106. If we were winning right now, we would not be down on the party
Most of us agree that this election was stolen. So, our party is much more successful than everyone seems to be thinking on this thread. The problem is in the vote counters. I do think some action must be taken to shock the system and get some kind of action, so, I will throw this out there.

We declare to the dems in congress that we will not only NOT vote for them in the next election, but will vote republican until there is a paper trail and a set of consistent rules and regulations that govern voting in all states. Yes, this means most dems will lose, but what are we getting now if not total inaction. Since the whole country will know that this is a protest vote, perhaps they will look honestly at the system. Better still, maybe we should all vote green in protest. I know I would gag voting republican, so maybe this is a good alternative. If we sign petitions in great numbers to vow no vote from the progressive base until this is done, maybe we will get somewhere. We sure as Hell are getting nowhere now.

I love the idea of walking out on the SOTU address. I just wish I could believe they would actually do it. Maybe the above petition should request that walk out also. If enough of us joined together I think we could stick a pin in their asses and cause a reaction.
