1. Yeah one look at Bush's budget proposal highlights the need to keep and increase our
majority in Congress. It is something we have to get done also.

2. We have a Congress? I thought we had legislative rubber stampers.
I'd love to elect a Congress. Let's hope we get one someday.

3. Absolutely, elect 435 new congresspersons every two years until we have at least 290 that will
override a president's veto and do the same in the senate until we have 67 senators who will override a veto. IMO if We the People could regain control of the House in the next few elections, the Senate would fall in line and bring a rogue president to heel. I know that's :tinfoilhat: but I can dream can't I!

8. Sorry if I sound like a disillusioned person
but that worked so well in 2006... really If "blue dogs" and DLC are the majority, you will see little change anyway. Yeah, they will throw more bones, but don't expect anything substantial any longer
