Its August and its time for action.
During the recent debt ceiling debacle, a survey was done and it was found that the Tea Party was more active in calling their representatives than Democrats were. We cannot let that happen again in the most important fight this year - the fight for jobs!
That being said, the President has issued a call to arms:
Voters in Michigan and other states should pressure Congress to pass a federal highway bill, President Obama said Thursday during a speech at a car battery plant in Michigan.
"Tell Congress to get past their differences and send me a road construction bill so that companies can put tens of thousands of people to work building our roads, our bridges, our seaports," Obama told a cheering crowd at the Johnson Controls Inc. advanced battery facility in Holland, Mich.

Just like the Congress, its time for Daily Kos to put aside its differences and tell Congress to act and send this Highway Bill to the President. Go to Town Halls, make phone calls, write emails, tweet, etc.
Some of you are critics of the President, but also support the President. Some of you do not support the President. Some of you, like me,are strong supporters of the President.
I am a strong suppporter because I value his efforts in dealing with some of the worst challenges the country and world has known. Let's all get behind this bill and put pressure on those who are blocking progress in this country. We all know who the people blocking progress are. They are not the Democrats. It's not President Obama. It's the Republican Senators and Congressmen and women!
Time for us to take action or shut up - sadly, the Tea Party has defeated us so far. We cannot let that stand!
