more taken away. Look how well keeping quiet worked out for all of us when the Repubs kept quiet about the Patriot act. Keeping quiet worked well for us Dems with the NDNA also didn't it? The Repubs are shoving our faces in it and for good reason.

When are we going to step up to the plate and do what's morally & constitutionally right for a change. This shouldn't divide us, it should make us stronger. Only YOU can allow division. WE can make the world a better place.
