Good morning, THE IMPORTANCE OF PR The Democrats and their agenda suffer from a communications problem. Even when proposing the most laudable of goals, they can’t articulate their objectives clearly and simply. They allow the opposition to define them with pejoratives and to characterize their goals. I’m not suggesting all plans emanating from the left are good. Some are irresponsible, too expensive or have been proven ineffective. And I’m not suggesting that the bills proposed don’t include pork (they do), exposing them to criticism. But there are, buried in the pages and pages of regulations, some fairly simple ideas that should garner universal approval, like “sending every kid to preschool” or “fixing bridges ready to collapse” or “encouraging conservation” or “providing access to basic medical care” or “maintaining our national parks.” These should be the headlines but, alas, they are not.
