“Democrats need a new attitude and action plan to focus on solving real problems. This attitude and plan must promote a shared national vision to create good jobs and give help to those who work hard, play by the rules and practice self-help. We need to create a new state of mind that--as Americans--we can solve our nation's problems together. Democrats must stop being angst-addicted. We have too often substituted agonizing for action, and it has paralyzed us. To connect with middle-class Americans, we must think clearly and act decisively. Democrats must focus on the day-to-day needs of everyday Americans--their jobs, families and opportunities. We also need to look at our country's long-term needs. We need to generate jobs with pay worth the effort and education. We need to create a national readiness that is based on competence and character.”
