3. And you know that basic civics about omnibus appropriation bills and veto power is needed.

Some folks go off on a tear from a sensational media story on a vote they don't like, but don't follow up. It's important to visit the page or contact whoever we see in these news stories to find what the final vote tally or amendments to a bill are; if it even passed; and the bigger picture of the larger bill. Rather than expend a lot of energy or get discouraged. The media is expert at breaking our hearts, which serves their owners.

If these bills are not passed, government shuts down totally. Some people forget that is the goal of the GOP and the Tea Party. It really is, they're not kidding. They are constantly blackmailing those who are progressive with their tactics to keep government functioning.

The battle is in our states, and it's not impossible, as the video shows as in the past, we can unite to defeat those who don't believe in equality for all of us. I think the man in the video gave the best analysis of how to do it. Never too late. Never over.
