1. When does collapsing our govt become treason?

[Cleita]

2. Obviously never or Dick Cheney and Donald

Rumsfeld would be in Leavenworth along with the rest of their PNAC buddies.

3. New opportunities starting now before the next debate starts for an early 2014 vote.

Democrats and the Administration are in a position, again, to insist that policies and laws such as single payer, return to equitable taxing, and many other polices are put in the national discussion place. The American people are paying attention now. Democrats could start making announcements of policy changes. Democrats could give hope to the American people during the upcoming Holiday Season. Will they rise?

And it is quite unnerving to find this planning document saying verbally and by inference, that it is the policy of the conservative groups being listed, to place an attack on life and religious liberty along with considering the possibility of using congressional lawmakers to shut down the government. They must make a decision to follow the GOP extremists money backers or not. How far Right will they fall? Perhaps they may fall out of their House seat Nov 2014.

4. Right now, the Dems should know they will try this again in Jan & Feb when

the current deal ends.

They need to make this an issue now.

5. The evidence for sedition is in the writing of the plan and its signatories.

I've said before and I'll say again: where are the lawyers. Where is the Attorney General.

6. Certainly looked like an attack on our Democracy.
