My Commandments:
I fervently want the Democrats in Congress to seize the agenda from the Bushco and the Republicans, stand up and say:
WE SUPPORT THE TROOPS. YOU ARE ALLOWING YOUNG PEOPLE TO BLEED, DIE AND GET MAIMED FOR LIFE FOR TREASONOUS LIES.
Tell the public: The Republicans don't support the troops. They voted that the young men and women fighting and dying for a war based on lies cannot rest between tours of duty. They voted for no body armor, no aftercare, relaxing recruiting standards for the troops so a young person's life may depend on someone with a criminal record or someone who couldn't pass basic training or a basic examination, and many, many evil things.
I want Democrats to put forth powerful legislation exercising their Constitutional prerogatives in the face of a Presidential veto without the overriding votes.
SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE. BE UNITED IN OPPOSITION AGAINST THOSE WHO WOULD EVISCERATE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
Don't do anything complicated that requires watching C-SPAN. Don't wait for the Republicans to frame the agenda. Speak, shout, say something first. Take the initiative.
By the way, what's happening in the House? The Democrats have a slightly better majority there than in the Senate. They can have an up-and-down vote there. What's going on?
