I think Congress is absolutely where we should focus laser-like concentration. Now that we have an imperial president (with a extreme fundamentalist waiting in the wings) we have GOT to counterbalance this idiot. Thanks for the link and the encouragement. I have never felt so negative about the fruitfulness of protest in my life. I just don't think this idiot cares one whit about it, we are all just the 'great unwashed' in his eyes.

a couple counties above me. I just did a one-eighty from despair to hope. I hope many more people will enter their email and start working for positive change today

my day looks so much brighter now and it is not even seven yet. I think Obama's presidency proved that we can elect a dem press and end up so mired in the mud because of Congress it is ridiculous.

I think two reps can be out, and I'll personally knock on doors to defeat our sellout GOP Senator.. sells his vote to the highest bidder.

There are 4 Republican Representatives nominated for Cabinet positions. All those districts will have special elections. We could have 4 more Democrats in the House this year.
I am getting to know the Montana Dems who are interested in running and I will do all I can to get her or him elected.

It will be hard. Republicans are evil smart - Democrats need to be conquering smart.
