The Little Blue Book: The Essential Guide to Thinking and Talking

The indispensable handbook for Democrats

Voters cast their ballots for what they believe is right, for the things that make moral sense. Yet Democrats have too often failed to use language linking their moral values with their policies. The Little Blue Book demonstrates how to make that connection clearly and forcefully, with hands-on advice for discussing the most pressing issues of our time: the economy, health care, women’s issues, energy and environmental policy, education, food policy, and more. Dissecting the ways that extreme conservative positions have permeated political discourse, Lakoff and Wehling show how to fight back on moral grounds and in concrete terms. Revelatory, passionate, and deeply practical, The Little Blue Book will forever alter the way Democrats and progressives think and talk about politics.

After the 2008 Presidential Election, we were all euphoric and exhausted. Many of us felt we deserved a rest.

Then, the Tea Party zealots took governorships, state legislatures and Congress in the 2010 midterm election and began to execute an agenda that weakened the labor movement, stifled women’s rights, and disenfranchised voters everywhere.

Never again! The 2014 mid-term elections must mark the return of a Democratic majority in the US House of Representatives and the election of Progressives at every level of government.

To that end, the Fort Bend County Democratic Party is hosting its 2013 Winter Retreat. We plan to bring together political activists, like you, who have been on the front lines fighting to re-elect President Barack Obama and other candidates who reflect our core Democratic values.

Where: T.E. Harman Center - 226 Matlage Way, Sugar Land, Texas 77478

When: Saturday, February 23, 2013, 9:00am until 2:00pm
