Don't forget about the House and Senate this November!
We have a lot of work to do if we want to undo the 12 years of Republican harm.

1. It should be every Democrat's goal to maintain our majority in the House. Learn who the candidates or incumbents running for the House are and remember to vote for them.

2. It should also be the goal of every Democrat for an eventual super-majority in the Senate. Learn who the candidates or incumbents are and vote for them as well.

3. It is because of #2 that we should not have a split ticket of Clinton and Obama. We should not want to win the White House at the expense of the Senate. You can rest assured that McCain won't pick a fellow Senator to run with him. So, no split ticket.

In 2008, the real work to repair our courts, our laws, our institutions, and our nation can truly begin if we get the White House and keep the House and Senate as well.

2. House and Senate would do well to remember the '94 AWB
Edited on Sun May-11-08 04:36 PM by Tejas
and what happened to the majority that signed on to that useless trash.



edit: '94 AWB = the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 = political suicide
