I have read the words in this headline on this site many times as an excuse for not voting. I have read the pontifications about how both sides are just represent a corporate kleptocracy, and it didn't matter who won.
Do you people GET it now? You're wrong! There is a HUGE difference between Rethugs and Dems. And it has meaning to the real lives of the real people you proclaim your concern about. Bottom line: wake up, and next election, please don't mumble this falsehood again.
Probably doesn't need a recap, but -- let's recap the first month of Rethug governance:
1. An attack on a woman's right to choose. Attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. In one state, a call for womb police to conduct investigations to determine if a miscarriage was a natural event.
2. An assault on unions: Wisconsin, Ohio, etc.
3. An assault on healthcare -- voting down HCR, trying to defund it, etc.
4. An Assault on Government -- threatening to shut down the government if they don't get their draconian cuts.
5. An assault on the poor -- attempts to cut funding for programs that benefit poor mothers and children.
6. An assault on education.
7. An assault on information 0-- PBS, etc.
8. An assault on Social Security.
9. Calls for violence.
This is in 30 days!! Do you people GET it? Do you understand that what these evil people want is to destroy the poor, to take control of the world, to loot the country?
Do you see democrats fleeing states to help union? Do you see fighting on the floor of the house by Democrats to end the assault on women? Do you see dems in the Senate throwing down the gauntlet on SSI?
I know there are going to be some who read this and cannot possibly admit that there beliefs are not reflected in reality.
But for those who can hear, and those who can see -- join the fight with the people who are fighting.
