A Call To Arms!
If you haven't read Molly Ivins this week, I suggest that you do (respectfully of course!) She writes about the new overtime rules and reminds us that it's still about the issues.

As I read her column, I became keenly aware that the time to shift focus back to the issues was here. Enough back and forth about the SBV liars and lets get back to what's important. This week the new overtime rules came into effect and while the media is focusing on these idiots, many out there will lose their overtime pay. This will devastate many families and it's a no win for Bush-Co.

I heard a quote from Bush yesterday saying we need to focus back on the issues! HA! I say bring it on, let's focus back on the issues. Get back to writing LTTE's, emailing the media and actively point to this issue. He can't win on the issues.

I'm going to work, hope some of you will join me.

You can read Molly Ivins as well as Arianna Huffington (Another goodie) and others at:

Not a single reply. I didn't realize the obsession was this deep!

2. Maybe try a new title

that's a little clearer. I've tried that, and sometimes it helps. However, we are pretty obsessed right now about a few big stories right now.

Once Kerry gets in we'll have plenty of time to work on real issues again.

3. BUT
I think the only way to get in is to talk about the real issues!
