Take Back The Senate

Think of this website as your own: A place where you can be a part of taking back your Senate in 2006 and fighting to protect your communities; provide everyone with good health care; make America energy independent; restore America’s global strength; secure our retirement and rebuild our economy through innovation and reform. Working together, we can do it. Let’s change the future.

3. This is great! I hope he enters into dialogue with the people

through this blog.

It could be an eye-opener for him if he engages.

He has lots of support but he will get some criticism, too.

In any case, this is a positive move.

4. Lovely!

I can't count how many times I have penned just those words in communications to the good Senator. I'm sure there are countless others that have also done the same thing.

6. I gave him an entry...

Harry,

I hope you will 'give 'em hell'! We need more Democratic leaders who will stand up and tell the unvarnished truth.

I watched as the right-wing smeared honest war heros like John Kerry and Max Clelland (heck, even John McCain!), and I waited for the Democrats to launch into a blistering attack on the countless chickenhawks that didn't have the nerve to defend our country. Yet, the Dems did nothing. And I believe that was the big reason why Kerry lost the 2004 election.

I watched Dick Durban tell the truth about the interrogation of prisoners at Gitmo, only to see him apologize for using the word 'gulag'. He shouldn't have apologized. He should have shoved pictures of the atrocities our soldiers committed into the face of everyone that tried to downplay what he was talking about!

We have to be willing to fight, and if the Republicans want to fight dirty, then we've got to climb down in the mud to knock them down and keep them there!

We need to start championing the causes that we've always stood for: equality, the right to a living wage, the protection of our constitution from religious zealotry.

I'm very afraid for our country. Everyday this administration destroys a little more of the separation between church and state, and eliminates our rights as free citizens.

Please, Harry, give 'em a little hell for me, ok? :) Thanks...
