‘We’ll see that day come ‘round!’

There’s an old song that speaks a basic truth about organizing. “One man’s hands,” the song tells us, “can’t tear a prison down.” Nor can two men’s hands.

But listen to the old song’s ringing affirmation: “But if two and two and fifty make a million, we’ll see that day come round!”

In our monthly page 2 column we’ve emphasized again and again the importance of each and every new member we can sign up. And our members are responding. Our membership is now growing at an impressive 250 a year.

Yes, indeed, “two and two” are figuratively beginning to “make fifty.”
In the process, as the song tells us, we’re building a solid base for more explosive growth in the future.

Well, maybe not a million, but for sure in time we can enroll new members in the thousands. Those thousands are out there, and they need our action-oriented, sharp-edged politics.

We simply have to find them, one by one and two by two, and introduce them to The Retiree Advocate and invite them to join us. Every new member has a circle of family and friends in his or her community. That makes every new member a potential organizer. Drop the pebble in the pool, and the circles widen!

And this is how we multiply our strength. This is how “two and two and fifty make a million.” And this is how “we’ll see that day come ‘round!”
