(9,313 posts)Write their own ACA replacement billL Medicare for all. Get out there and talk it up. Make the case for electing Dems in two years to get it done.
Write a resolution to create a select committee to investigate the "Russiagate" charges, get every single Dem to co-sponsor it, and get the leadership out there making the case for this single action with a single voice.
Have the leadership start "herding the cats" and get commitments to filibuster Gorsuch, and any other DT SCOTUS nominee (the only exception being if Trump nominates Garland). This was Obama's seat to fill.
The thing is, it is NOT about what they can do for us. It's about proposing REAL change, making the case for it, and calling on us to join them to get it done. The answer to 'you don't have the votes to do xxxx" is "So what? Xxxx will make a REAL difference in the lives of countless Americans, and here's why. Let's make it happen. Elect Dems in 2018."
