"Keep walking" and Persevere!

Let's face it folks, the Democrats haven't done such a great job of getting their message out there to the American people. It's not their fault entirely, I must place some of the blame on the MSM. The Republicans have a whole network dedicated to spreading their message and attacking their opponents. As much as I despise Faux News and what they stand for, I must admit they have been very successful in helping Republican's by spreading lies and fear.


The elected Democrat's must run on the fact that they have been working for the people, unlike the republican's who have been working for big business. ( Show clip of Barton apologizing to BP) They should ask the American people other than standing on the sidelines, whining, complaining and saying "no" What has the GOP done for them lately? Name one thing they have done to benefit the middle class and poor in this country? Democrat's must tell the American people who will suffer if the republican's take control of the House and the Senate.


* The elderly will suffer, because republican's will try to privatize social security, Medicare and raise the retirement age to 70.

* Gays and lesbians will suffer, because republican's will block the repeal of DADT and DOMA.

* The uninsured will suffer, because republican's will try to dismantle the health care bill that passed.

* Illegal Immigrants will suffer, because republican's will try to repeal the 14th amendment and strip their children who were born in America of their citizenship.

* The unemployed will suffer, because republican's will continue to block their benefits and job creation bills.

* The middle class will suffer, because the republican policies are geared toward creating a two class society ( making the rich, richer and the middle class poor)

It's time for the Democrat's , Liberal's and Independent's to get off their butts and start working. No, things aren't perfect and change may not be happening as soon as some may like... but it's too soon to give up now and too much is at stake to stay home in November.

1. Even if they don't get Social Security privatized, the elderly will suffer and, in some cases,

die, because Medicare reform (for which initial provisions were defined in the "Health" "Care" Affordability Act off 2010 - a national panel to study fraud, waste, and abuse and make recommendations, which Repuglicans have already written legislation to counter) Medicare "reform" will come out of care, in situations that are already chronically and acutely under-staffed, rather than out of CEO salaries and sweetheart deals with vendors.
