Just a reminder: We will lose control of Congress unless you do something positive.

[LiberalFighter]

Have you contributed to any Democratic candidates, PACs, or organizations?

Have you volunteered to help any candidate?

Have you volunteered to help the local party?

Have you educated your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers about the issues?

Are you going to vote?

Are you going to help others get their ballots or take them to the polls?

Are you going to write letters to the editor about the issues?

And don't forget that your state legislators need help too. They will control redistricting in most cases for each of the states.

The DLC can go pound sand, as far as I'm concerned.

2. Yep

If we don't bend over on our own, they will bend us over forcefully.

It sure would be nice to have 300 and 61 in congress.

And we would have already but we let the voting machines decide.

5. If we lose Congress it

has nothing to do with your list, it has to do with what they have or have not done. They work for us, they earn the vote and are not entitled to anything. They are the ones who are doing the winning or losing.

9. If we lose Congress,

it has EVERYTHING to do with that list. It has to do with the MIS-PERCEPTIONS that people have about what they have and have not done, and the MIS-PERCEPTION that a
republican would watch out for their best interests better than a Democrat. It is up to US to tell people the correct information.

Even if you don't think the Democrats have done enough, you can't POSSIBLY think that a Republican would do better! Have you not heard about the "enthusiasm" gap? That is what it is all about.

6. I'm supporting. Hope others realize what is at stake and get busy. nt

8. You know for all of this republicon talking point about how their base is "fired up"

and the Democratic base is not excited this year crap, I just wonder how much of that is based on what happened in 1994 then projecting that it will happen again. I may not be excited this year as I was about stopping McLame and moose lady from getting the white house, to be honest anything was better then that and I would have voted for the Devil to keep those two nit wits out of office, but I am still going to vote and I am still going to vote Democratic as I don't want republicons near government offices, even if I know that more then likely the nit wits of my state will be voting republicon because they didn't get their pink pony from government.

Another little grip of mine just happens to be that it's funny how these pee baggers whine and cry about to much government yet when government don't give them what they feel they are entitled to, they whine and cry like big babies. Good lord hypocrites.
