Why be a Democrat?

I've now printed the front cover and the inside page of the proposed voter pamphlet.  The comment I received on taking out the name of the Koch brothers I'm still considering, although my preference is to actually name them and make it more dramatic with the three to two vote.

We will take this to a professional (and union) print shop to do the actual layout, and we will have some graphics.  The whole approach is soft-sell, but we will have the following message on the back page.  We will have "we think" stuck in between the Why and the you in the very first line.

We also left out all kinds of issues, but the ones we included we think the average voter would care about.

Why [we think] you 

should vote 

Democratic:

Social Security and Medicare.  The Democrats want 

to strengthen those programs.  Republicans have 

proposed replacing them with individual retirement 

accounts and private insurance that depend 

on the stock market.

Health Care:  19 million more Americans now 

have health care insurance than before President 

Obama took office.  Republicans in Congress have

voted more than 50 times to repeal the Affordable 

Care Act.

Clean Air and Water:  Democrats favor tough 

laws to preserve our clean air and water.  The 

Republican position is that large corporations 

will protect us.

Education:  A quality education should be available

to all students.

The Economy:  During the Obama presidency, 

unemployment has dropped to under 5%.  We do not

want to return to the economic disaster of the Bush 

years.

This brochure was sponsored by a group of Carbon County 

Democrats who believe that we can make things better.
