1. Don't hold your breath waiting for this! I hope they do but
heck, what have they been doing since January?

Nothing productive, often very counterproductive.

4. And I'll say it again........
Edited on Wed Aug-26-09 09:51 AM by Clio the Leo
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;



For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.


Let them TRY and stop us now!

6. It's his senate colleagues we need to worry about.
They seem least interested in honoring the legacy of the Liberal Lion

9. Who is with them?
Who will redouble their efforts to pass meaningful legislation? I for one am sick and tired of fear mongers and crap elected officials all playing "small ball" bullshit payola politics. We need to start shouting from the roof tops. Demand these light weights act with courage and earn the title of elected representative of the people.

Yes. We. Can.
