Reply #6: I "Hope" He Will Use the "Bully Pulpit"

[The River]

of the Presidency to speak to all Americans about
topics which concern all Americans.

Imagine a "Community Organizer In Chief" with a national megaphone.
Imagine Obama using the Saturday morning radio addresses
the same way FDR did. To inform Americans of the issues,
to ask them to act on behalf of those beliefs and to cheer them on.

Imagine a bill for Single Payer National Health care being
just 3 votes shy of passage. If Obama urged citizens to write
to Senators X, Y & Z to ask them to stop blocking its' passage,
how many millions of faxes and letters might get sent? Enough
to burn out their fax machines and fill their offices?
By 2010 I doubt many "bought and paid for" congress critters
will bother to run again once they realize corporate dollars
can't compete with overwhelming citizen insistence.

Obama supporters have been called a "cult" by many. If it's a
"cult" of participatory democracy, I'm in. I really think this
is what he is talking about when he says the we, the people, have the power.
He could give new meaning to "United We Stand".
