All Aboard; The Necessity of Securing Key Partners Aboard the Community Action ‘Train’
A proverbial train’s eventual destination – and exact passenger manifest – are equally
important, as evidenced by the inherent danger of a “train to nowhere” or, even worse, a runaway
train. In fact, in general matters of public policy and community action plans, some grassroots
leaders innovatively and regularly bandy about the catch-phrase, “Let’s just keep the trains
running on time,” i.e., there is a basic, building-block and baseline-success component
incorporated in simply (even simplistically) getting the job done: Above all else, benchmarks
were set, and they were met.
One would hardly expect even partially ameliorating the horrific, oppressive influence and

the homestretch run for Senator Bernie Sanders’ bold Write-In bid pertaining to the November
8th presidential election. Johnson and his radical party colleagues launched Sanders’ Write-In try
early (in mid-March, while the progressive Vermont lawmaker was still earnestly pursuing the
more mainstream Democratic Party nomination), and they are bound and determined not to let
his chances die, at this late date. Despite looming filing requirements and other pressing
paperwork deadlines, Johnson’s party insists Sen. Sanders is a bonafide candidate in seven
targeted states (including “friendly” terrain in Vermont, New Hampshire and Oregon), which
thankfully require no preliminary paperwork to run. Johnson, interestingly enough, insists the
DSP-sponsored Write-In campaign may (legally) proceed fully – “without the consent” of Sen.
