It's time the Dems boycotted the House of Representatives!
Just emailed Nancy Pelosi. If the Repugs will not allow Dems to offer amendments, constantly cut off debate, hold votes open, when will the Dems just walk out? If the Repugs don't need them, then leave. Let the American people see who's making the laws and who's bankrupting the middle class. I don't care if it's illegal, let them arrest them all.

1. Trust me, I have had enough to semi-endorse this...
I honestly believe that it would be counterproductive.

SOMETHING needs to be done, however...

2. I agree
In other nations, when the ruling party is out of hand the opposition boycotts the legislature. I think it's time we send a message to them.

3. That's what the Killer D's did in Texas when Perry tried to push
through the illegal redistricting

4. Yeah, and..
The Repugs had them all declared enemy combatants and returned to Texas, IN HANDCUFFS, by agents from homeland security and the FBI. They sent a message, which was intercepted and burned before the eyes of the recipient.

5. So what. Let them make news. Do they or do they not have the
balls to stand up for what they believe in?
