Reply #17: When America starts ELECTING them, that's when. [View All]

If you don't demand a progressive representative, you aren't going to get one.

The time to start is a year or so before the PRIMARY.

It takes hard work and commitment and, of course, a good candidate. Unfortunately, for one Wellstone there are a thousand Santorums.

The fault is not just with the corporations who bribe and control the Congress, it's also with OURSELVES. We can't blame Obama--we have to look at our Senators and Representatives, and if they are rightwing crazies or guys who started out "average" but are now millionaires, it's pretty clear that they're in the wrong line of work. They need to be replaced. We The People, at the local level, need to get off our collective asses and do just that.

And anyone who thinks the Supremes don't matter? They'll really have something to cry about if we don't keep the WH a "D" zone.
