    The Listening Tour

    Look at where they are going to hold these events throughout New York State. All of these organizations are left wing bordering on socialist groups. The common middleclass hardworking conservative Democrats will not go to these locations.

    This shows that they really do not want to hear from a cross section of New yorkers.

    Weak up fellow Democrats they will distroy our party.

    Where is Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Columbia, Rochland, Long Island and Orange Counties on that list. Do the people in these areas count. The areas that pay the highest property Taxes in the United States will not be heard from. Is this the Democratic Party that represents all of the people.

    Albany, is conspiciously missing from the list, is it not!

  4. Y2K

    So is most of the rural and burbs of NYS. The only areas they want to hear from are the areas that do not represent the Democrat Party that I thought I knew. It might be time to vote Independent or Republican. This will the only way the party will truely represent our needs.
