Reply #13: I agree that we spend an awful lot of time hand wringing, when the only thing that works

[FrenchieCat]

is actually "doing" something...like calling and writing to one's rep (whether a D or an R)over and over again, telling them what you want......and also writing the WH, and the media too, cause they ain't innocent in all of this.

As for "legislation that is a sellout", that's quite a broad brush vague description considering that ones rendering that judgement are gonna do "scorn". Plus it appears that "scorn" is being metered out before any bill is even finalized, let alone signed.

My point about this OP is that it posts an article which is nothing but pessimistic hand-wringing.....and what it does, when it is done often enough is provides the basis for self-defeatism for those who thought this would be easy, or those who don't really want it cause they've heard bad things about it, by folks just like them, right here on this site.
