I just filled out the 2010 Presidential Survey sent by the Kaine and the DNC.

By the time I got to the end of it, I was shaking with fury. The DNC just doesn't get it. I tried my best to respond according to the guidelines they set and then blew their rubric out the door. I filled the margins and any available white space with feedback. Including the area around the request for a donation. I'll put a stamp on it because I want them to do something with that money besides pay the postage, and explained why I was withholding a donation at this time. It goes in the mail tomorrow morning. I hope someone has fun trying to code it and that my responses get passed on.

1. Sadly...

...I bet they just toss the responses that don't include a donation. I think those surveys are a scam. I'm probably too cynical.
I hope SOMEONE reads your response, and I hope writing it was cathartic for you, at least. :)

2. It was immensely cathartic

to let Mr. Kaine know that the problems with implementing change/reform is created by many now, that recycling bad incumbents is not the answer, that the President needs to kick some tush on our side, that energy wasted on some of these hound dogs could be better used elsewhere, and that the problems of this nation cannot be ranked when most of them are inter-related.

3. I agree. They don't care for people's opinion, if they did they would have fought for a public

option in HCR

Even now it is all tough talk

They could get rid of the filibuster, do reconcilliation etc

None of that will happen
