Hey Dems in Senate... How about this???

Why not when a bill hits the floor for supplemental aid to Oklahoma City. have every's Dem. Senator get up in front of the Chamber and give a 60 second scathing indictment of Senators Coburn and Inhofe’s blatantly selfish fucked up reaction to Hurricane Sandy’s relief requests....

Why? Because Democrats refuse to ever show any chops at any time. Nothing but cowards and thats why things never change... Fucking never... How about starting now..

Maybe Elizabeth Warren will do it as she seems to have the only spine left among the Dems in that body...let's ask her to do it...

But since when did “protocol” take precedence over people’s lives?....

At least the House has Sanders and Grayson, Waxman but not much more.
Any others you feel have some Chops? I mean like Grayson’s Rep. Healthcare Plan.

and do it. But so far, only Warren has broken with tradition and introduced her own legislation so early in her career. She's a rule breaker. Women have to be I guess, to get anything DONE.

I hope Dick and Chris will support her to the nth degree!
