Don't go down with a whimper.

Stand up for what you believe in. Let people know why you are a Democrat. Let them know if you support the people or the corporations. Let them know if you are on the side of Wall Street or Main Street.

Get up out of your fetal position and stand up like a Democrat.

Tell the truth about the Republicans.

If you have compromised yourself over the years and cannot stand like a true Democrat, then be ready to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye...

1. I have not compromised my values.
Edited on Sun Sep-12-10 05:55 PM by RandomThoughts
Been the same, with same values for years.

Although I have learned alot, mostly that some want to get people to compromise what they think and feel is best, and will use smears, lies, and economic hardship to try to get people to compromise what they think is best.


And I am not going down.

4. Not to get religious or anything but...
...there are a few "Democrats" in Washington that believe they can serve two gods. They can support Big Business and still support the "people". They can support Wall Street and still profess to support Main St. Well, it can't be done. You have to choose which god to serve.

5. yea that make sense.
However that does not mean you have to be poor, or that you have to have no money, there are many people in many places that help many people, and do not compromise their values to do it.


In the same way, I will have money to travel and be around people, but will not do anything to get that against my values or what I think is better. But I will have money, not because it is more important, but to prove it is not more important.

2. I'm not in a fetal position and having been standing tall as a Democrat for 37 years.
The media's attempts at demoralization are not working on me. :)

7. Act locally
You have email. Let your local pols hear from you. Other people are most definitely talking to them. Why aren't we? If you aren't mad enough to complain, you aren't mad enough.

8. Nice assumption that I'm "in the fetal position", preacher.
I'm going down because I DON'T HAVE THE DEMS ON MY SIDE.

9. Andrew Jackson had it right.
"If you're going to go down, take an eye or an ear of your enemy with you so that he will not soon forget you"

11. I stand for freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of people to make choices
Sometimes that is slapped down here, but I won't back down from those ideals.

your body, your choice, is not just good for one topic.
