The Republicans need to work on registration and getting out their vote and their early voters and absentees. Grassroots stuff.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want to step up our voter-registration activities. Not every branch does it, and not all the time. I want them to go back and get out the vote because I want us to have a big impact on the Congressional elections this year.
The Republicans have kind of painted themselves into a kind of a real demographic corner, if you will.
We're doing exactly what the Republicans don't want: getting more people involved in our democracy. Giving more Americans a voice in their future.
If Republicans want to bring these things up for a vote, I'm letting them know where I stand.
Young Republicans are a very, very important constituency. Along with little old ladies, they provide the foot soldiers for the Republican Party.
Pretty much all I say politically is I encourage people to register to vote.
What Republicans need to do is to go back to their roots - starting with Lincoln - and remind the nation that they are the party of national growth, racial equality and unity of purpose. These Lincolnian themes will serve Republicans - and the nation - much better than becoming the party on the lookout for the supposed rat head of higher taxes.
Democrats need an organizer who will energize the grass-roots across this country to build the party from the bottom up.
Because Republicans have no ideas, they want to turn elections into the battle of dollars.
Registering people to vote is not partisan activity.
