It'll go to the Senate and then the same big money will try to threaten them with loss of office and it's no idle threat, either, when one looks at Wisconsin.

Just as Charles Koch did with Obama in 2012. Just as Grover is threatening for 2014, with Koch money. Obama only has the power of veto and that of the public willing to call every single House and Senate member of both parties and raise hell.

So although it may seem I'm not agreeing with you, what is say is exactly what needs to be done.

Let's post the contact numbers next, make it easier for DUers.
