| The Franklin Roosevelt Legacy Democratic Club is an outgrowth of the ongoing development and growing influence of the LaRouche Youth Movement. We are dedicated to the promotion of the "General Welfare," an idea referenced as a founding principle of the United States in the Preamble to this nation's Constitution. It was a principle that guided Franklin Roosevelt's administration up to and through his Presidency during the Great Depression, and later, during World War II. FDR's example of leadership is a basis for the creation of a youth movement that has been increasingly active in global politics over the last four years, and has now emerged as a dominant grass-roots organizing force in the Democratic Party. This youth movement is officially recognized in the California Democratic Party as the Franklin Roosevelt Legacy Democratic Club. The kind of political activity and policy shaping generated from within our walls, posed against the last thirty-odd years of Democratic Party policy, provides voters, and political thinkers in general, with a fresh insight and a new channel into creating change.
We hold monthly meetings to generate increasingly more potent activity from the "unmotivated voters." What we've found is that putting forward a viable domestic and foreign policy to deal with the so-called "local" problems is what motivates voters and political activity in general. The major focus of our efforts has been the youth and the actual party layers, and the lower 80% of family income brackets as a whole.
