What's On Our Minds for January 26, 2023

These were the things on our minds this morning:

  • We heard consensus around the idea that Democrats need to talk more and with more confidence about what’s been going well in our country lately – about the good things we accomplish when we are in power. A couple of people mentioned that they often find the issues that need to be repeated widely in Jessica Craven’s Chop Wood, Carry Water and in Simon Rosenburg’s Getting Louder.

  • We heard hope and curiosity about working with the Rural Organizing Project. One of their leaders will be in Tillamook this afternoon.

  • We heard admiration for Jim Heffernan’s most recent letter to the editor of the Daily Astorian (Essential), about the rights that FDR suggested we recognize four ourselves in his last State of the Union speech. You can read it at https://www.dailyastorian.com/opinion/letters/letter-essential/article_adfc68be-9a9f-11ed-84a1-c7bc8b1ab27e.html. What do you think? Do you consider these to be rights you should have? Should others have them too?
