no on EVERYTHING. Think about it, a vote yes will not change the outcome, neither will a vote yes but we then can use the arguement: Do not blame us! We did not vote for it. :)

1. I had the same idea myself back in November but have been talked out of it
Apparently, being "obstructionist" is a meme the Repugs are already trying to use against us.

2. I always like to use the like "AND? so what if we are voting no
does that mean stuff is not going to get passed?" UM NO BECAUSE WE DO NOT CONTROL ANYTHING SO WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

3. Maybe we can reframe the meme
so that 'obstructionist' is a good thing.

Remember the Obstructionists of 2004 who tried to save the Union from financial and moral disaster? They put the brakes on the neocon train. What heroes they were: Boxer, Dayton, Byrd. Wonder if we will have Obstructionists like those were in our age....
