A Democratic Strategy for Winning in O8!....

Lewes, DE: A new book, “A Blueprint for Winning:” Taking Back the White House by Les Aaron, a Delaware resident and activist, has just been published by Lulu.Com, the online publishing resource.

According to Mr. Aaron, “the book is not only a resource for election materials and background, it is a guide to action. It begins with a review of the last six years of Republican rule under President Bush and offers some ideas as to why the Democrats have, with the exception of William Jefferson Clinton, faired so badly in getting their candidates elected.” It then proceeds to provide an incisive look at what democrats need to do to win in 2008.

“ In preparing this overview, the author points out, “I decided to view the challenge from many different angles and as a result, probe and discuss the key instruments of developing and maintaining power in a marketplace where people are consumed with earning a living and ignore politics like it’s the plague. The rub is that politics affects all of our lives in deep and meaningful ways and if we don’t become involved, we are likely to face dire consequences as Americans and as concerned citizens who question the fate of the world. ”

The book also spends time responding to what has transpired as policy beginning with a review of the fiasco that was New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. According to the underlying premise, what Katrina does is serve as a kind of wake-up call to this government’s obsession with ‘absolute power’ and contempt for governance that has impacted the economy, jobs, the environment, global warming, our relationships to our allies, our military preparedness, etc.

The author challenges the reader at every turn. “Would the Founding Fathers be proud of what they saw happening in America today? Hardly, he suggests.” Nor is the author inclined to treat democrats with kid gloves; this critique has everyone in the barrel taking responsibility for America’s losing position in the world today, a debtor nation that exports agricultural products and ‘scrap,’ and gross importer of manufactured goods, a Colony that is deeply indebted to Saudi Arabia, England, Japan and China.

The author sees a solution in his Twenty Point Plan for America that takes a zero budget approach to ideation and demands hard answers to tough questions as a precondition to doing what is necessary to return America to its former greatness. Included in this over approach, is a warning that not only do we need to refresh our understanding of what a democracy is and what it represents but we must also ask ourselves whether we are willing to sacrifice our freedoms and liberties for some abstract advantage in the War on Terrorism; furthermore, to assure that our government represents our best interests, we must recommit ourselves to what government is all about and become viscerally and intellectually engaged in the process.

The author, in developing his thesis, discusses the Democratic Party and whether it is still capable of representing some fifty percent of the population who identify with either independent or democratic values. Or whether the grass-roots, so distanced from the process, may feel that the only way it can get its voice heard is through the vehicle of a new, more representative party of the people.

Mr. Aaron has based this overall political tome on twenty years of active behind the scenes participation as an activist and supporter of the democratic party who was first inspired by Roosevelt, Truman and Humphrey and later as a worker for Bobby Kennedy, Mo Udahl, The Rainbow Coalition, Clinton and Al Gore while involved in New York politics.. Most recently, he was a spokesperson for Howard Dean and appointed to John Kerry’s Military Advisers in the state of Delaware. He has also worked at the State level in trying to promote strong candidates at the grass roots and is currently active in environmental issues and alternative energy sources and serves as the Chairman for the Committee for Positive Change.. Formerly, he was the president of four companies where he served as a spokesman for business.
