Oh, I didn't mean bluffing that we were going to VOTE for Bernie, only that we were going to be on his side when he keeps telling 'em what they should be doing.

I do like your idea about giving them cover if they do the right thing. (Wow. Does that sound weird to you, too? See how crazy it's gotten?) I think that's what bothers me most about the Obama- and Dem-bashers. They've already left and now they're going to concentrate on making sure we can't win. Seems like we'd be in a better position to get through to the Dems if they consider us allies who won't stop harping until they do what they're supposed to do.

In reply to Stilli, I think we have to

But bluffing seems like game playing, and I have no intention of staying home. Isn't there some way of framing it as "You can do this (fill in the blank.) We'll give you the political cover you need!"

AD, I thank you and Bernie

AD, I thank you and Bernie thanks you. Whatever we can do to keep this going. Amazing how much truth can go into a 90 minute speech.

Done. Thank you, Ramona. Will

Done. Thank you, Ramona. Will also send a copy to my three Virginia federal representatives and the Democratic candidate running to replace the retiring one.

In reply to I signed Bernie's letter,

Stilli, I think we have to make the Dems afraid of losing us come election time. If the best Democrat is an Independent (Sanders) we're in trouble and we have to lay it on the Dems' shoulders. We have to make ourselves be heard, in numbers so vast they can't ignore us. The question is how to do it? Where to start? It could be that a huge fan swarm toward Bernie might get them jealous enough that they'll come a'courting.

But no rash promises, no sweet talk. They're going to have to prove they know what a Democrat is by getting tough, being brave and voting our consciences in the house and senate. Right now they're pathetic and millions of us are ashamed of them. We have to scare 'em silly but it won't be easy. They're only afraid of Republicans. They barely even recognize us.

In reply to Emailing the prez is a great

I signed Bernie's letter, too, and added him as a friend on my FB page, so the few people I'm friends with will see him on my page.

I never get any responses from my e-mails to the President either, but I can't just do nothing, so I keep trying. Whether it's true or not, I like to think they are at least tracking what people think...It's a frustrating thing, Ramona.

This whole thing w/ the repubs is just soooooooo wrong, and it makes me crazy that so many people cannot see it. But at the same time, to see the dems all wimpy and weak-kneed makes me sick to my stomach.

In reply to I e-mailed the President last

Emailing the prez is a great idea. I've done it before with no response so I figured it was a dead-end thing, but it can't hurt. I'll do it, too. They won't follow links or I'd send them the link to Bernie's words. Crazy isn't it that we're torn between wanting congress to do something but if you can't do something then do nothing.

In reply to Stop the Search, Diogenes. We found him. It's Bernie.

I e-mailed the President last night, after seeing portions of Bernie's speech. He said not a single thing I disagreed with.

I was horrified to hear (I don't know if it is accurate) that the President is backing off on the idea of the Bush tax cuts expiring, and my hair caught on fire! I need an explanation.

The CBO said all Congress has to do is NOTHING and the debt problem will go away on its own by the end of 2015. NOTHING! Then let's frickin' do nothing!

Me too. It's one of the few

Me too. It's one of the few I actually read. If you're on Facebook his is a page you might like to "like". (I hate that usage!)

In reply to Yes, you do have to fill in

Ramona, I just got off of the phone with his DC offfice, they tell me the the system is overloaded and to try back in a few hours. If it continues I should call her tomorrow.

I made it clear I and a few others do not like giving our physical address, we dont like the direction of NSA or any of the privacy erosins we.ve been seeing. She then told me it is for private use and I proceeded to tell her unless their system is hacked?

Maybe a fax would overload the system too?

Wow! Maybe we should all send a fax to Boner
