In a campaign memo reviewed by CBS News, Democratic Congressional campaign operatives are encouraging their candidates to focus on a messaging around the concepts of "freedom" to win a series of competitive U.S. House races throughout the nation.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's memo urges a continued focus on the ideas of freedom as a pathway to regaining the majority in the U.S. House, which remains highly competitive in the homestretch to Election Day.

"It is incumbent on House Democrats to focus on calling out GOP attacks on reproductive freedom, economic freedom, and freedom from violence or fear," the memo says. "In public-facing media, both paid and earned, House Democrats and candidates are engaging and energizing voters with messaging that centers on the fight for our freedoms."

The memo includes an array of issues in which such a message has been — and can be — utilized. For example, the memo says "Donald Trump and House Republicans are attacking Americans' freedoms — rolling back reproductive freedoms, banning books in schools, and dictating to people who they are allowed to love or how they can or cannot build a family. These far-right extremists are hellbent on restricting rights and taking away Americans' freedoms."

[speak easy]

1. Freedom to vote - to change the government

to throw out a tired / bad administration.

Easier to understand than 'democracy'.

[Think. Again.]

2. The full power of Congress will be essential to President Harris.

Races are tight in both the House and Senate.

8. When the top candidate

for one party has said that he is not committed to democracy, and there are only two viable parties, then the most important issue up for voting is democracy itself.

10. That was my thought since it was brought up a lot during Democratic convention

11. i would go for "social justice"

justice asks "why is this happening? let me change it!"

when the inequality is so stark, with whites at the top, and blacks and Latinos at the bottom, a social justice revolution is needed!
