As many of you know or are living through it. Things are not going the way that we thought it would go. The great change that we wanted and expected is going alot slower than many wanted, but the hope for change is not dead and we will as always overcome. We are American's and we will never give up. I have heard alot of pessimistic people on this site, and in some cases they have reason to do so. But I say to you now there will be a better day. Thank you to those who have not given up hope, and best wishes to those who have not the strength to beleive.

Since I seem to have a problem with people comming in the middle, or maybe I do not explain myself completly, which there is a possiblity of that. I will put together my ideas on the topic.
1. Bipartisanship is about talking openly with our opposition about topics that Americans want to come true, And my idea is to have open town hall meetings in every large city to bring both sides together to hear what voters have to say. At the end they can have a closed ballot to see what the public really thinks. this could be scheduled during legislative breaks before the legislation comes up to the floor.
2. Just because we are willing to meet with our opposition and they will not budge does not mean that we will not go forward on a vote we beleive in. To do so would make us look weak and indecisive. Plus if it's that important to the people, we have a resposibility to them.
3. I beleive that Legislation such as the public option should have already been voted on. And that we have already put our hand out on the topic so we should just go back to the original version of the bill and put it too a vote. If the republicans want to fillibuster then they do, but we show the American people that we care about affordable health care and the Republicans don't.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Just go to find people/Recently created/ and personalize your message.
I know that bipartisan talks have gone nowhere, but we must start somewhere otherwise we might loose something bigger than the next election cycle. We must be the ones to extend are hand publicly and with pupose. In fact we must have open forums that will be open to the public. We must put together groups of voters and come up with a consensus on what is important to America and presnt there findings to our waring factions. This is an Idea that I heard from our Democratic Candidate for Governor Keith Allred, I thought this was a great Idea and Keith has made it work with some sucess. Well its just an idea, and we need ideas and action and we need them soon.
Just go to find people, and recently created write a personal message and have a wonderful day.
All I have heard from people the past couple months is people attacking people. I have not heard Ideas I have not heard the calmness in the storm. To be Quite Honest you are quibling like a bunch of Republican's. So Republicans did such and such! So did We. I am tired of hearing the same thing people who have not, or will not take responsibility for what they have done, or hav'nt done. Did you go out and hold your elected representatives feet to the fire. Have you put together Dems to talk to the voters. We need people to open their minds and get proactive, Dems need your ideas and your strength. not your pessimism, apathy, and lackadasical "oh someone is going to do it for me sillyness". The media is saying that we are falling apart, and from some of the posts on this site attacking our own I would say a few of us are. We Can Change this through solidarity. I am only asking you to be strong and put in the work to bring us together again.

All you have to do is go to the recently created section of the find freinds, and give a little message. We could do with a little humanity on this site.
FOR MANY YEARS FACTION HAS TAKEN CONTROL AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING, AND UNFORTUNATELY BOTH SIDES BLAME EACH OTHER. I'M SAYING THE FAULT IS ON BOTH SIDES. CONGRESS REGARDLESS OF DEMOCRATIC OR REPUBLICAN CONTROL ARE A LAUGHING STOCK. THE PEOPLE ARE BECOMMING DISSINTERESTED IN OUR PETTY SQUABLES AND A BAD DAY IS COMMING OUR WAY. STAND FOR THE PEOPLE DO THE RIGHT THING!!.

I beleive and this is only me speaking that company's are holding back on hiring until after the mid-term elections. I remember during the 08 elections commercials with buisness owners saying that they would not hire new employees if Obama was elected, and true to form they have not done so. I remember in the 80's when Regan was in office that all it took was for them to say that the economy was recovering and they were sprinting to hire people. I cannot say that these companies are owned by Republicans, but it is sure strange that the country's economy has grown by 6% and yet buisnessmen and women are not saying we need new people. I would hope that they would put the American people above 6 or 7 U.S. Congressional seats. People are hurting it's time they put people over position.
I am thankful everyday that we have a President that puts our interests over corperations. I wish that Congess would do the same. Sometimes they have to put their reelection hopes over the people.
As you know the mid term election season has begun and your local candidates need your help. I know that many of them have not declared to run yet, but you can definately get signed up with your local Dems office. If you don't think that you have a local Dems office call your state party. There are so many things that can be started now such as phone banks, and data entry. Everything we get done now will save time when we should be doing canvassing and public outreach events. I know that many of you are saying I don't have time for that or I would'nt feel comfortable doing things like that, and I will tell you I use to be that kind of person, and after my campaign experience I will have to say it was one of the best thongs I have ever done, so just think about it.
Have a wonderful day

Passion is a great thing but there is a time to attack and there is a time to plan, and unfortunately this is a time to plan we must work together within our own states to stop the bleeding. Attacking our leaders in a time like this is unwise sure they have let us down and sure they need to sit down with us in town hall meetings so we can tell them what they need to do. But to sit around and throw are hand up and screaming is getting us nowhere. If we do not start getting organized now we will have bigger problems than a couple of naughty conservative democrats to worry about. How about a conservative republican who won't vote for anything you want in any form. DO NOT SIT BACK AND CRY WHOA IS ME, MAKE A PLAN, ORGANIZE, AND ATTACK, WE HAVE COME TOO FAR TO LET IT FALL APART. HIT THE REPUBLICONS WHERE IT REALLY HURTS. WITH THE TRUTH " WE ARE THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE".

Today's Department of Labor jobs report showed that our economy shed 20,000 jobs last month -- down 97 percent from the 779,000 January job losses a year ago. There is still much work ahead, but today's numbers make clear that President Obama's economic policies have brought us back from the brink of disaster and are putting America on the road to economic recovery.

While I may not agree that Obama used our Native American People to get elected, without concern for their wellfare, I will agree that there has been no media coverage of their plight. If any one, single, group deserved to be cared for, I can think of no other more deserving than the American Indians.

It looks like the Supreme Court ruling this past week is going to be talked about for a long time. Democrats and Republicans have commented on it. Barack Obama gave his take on the subject. Congress will be expected to make some big decisions soon. Check out the latest at Michelle Obama blog. Politics are going to take center stage for a long time.
