Before you posted here - did you e-mail the White House?

Don't expect a personal response, but do your part to give some feed back. For example, if enough people call on Obama to name names regarding the impasse in FAA funding, maybe he'll start naming names.

1. Well, no, because you were not here to tell me what to do, to instruct & guide me. n/t

[tblue]

2. The last time Obama listened to me was...???

Hasn't happened yet, but I think I will do it now because what the hell?

3. HONESTLY, do you believe that would do ANY good? ANY AT ALL?

I don't. No one is listening. And no one gives a fuck.

Our "leaders" do what they're going to do, ram it down our throats and tell us to like it. Then put on a fucking pageant every 4 years to provide the illusion of a choice, some control of our destiny.

It took me a while, but I eventually woke up and no longer waste my time complaining to people who aren't where they are to represent me... but to fuck me over and take from the poor to feed the gluttonous rich.

4. So, if our leaders are all out to do us evil, what's the point of DU?

If nothing we do can provoke change, DU is nothing but a mutual gripe fest.

5. That's the left today

we'd rather sit around post on blog,etc nodding agreement about how articles or speeches we like "speaks truth to power. But getting off our ass and do real work? It's a waste of time.

6. Well I worked hard for Obama last time and contributed financially.

Now where has that got me? It's probably no better than Republican light.

7. Yep. Much easier to sit back and do nothing and that's

exactly what the right/fringe wants.

8. I can't tell you the number of times I emailed at the White House. They aren't listen.
