concerted effort to inform the people of the Republicans successful attempt to block everything that President Obama has tried to do. Just look at this congressional rating from Real Clear Politics.

Republicans are winning by .5 Now how in the HELL can that be if people in the United States knew what they were doing these last 4 years? How could Paul Ryan be leading the incumbent Ron Zerban when he espouses Ayn Rand's theory of greed is good and writes a budget that cuts funding for all good services and gives tax breaks to the very wealthy?
The problem is there is no good concise, easy to read distribution of what these Republicans do. What should there be? A Republican quarterly? A Republican handout? That explains what exactly they are doing to the average Joe?
I don't know, but I know low information voters are what caused the majority in congress last time and what will probably still cause it this time. Because people vote with their guts and not with their heads. We need to learn to teach people how to vote with their heads. The easy way.

Don't fret it anyway. There are too many reasons to believe that Obama is a shoe in and congress will be a democratic majority.
Keep your hopes up. I think you will be happy with the outcome.
