Politics - Better World

I received many different reactions from people when they first heard I had won the June primary write-in campaign and would be facing Barbara Lee in November.
As you can imagine, some people were shocked that anyone would challenge the most progressive congressperson in Washington. Others, however, immediately started sharing with me their everyday struggles and challenges that they wanted ME to pressure Barbara Lee about.
Mission accepted. This campaign is all about PRESSURE!

Why was there a New Deal in the Great Depression of the 1930s and none in the Great Recession that started in 2008, the year Obama was elected president?
In the 1930s there were huge organizations that were on the side of regular people. They applied pressure on Franklin Roosevelt (FDR): Socialists, Communists, and growing unions. Since then, decade by decade, the organized groups were systematically beaten down.
