Hi everyone,

Today, I started a petition on Change.org to have election day declared a federal holiday. I did this partly to keep up with the rest of the world, but mostly because of the problems with early/extended voting caused by Republicans determined to keep us from voting and winning.

I would like to promote this. I would love suggestions if you have any. Thanks for all you Kos participants do. You make my morning--every morning. Jane

Advice, please. . .

A little advise here, please. . .I was disturbed this morning when I awoke to find that the Republicans had passed a bill that abandoned the guarantee of Medicare to those 54 and younger. I was both horrified that the Republicans would pass such a thing and offended that they would suggest that those over 55 (including myself) would support--and even vote for--those who propose such a vicious attack, abandoning our brothers and sisters 54 and younger to the snake pit of insurance companies. What can I do to protest this?

Thank you, and peace to you all! Jane

I did not recognize World Vision as primarily religious when I donated to their organization in response to the Haitian disaster some months ago.

After reading Robert Reich's newest economic analysis, I cannot help but come to the conclusion that America is indeed becoming a banana republic in the mold of South American countries like Brazil and Argentina (which, ironically, seem to ameliorating their past bad behaviors).

I am very disappointed with progressives' harsh criticism of President Obama. FOX couldn't be more pleased!

Republicans seem to be more and more distanced from reality. From George Bush, Sr.s marveling at bar code technology to a Nevada senate candidate plea for horse trading with your doctor, we have seen an out of touch romantic unreality not seen since the 19th Century.

Angry, old, southern, white men fearing their loss of power, wanting their "country back." H-m-m-m sounds familiar.

How do the Republicans want to be remembered? As part of the problem or part of the solution?

I was born in 1950 and lived through the Civil Rights era. The demographic of the Tea Parties is that of the KKK--mostly old white men who denied (to a man) that they were racist but were afraid of losing something which they could not name. They lost, but their fear remains, and thus, they reappear under another name.

Yesterday, I saw a retrospective of Cyd Charisse's musical performances and reflected again on the disappearance of America's confidence--not its arrogance, its confidence; not the confidence to guide others but the confidence to be guided by them. When did we stop building our young nation and start protecting our entrenched one?
