Tim Roemer for DNC Chair

DEMOCRACY IN ACTION photo.

"I am more convinced than ever that we are at an historic juncture for our party, and that we must marshal the 'three m’s' of politics – money, message and mechanics – in ways that focus our resources locally, building beyond our traditional base." "As Democrats, if we cannot make Americans feel safe, we will not win elections.  President Truman said that we could build a smarter, tougher national security policy for America and win the Cold War.  He was right, and we should cede no quarter to Republicans on this issue."
