We get emails from lots of groups about the failed Republican agenda (Social Security, Iraq, Medicare), and the weak leadership of the President (Harriet Miers, Katrina, Ports deal) and all of his corrupt friends (Jack Abramoff, Scooter Libby, Jack Boehner) but this weekend we got to wondering, where is the positive agenda?
One place is at www.OurTenWords.com.
This site is dedicated to asking Democrats to submit the ten words they believe best represent the Party’s message. It’s not often young people are asked to offer input on the Party’s message-- take ten minutes and submit your own ten words:

One of the keynote speakers for the upcoming YDA conference in Vegas , Governor Vilsack of Iowa, created this website to get all of us thinking about our hope for America and the Democratic Party. We all know why we are Democrats. As YDA members, we often share the same ideals and values which tie us together. Making sure each of us expresses that and show that young people are leaders in our Party is what OurTenWords.com is about. Take a minute and join the site, offer your own ten words, or simply vote for the entries you like:

The Republicans give us plenty of material to make fun of, in fact we pasted of our favorites below. But the fact is, it is not enough to make fun of the Republicans, we must have a positive agenda if we want to continue to get more young people involved in politics and voting for Democrats.This online community is an innovative way for all of us to get involved and to get our peers involved in creating a positive message. The next five days the OurTenWords.com community will vote on the top 100 entries on OurTenWords.com as we all narrow the submissions down to the final three – I hope we can get some Young Democrats in that group:

Thank you for joining us as we write our Ten Words and as we commit to a positive agenda for the 2006 election cycle. Our peers need to continue to be engaged and encouraged to be part of the Democratic Party, help us do that today by submitting your ten words and by forwarding this to a few of your friends.
Keep it blue,
Chris and Jane
P.S. After you submit your ten words, here are a few new classic Republican videos you've got to watch for a good laugh:
Bush's Nephew the future of the GOP "You Feeling Me"
John Stewart clip about Bush's new chief of staff
a Republican candidate's ad for election- you have got to watch it

It's great to see Young Democratss like ourselves given the opportunity to provide input into the party message. I hope that this goes easier for the YDA than the LCYD T-shirt design went for us.
Of Course, the final product of the LCYD discussions was beautiful. (see previous post for a picture)
Could we post concise excerpts from emails in the future?
We proably should, I looked, there is some way to limit the amount of space allowed for a posting...
But I cannot find it.
