Orleans County would benefit from more active Democratic Party

I suggest it is time for the Orleans County Democratic Party to become more active.  Summer picnics are nice, but it should use other county Democratic parties as examples and hit the streets.

The Dems should hold rallies in all Orleans towns to make their views known, conduct marches to publicize its agenda and go door to door explaining the party platform.

In essence the Democrats have been doing the same thing election after election and expecting different results. And the results have been a disaster. Could it be time for new leadership with new ideas?
