A number of long-time Democrats met at the home of Linda Laird to discuss current issues. As a result several attendees visited the Hutchinson office of Sen-elect/Representative Jerry Moran to voice their concerns. Items addressed included the "Millionaire Bailout"/repeal of DADT/rising costs of health care. Local, state and national officials need to know that we are constituents as well and demand their attention. Actions such as this, writing a letter or making a phone call have an impact. Spurred on by rant radio/FOX and the Tea Party, extremists have used these tactics to make their presence known. It's time for Progressive, Liberal Democrats to take up these tools and learn to use them effectively.
