I've kinda had it with all of the BS

152. Oh, ye$ it matters-a Lot

The final issue for me was multiple (and not in chronological order) --Restoring sequester cuts to the FAA for their own convenience of flight While ignoring the devastating Cuts to Meals on Wheels, Head Start Cancer Treatment etc--then the gutting of the STOCK Act...Failure to reform the filibuster in 2011, the extension of buschco's tax cuts, the removal of our seat at the table and the Dems failure to push for what we, by apparent majority wanted re" Public Option, then the reauthorization-multiple times-of the PatAct, Fisa/NSA etc, the Cuts to vital programs, the bail out Chained CPI being Offered by Dems--shoot, the list is endless...
It really shouldn't have taken me so long to walk out--but after 54 Years of support, it was a painful decision, none-the-less.

I watched a Great progressive-a Dem-run for Dist House Rep. He went up against a long standing GOP/Tea Bagger type who wants to take Away Oregon's Vote By Mail--due to concerns of the "feeble minded seniors" casting uninformed votes or some bs like that...stated in front of a senior group--as they gasp at his statements...
A guy Who also Supports "Vehicular Stop and Frisk" aka: "Sobriety Checkpoints". But this Dem candidate who would fight to Protect Voting Rights (all civil rights) received No Dem Party Support or Endorsement or Funding--Nothing
He ran a campaign out of his own pocket, less than $2 grand and Still got 31% in his dist. With a little help from his own party? He just might have Won.
I'm willing to guess that your story and mine are Not isolated nor unique.
I don't urge others to Leave the Dem Party--No, I'd like to see the Party Leaderships Challenged on their votes, Hypocrisy-policies-Lets ask them for credible evidence, science that supports their rationale-lets do it publicly-Lets get the conversation out there and as bared to the electorate as the GOP is.
