlue (Not Red or Blue)
When there is only one party. The bank sponsored party that comes in two flavours. Donkeys ass blue or elephant turd red, who do you vote for? Taste Great or Less Filling? I propose it doesn’t matter…but vote! Not voting declares Red / Blue party the default winner. Just follow one rule. Don’t vote Blue or Red. To be clear I am not saying vote independent. What I am saying is don’t vote Red or Blue. Now voting independent does qualify just to be clear, but so does any party that is neither Banker Red nor Banker Blue. All other colors qualify. If you have an actual party in mind that’s fine but then who? Who cares I say. The statistical probability of getting someone good at a random guess versus the bankers party. With one you have a chance at the dice, go for it 
But how does the message get spread?
A #NotRedOrBlue grass roots party with a very strong online presence. People vote for a candidate per territory. History teaches us with Ralph Nader you need 15% of the popularity poll to be on a televised debate. The number could easily reach 20% considering the banks own the media should this take place.
If 20% of the popularity poll participate in the process of an official #NotRedOrBlue party with registered voters, like any other party alongside with donations to the party and Not candidates. The candidates would use a given budget decided by the party voters. The Budget would be displayed with 100% transparency through the #NotRedOrBlue website. The purpose of each candidate budget would be to invest in budget plans they believed in for their campaign, but not the actual campaign. Donations from corporations could be strictly forbidden.
This party works differently. The campaign is run by the party voters. They set the stage. Rules of the party are set by its registers voters and candidates have absolutely no say.
Candidates focus on plans, policy, and choosing president/vice president. Candidates are strictly forbidden to invest in buttons, posters, media, etc. They are free to speak to as many people as they like of course, but ALL campaigning is managed by the registers voters and NOT candidates. Posters and all.
They are free to choose the own media company but budgets are decided by party voters. Direct donations to any specific candidate is Forbidden.
What kind of stage could the voters set? I would imagine the obvious political debates, but there is an opportunity for real world scenarios test (the 3am call Mr. President). Check for response time, attitude, they should be devil advocate based scenarios. Candidates cannot see the other candidates’ response but perhaps that’s going too far.
