Your mission is to come up with a 2-4 word statement that should (not does) define the Democratic Party's message to the American people. You then need to have 3-5 bullet points that say what your message would do. Nothing can be longer than about one sentence. Only one of them can be negative (like, throw the current guys out!)
Examples:
The New Deal
- Job training
- Job creation through public works
- Social security/welfare net
- Reinvigorate the morale of the American worker/economy
The Great Society
- End racism
- End poverty
- Beat the Ruskies
Contract With America
- Throw out career politicians, replace with term-limited private citizens
- End big government
- Cut taxes
- Give people jobs, not welfare
-----------------------------------
So if you're a democrat (which I am, and I suspect most of my friends here are), what's our message going to be for 2006. I'm not convinced the actual politicians know, at least not in any nice three word phrase which the average voter will comprehend.
