18. Tom, I will vote for the Democratic candidate and work tirelessly to get Dems elected to Congress.
I want to believe in 2008, just like I wanted to believe in 2006, 2004, 2002 and 2000. And I ask you, what happens in 2008 when we have decided majority in both houses of Congress and the Presidency? Can we expect the un-Patriot Act to be dismantled? Can we expect the Bankruptcy Bill to be gutted? Can we expect immediate action toward universal health care? Can we expect immediate action on ending the bush* Iraq debacle? Can we expect swift and decisive action to outlaw lobbying, lobbyists and corporate bribery? Can we expect to have a rational, in depth discussion about rescinding corporate person-hood? Can we begin to expect national wealth stolen from the nation and given to the wealthy to begin flowing back to the public? Can we expect the tax laws to be changed to NOT FAVOR the rich?

And finally, is 2008 just another carrot dangled in front of the American public to get us to vote? And for that matter, will Congress take action to ensure that ALL VOTES count?
