1. No, Thank YOU, Mr. President....
Damn....it's looking like it's on now! He's played "Mr. Goody Bipartisan Two Shoes" this whole time to better move his pieces on the board. I kinda thought that was the case. The thing is, with all these conservative jackholes frenzying themselves into a berserker rage, I have to say I am a little worried for him. He's stepping on ALOT of toes, and as much as we'd like to think he's the most powerful man in the country, most everyone here knows that's not the case. And they don't just have republicans in their pockets either...

I don't know, I have to say that I am still too bugged out to come back quite yet. Call me tinfoil hat case all you want, the safest place to be an American is outside of America right now.

God DAMN I hope this dude is legit.

2. Passing the budget will mean passing up the big boys who
have been living high on the hog at the expense of the working class.

6. I've got your back Mr. President!
Whatever I can do to help, I will.

Calling my representatives.

Calling into radio and tv shows.

Writing op/eds and comments to newspapers.

Freeway blogging.

Showing up to protest.

Whatever it takes.

I am there.

8. Me too!
I wrote to my Sens and Rep this a.m. I am not sure of the best way to email support to Obama himself (so many websites!)

Any suggestions.

10. About darn time...
We had a president who is more interested in saving this country than in pillaging the national treasury and transferring wealth to his cronies and network of familial thieves. I think the best way to support our president is to make the lives of our congressional representatives who don't support his efforts, so miserable they'll either succumb or resign. Let's face it, it doesn't matter if they are D's or R's, lobbyists pounding on their doors get their attention. We have to make ourselves more annoying and intimating than lobbyists with checkbooks. By protesting at their homes and offices, showing up at every town hall meeting they attend, coordinating internet messages, and bombarding their offices with phone calls, mail, and email, a message will be sent that the electorate is finally engaged and watching, and woe to the "representatives" who ignore this truth.
