		21st Century Democrats was founded as a PAC in 1985 by Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, Representative Dale Evans of Illinois, and Jim Hightower of Texas - the populist organizer, columnist, author, and Texas Ag Commissioner from 1982-1991.

	Building the Next Democratic Majority by Al From & Will Marshall (printable version)
		For Democrats the choice is clear: to offer paeans to a bygone time or to be the party that makes this New Economy work for all Americans willing to do their part.
		To win in the next century, Democrats must link the aspirations of working Americans who most fear the New Economy to those of wired workers and the burgeoning Learning Class who are prospering in it.
		At the state and local level, Democrats must see that the key is a bottom-up empowerment agenda that reconnects cities to markets, creates growth boundaries to limit sprawl, and works through community institutions not public bureaucracies.

	How Democrats Can Win When Republicans Don't Self Destruct
		In the 21st century, Democrats lost three important elections because many voters cannot support a national leadership that appears insensitive to the issue of abortion.
		Democrats who object on moral grounds to civilian casualties in war and terrorism, and some or all instances of the death penalty, should have no trouble adding abortion for birth control to the list.
		The only significant difference that can remain between Democrats and mainstream Republicans on abortion is that Democrats would not make additional laws to regulate what medical procedures a woman may choose for her own body.
