Democrats awake


 WAKE UP DEMOCRATS: IT’S TIME.

We have a Democratic Club in Century Village, which is comprised of approximately 200 members. At present, their goal is to support Democratic Candidates and their ideology. While I may agree with their present vision, I disagree with their policy of refusing to be involved in the politics of Century Village.   Politics are not limited to politicians. Politics are used every day by people who seek positions of power.  We use politics in everyday arguments when we negotiate, convince, coerce and influence.  Little children use it when they sheepishly are caught with their hands in the cookie jar and tell their parent, “I didn’t do it." David Israel is a perfect example of such an individual who uses politics to DENY, DENY, DENY.

In the past, the leaders of the Democratic Club have refused to get involved in Century Village Politics. This refusal does not make any sense to me. It reminds me of a well-known leader in the 1930’s who every day fastidiously went out to preach politics, yet he refused to work and earn a living to support his wife and five children: as a result, his family went hungry.

It’s a shame that the leaders of the Democratic Club do not have the wisdom to support politics in  their own home turf of  Century Village,  because they may one day find themselves hungry and out of money.
