I agree with Term Limits..

I have seen first hand what unlimited years in office

can and will do to an elected servant. Maybe someone new would be able to

be bought off and the next one groomed and paid for in every election after. IDK

Have we lost all [possibilities to find an honest, loyal, and of moral character candidate

to represent us in these privileged posts? If so what the heck are we doing even trying

now?

There is a large, very large populist movement growing, we are ripe for the picking

and we have had enough!!! If by the time the 2014 and 2016 elections are done, possible before, this Nation,

or maybe I should say the poorer among us, just will not make it.. They have squeezed the life from us already..

Now it's just the short slow death we wait for..

When we don't vote,


not only do we ignore our fundamental RIGHT/ PRIVILEGE to do so,

we loose our FREEDOMS...

Our ancestors fought for the freedom for us to VOTE..

This is a very



excellent thread.. I enjoyed reading every post. I learned so much..
Now go vote 2014!
This
VOTING MATTERS!
February 14, 2014

I agree with you

2014 is critical Extremely critical.. That's not hyperboil either. I am serious..
I push every single day for people to get the hell up off the couch or whatever AND GO VOTE!
Damn! .. Stop bitchin and go vote! btw, your not in the 1% so stop voting like you are!
Voting is fundamental. It is linked to the "freedom" I hear people complain they are loosing....If we don't stop this train wreck, we deserve to have no water.
All I drink is water. I am scared shitless I won't have enough or it will be poisoned. If your not scared then your not paying attention..
As for the First Lady. She is a monster when
it comes to children's future and health.


She has our Presidents ear.. If we can get
her attention on this matter we have more
of a chance to get our POTUS to wake up to
the damage fracking is doing to our planet.
Maybe it is not doable, but we can't just sit idly by and hope for the best. I have a
passion for politics. It is in my blood. I can't
sit by and not try to make a difference. No
one should. I dismiss people who say they
don't care, or especially the one's who don't
vote. Are you kidding me? What the hell is
wrong with them?
I'm not trying to start somehing with anyone here on DU. I am just very concerned about our future and my child's future. All of our children deserve better than this. I will fight till my last breath to leave a better world for her and others. I can only hope I live long enough to see it.
If our President uses the EO to get things rolling in a good direction I am behind him all the way.. I have no problem with "it's unpopular" . I don't care. Just do it! If it's legal, and constitutional it is his duty to use the pen.Go for it!
The ACA you believe is the downfall in 2010? You must believe it will be the downfall in 2014 for Dems. NC hates it? Well Kentucky, Virginia, and NY disagree with your state. I am sure I missed some states that agree with it. It's the law now. What are you going to do about it?
Thanks for the link. I know the comparable number's. I am awake..

Humm,

"no wonder good people don't run for office"
Interesting statement...
We will see 2014 AND 2016!

February 14, 2014

I agree!

How is ignoring something going to make it go away?
Just curious. Are we not to point out bad policy with any POTUS?

WTF!
BTW...I also cheer when I see positive movement from our POTUS!
Be fair and realistic please. Don't ignore bad policy or candidates when we see them.
That's how we got into this mess in the first place!

Also don't ignore the good stuff...
VOTING MATTERS..
2014 GO VOTE!
GOTV

February 14, 2014

Hear hear!

Let's please continue to push for a choice!
Warren! 2016
I believe if we can, and have a very good chance to succeed. The House and Senate will be ours.
Then the shift toward Warren, and other less DLC third way candidates
will become the popular vote. I am sending positive energy around the world...
We can do it!
VOTING MATTERS! as per Cha!

February 14, 2014

I don't see pointing

out bad policy as dismissive of the work our POTUS has done. I see this as

an area we still need to work on. If we ignore this it will continue.
Heads up!
Fracking , simply put, is not good policy. It destroys our environment, causes our water supply to be at risk, and sink holes and earthquakes need attention.
Please don't dismiss the changes we are fighting for. The POTUS has a lot on his plate. Attention to fracking needs to be on that plate please.
