Will you vote for a Congress in 2016 which will support the next Dem President?

In the absence of working for legislators who support a lliberal agenda, it will not matter who heads the ticket for the executive. You can't expect one person to do all the lifting. Let's elect a working Congress while we are atvit.

floating around GD today. Premature to be sure and pointless if not taking Congressional seats into account. Agree that people should be focusing on the election at hand.

Right now, nothing is more important than the 2014 elections. I can't find any argument to the contrary that makes any sense at all.

Always have, always will.
I am lucky I live in CT in that regard. Lots of good progressives, many who have helped this President with his agenda.

I'll vote to keep and improve that Congress in 2018. And 2020. And 2022.

This is an incredibly easy pledge, really.
