53. There are a hundred million voters who stay home.
Edited on Sat Oct-18-03 07:28 AM by Mairead
And we know they're leftists rather than rightwingers because of how they survey. They're deeply unhappy with 'the American system' and they want major changes.

Nobody but Dennis and Al are even coming close to offering those major changes. If we can make contact with those people, and convince them that Dennis really is offering some serious change (though his program is actually simple, cautious, and mundane, if you look at it closely), really isn't going to sell out or let them down, and is smart enough not to get wellstoned (Goddess I hope he is!!) ...those people will stand up. Alinsky proved that people stand up when they finally believe that doing so will make a difference. Our task is to convince them of that.
