Yes, We Can - Again!

President Obama's first term was a real struggle, against a hostile House and Senate. Despite that, he managed to get some measures done that will benefit Americans. Other things already have benefited Americans, from families with children over 18 to LGB members of the military.

The slogan in 2008 was Yes, we can! If we can all work together to elect a Congress that will work with the President instead of against him, his second term will be far better for all of us. So, my slogan in 2012 is Yes, We Can - Again!

I'm sure some will disagree with me and continue to snipe at the President while ignoring his accomplishments. To them, I say, Yes, We Can - Again!

similar, his second term will be far better if we can all work together to elect a Congress that will work with him. I think a lot of people are really fed up with the republicans and they have sure shown their true colors over the past three years.

is local, and Senate races are statewide. There's a lot of local activism activities that will help very much.

this from a post yesterday... Tim Wise says it well...

"...In short, if you’re still disappointed in Barack Obama, it’s only because you never understood whose job it was to produce change in the first place..."

I will work for President Obama and support every Democratic Congressperson running
