24. Erika, everything you state is a fact.
It does not however address my concerns.

Just look at the number of eligible voters vs. the number of people who vote.

People do feel disenfranchised. The difference between the 2 parties is blurred.

Why did NAFTA pass? People expected the gop to sell out on this. I doubt they'll get spanked too badly for it. Who would have expected 15 Dems to sell out? I didn't.

Why didn't the Dems vote en masse against the Bankruptcy Act?

On what bloody street corners are the Democrats standing and screaming against policies that help employers outsource jobs to china?

Why is Cindy camping out in the texas heat without even ONE Democratic rep out there standing by her? Thanks for the letter of support... but it would have been nice if these leaders (and I commend them for taking the 1st step) stood out there with her. It's not like they are in session right now.

Why didn't EVERY DEM show up for Conyer's DSM hearing?

There were Dems on the intel committee... why weren't they screaming bloody murder en masse at the fudging of facts.

WHY? Because they're too polite? Jaded?

I remember during the Clinton Presidency, Dems would gather on the steps of the Congress and bitch their little hearts out about various issues. Now we get press releases. Not good enough.
