Stop everything, unless it is going to directly help those in the Gulf.
Nothing. Nada. Civil Resistance.
Senate Democrats need to lead and the only way to do it is force the Republicans into action. Rally the American people to hold these idiots to account.
Until this mess is fixed, and these idiots are held accountable nothing gets through. For example.
No John Roberts hearings. Instead hearings into FEMA incompentance. Hold hearings for DHS mismannagement before John Roberts.
No hearings of any sort until there is accountability and action. NOTHING!
No legislation on any matter that does not bring help to the gulf or accountability to the people on what happened.
No Estate Tax repeal. Repeal the give aways to the energy companies and the energy and highway pork.
Repeal of the bankruptcy bill, repeal of tax cuts for the rich.
It is time to reach across the isle with baseball bats to forge working alliances with moderates and shame them into working with us.
The Senate can do this. Reid is the person to lead it, but every Democrat and Moderate Republican should be on the team.
It is time for a political shift, and one won't occur if it is business as ususal. It's time for business UNUSUAL.
Take Action!
