I would think your platform should appeal strongly to working age adults in your area and be opposed fiercely by CAFO operations and by large land owners via media purchases. Some of your proposals could be the difference between having a decent income and a minimum wage income or having two instead of one income in a family. What portion of your voter base is it possible to contact personally? How close is this area to Tom Folely's old district?

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
