Reply #5: To answer your questions, We still didn't HAVE enough Votes in Congress to make a difference

If every Democrat shows up to vote in November and we sweep the elections then we have a better chance of making a change. But we WILL need to win by large enough margins to make a difference.

And I didn't make the claim that the Grassroots Movement was liberal. I said the Grassroots Movement was donating MONEY. It doesn't matter to me what the Grassroots wants to label themselves, or if they have progressives/liberals/socialist/_____ involved in the movement. What matters is they are donating MONEY. Money that isn't coming from Corporations.

The upper echelon IS NOT liberal, they are extremely conservative IMO. Way to conservative for me and since they take money from the Corporations then they are beholden to their interests. I have a problem with that. That is one reason B. Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act. He owed them BIG time. That is another reason we are in some of the mess we are in today.
