Here’s my reply to the email I got this morning from info
Dear Senator Schumer –
I do hope this will be helpful.
In the middle of your email, you write: “But resistance alone is not a recipe for progress. We also need a plan to improve the lives of the American people.”
That was exciting to see. I couldn’t agree more. So I clicked on the link to learn about your plan.
What did I find there? No plan. Nothing about what you will do. Just another appeal for money.
I’ve said it before and I fervently hope I don’t keep having to say it. I will only donate again when the Democratic Party commits to real changes and begins to market them well.
We aspire to be a society that prioritizes human flourishing over profit for a tiny minority.
Achieving that requires a theme with a long term program – the equivalent of tax cuts for Republicans.
It requires coordinated marketing to build unstoppable demand and mitigate cultural concerns that now divide us.
Any elected Democratic Party politician who is not committed to that program must be replaced.
Sincerely
And here’s the email from Senator Schumer:
Dear Martin,
It has been six whole months since President Trump took office. Six whole months of hearing the Trump administration claim they would “drain the swamp,” but instead continued the same old Republican agenda where government works for billionaires instead of the rest of us.
Yet, thanks to the activism and acts of resistance of this movement, the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress do not have one major victory on the books. Not a single one. But resistance alone is not a recipe for progress. We also need a plan to improve the lives of the American people.
The truth is Americans deserve higher wages and better jobs, lower costs of living, and a better future to look forward to. President Trump and his corporate cronies promised voters all this and more — but instead he gave Americans a raw deal. Everyday Americans deserve a better deal.
Today, I’m joined by leaders from the House and the Senate in announcing the Democrats’ bold economic plan that works for the middle class. Government should have your back, working for you and the millions of hard-working Americans who make this country what it is. If you believe that Americans deserve a better deal like I do, check out our new site to learn about our plan and add your support.
We have given President Trump and Republicans a chance to lead. We have given them every opportunity to come to the table and work with us to get things done for the American people. They have not done their jobs, and they must be held accountable. It’s time for Americans to demand a better deal.
Thanks for joining me,
Chuck Schumer
Senator Schumer sounds as if he has at last realized a plan is necessary, he even says he has one, but then all he offers is an appeal for money. Please join me in demanding change.
