We have to demand more from our party we did not vote for them,

[ej510]

so they could continue to fuck us over. We need to scream louder. We must let them know there will be major repercussions if they do not act in our best interest. They must be held accountable. We must cut the corporate out our party, because it is spreading like a virus or cancer.

1. We need PROGRESSIVE democratic leaders in Congress instead of these

Corporate Conservatives and so called "moderates." :(

[gateley]

2. It'll take $$$ to support them to get their voices heard. It's always the money.

8. Not when we have an educated middle class ... but the power elite is taking care

of THAT in short order. :thumbsdown:

[gateley]

11. But it's buying the air time, the print space, etc., to get his/her name out

there so those educated middle class citizens can become aware and garner their support. And it's my belief that the majority -- or at least a lot -- of middle class citizens don't pay too close attention to what's going on until it nears the time to vote (that's how I used to be) -- and by that point, they choose between the candidates that have essentially been chosen FOR them.

12. The media plays a major role in who we elect to office.

4. We need to replace them with progressives and then introduce lobbying reform,

and campaign finance reform after all we do not want corporate democrats fucking us like Tom Daschle.

3. I went to a Health Care Reform rally last night in Seattle. Rep. Jim McDermott

said there were 2000 going on across the country. I've not see or heard a peep about it -- either locally or nationally.

5. They are peaceful town halls.

You have to act an ass towards democrats to coverage.

[gateley]

6. PatSeg suggested I should have bitten somebody's finger off! :-) nt

[ej510]

7. LMFAO!

[MissDeeds]

9. They are counting on our complacence

We need to be vocal and let them know that no way in hell are they going to steam roll over us with watered down agendas. We turned out in droves, worked our butts off, gave money that some of us didn't have, and bought into the promise of change. Well, damnit, time to get with the program - the Democratic program.

:mad:

[ej510]

10. Lately democratic plan has been the corporate plan.

They throw us a nugget around election time and since the majority of the electorate does not pay attention until election time the general public assumes washington has been at work for them when congress has been working corporations. Those of us who pay attention, have to educate the masses.
