5. He knows if the people lead, the 'leaders' will follow. He is inspiring the people to lead.
He is providing help for the people to find their voice and bloody well raise hell with anyone on the Hill who is using obstructionist tactics for partisan motives instead of doing the job of governing the nation for the best interests of the nation's people!

He understands power. The GOP just understands kissing corporate ass in hopes $ will 'trickle down' just to them.

I am LOVING the President's methods! Keep inspiring and empowering We The People! We have the numbers and we have more in common with each other than with the 1%ers. Time to make that common knowledge, stop letting the 1% pit us against each other and get serious about addressing the roots of our economic disaster!

In the immortal words of a mess of DUers:
Call Congress right now!!!!1!11 ;)

Flood the switchboards! Knock down the web sites with the shear force of numbers of contacts. Let them know we DEMAND real stimulus and WE are America.

Damn the GOP! full spead ahead

PS I love the web site where people can ask if particular programs are really doing the job! Time to take cheney's brain child of having Americans spy on each other and morph it into Americans being actively involved in OVERSIGHT!

Yes! :woohoo:

13. To hell with her! Vote it up and down and let her and other Republicans filibuster against it
Edited on Mon Feb-09-09 02:13 PM by Better Believe It
The filibuster will be broken unless the Democratic Senators engage in an unconditional surrender to the Republican minority.
