Next January, when a Democrat is in the White House,
what will be the best thing for US to do?

Should we work on local causes? Campaign for the environment? Protest the war(s) which will still be going on? Just get on with our lives and be glad someone decent is running the show? Stay online to fight netroots attacks against our President? (That didn't get Bush's team very far...)

I know there's no right answer, but I think today is the day to start thinking about it. We often argue about what our leaders should do. I'm interested to know: what do you think is the best contribution a person (or you yourself) can make once this big bloody battle is finally won?

1. Breathe down the prez's and the Congress' necks ...
to make sure that they carry through with the promises of Democratic reform of the Bushista mess, and that they engage in a new politics.

2. It's true, we do have some power now through the net
and we should conserve it and not become complacent.
