Do we have or can we create a thread with facts that support our Democratic position and support of

President Obama that we can use while writing letters to the editor?

I listen to Thom Hartmann via his podcast, and it's always when I'm driving. I hear facts such as "sixty thousand factories have been closed" and "the four people who own Walmart have a combined income greater than the bottom thirty percent of our country" and I remember some of them, but I would love a "database" of sorts that we can easily to go to find facts to use when we're either discussing the upcoming election, debating on a Facebook or e-mail exchange, or, as I said, composing a letter to the editor.

Does such a thread exist? Is it worth it for us to collectively create and add to such a thread for reference? Perhaps I'm the only one who has trouble remembering good, important facts and points.

Thom Hartmann seems to have a million of them.

I am always going to Google to look up such facts.
