Up Or Down. - Bring On The Vote. Govern - 19 Feb 10

Doing nothing is not an option. The Democratic Party has exhausted every possible excuse trying to avoid doing the right thing. The people voted for Democratic members of Congress and a Democratic President to GOVERN.

All members of the Democratic Party have run out of excuses, it is time. No more half-stepping, no more posturing. No more 'sun was in my eyes and it was too dark to see, the world is flat no body likes me' excuses. It is time to begin to govern.

Bring the major legislative action on Health Care to an "Up Or Down" vote. No excuses.

Should any piece of Democratic legislation be threatened with a filibuster, the Democratic Party response MUST be "Bring it to the floor. Give the piece of legislation an up or down vote."

Bring on the vote. Vote it up. Govern!

It is this simple. Govern and the people will support; do nothing and you deserve nothing but scorn.

1. Couldn't agree more

Of course the Dems can't FORCE an up or down vote, but they can simply refuse to move on. If the Repubs want to refuse to allow cloture than we can continue debating whatever bill is before Congress until the cows come home. Insist that a vote be allowed.
