Is this the way to honor Chisholm and Matsui?
I shouldn't read such stuff first thing in the morning, but I did, so now you are stuck reading my disgust.

The DNC homepage STILL has the tired stuff from a month ago and has added McAuliffe's statements about the deaths of Shirley Chisholm and Robert Matsui. That's okay, of course they should do so, but:

Wouldn't it be better to be out there fighting the good fights these people carried on in their political lives?

Where's the outrage of the rape and eventual murder of Social Security? Party statements on Alberto Gonzales? Outrage over the 11th hour Friday sneaky legislation (even the Libertarians are up in arms over this--and organizing protests, for pity's sake)?

Is there anyone "in" in the party on the boards? Is there something about Party operations that I'm missing? I'm not ready to give up on my party; I really want to see it succeed.

Sigh. Thanks for listening, I feel a bit better now.

1. learn the skills necessary to effectively talk to people and get them to
vote..

learn the "skillful means" to positively touch peoples lives like they did... that is what changes things.

our government has been overthrown by the NEOCON's, there are no longer checks and balances.. the supreme Court is to be taken over by a judge who is justifying a state Christian religion by saying that separation of Church and state didn't save the victims of the Holocaust.

now logic like that can be twisted to justify different treatment of non followers of the state religion..

someone needs their medication adjusted...
