Videos From 2006 Take Back America Conference

Below Are Videos From the 2006 Take Back America Conference.

A conference more like an unofficial Democratic Party Convention rather than an event for Progressives.

Democrats still have a long way to go in making progress against Republicans.

As I always say...what the country really needs is a 3rd and 4th major political Party. The Democrats are really a temporary solution and not the answer for the country.

For some reason the U.S. (an Imitation Democracy) is afraid of more political Parties. Even Mexico got smart and created more Parties.... in fact, most Democracies in the world have created a 3rd, 4th, or 5th Party when older established Parties fail the public. The U.S. is one of the few nations still stuck in a 2 Party system which only serves the top 5 or 10% of the population considered to be priviledged. This 2 Party system amounts to a dictatorship.

An Independent Centrist Party, A Polulist Party or The Independent Progressive Party sounds great.... but will something like this ever materialize??? I doubt it....It probably won't happen in my lifetime, but I enjoy thinking about the possibilities. A Party like this would be great to keep the Democratic Party honest, while teaming with Democrats (when necessary) to fight crazy Republican policies. A third Party would not have to be large (in terms of Congressional representation) in order to be effective....it only needs to be intelligently placed to give balance to the government. The Green Party in Europe, for example, is an effective small Party.

With the country split basically 50-50 among Republicans and Democrats.... Independents hold a tremendous amount of power in this country....because Independents can determine who wins an election. The problem is, Independents have not organized to harness their power.
