33. Politics makes strange bed fellows
The old adage will always ring true. I've often thought of trying to bridge the gap on certain issues both sides certainly agree on--this one being one of them--but how to go about doing it? I would think that a combined effort by both to pressure Congress would ring alarm bells on both sides. A united front against this bill will let memebers on both sides of the aisle know that we--no matter who we vote for--do not want this bill. For this issue--and this one alone--we should at least make an effort to combine forces, because we are all in the same boat whether we admit it or not, and if we don't realize that Congress votes against the interests of regular Americans of all political stripes to benefit their corporate donors, we are in for a world of hurt. Pettiness needs to be cast aside for this issue, because we all will be hurt in the end.
