what can we do now to support our president

[dcsmart]

i voted for Obama. I campaigned for him: knocked on doors, phone calls, emails, battling with family and coworkers about why he was the best candidate. i had an election day party for poll workers and fellow campaigners. i was involved, day by day, as where many of you i assume. NOW WHAT. besides the activist work i do for health care (HR 676) and the Employee Free Choice Act, i really cannot offer direct support to our president.

this is kind of sicking to sit here and watch the republicans and other conservatives already circling the wagons ready to fight for the GOP blather of small government and more tax cuts trying to stop obama's stimulus plan. i mean, i just realized siting here, this may be naive, but i really do not have anything i can do to support our president. what i was doing for him campaigning was making a difference, but now i'm sitting here watching the white-bread 6 figured(+) republicans talking nonsense and i cannot do a damn thing. sure, i send emails from activist sites and his site supporting him, but what else can i do.
what more can any of us do... is our political control out of our hands now. i know i am not alone. what are all of you doing. . how can we keep the movement, moving. this is crazy. are we really helpless now and at the mercy of our politicians.

i know that if we the people organized and showed up on the white house's front door and asked to talk to our favorite republicans, we would be heard....well, how can progressives and Democrats keep the fire burning. i think i am having post-election withdrawals. post-election stress syndrome....suggestions anyone.

2. We really do have the power.

In numbers. Jesus, we have just witnessed that there is nothing we can't do if we go out there and work for something we believe in. We need to call the Republicans and the Democrats and The White House and let them know exactly who/what we are working for. I think if the Republicans were faced with the threat of all the Obama supporters going out there to campaign against them, they would have second thoughts about the bullshit they are trying to pull right now.

3. Contact gov.org

and tell the president we want more infrastructure and less tax cuts.

Especially those in red states...call your rep and tell them what you want!

4. I know what you mean. I was just sitting here thinking I should send

the repuke senator from this state an email. He's so beloved here it probably wouldn't matter. I feel like I need to do something as well.

5. Get on the phone with your congress critters

I called Cornhole's office last week and told his aide to tell him that I damned well didn't appreciate Corny trying to stifle Eric Holder's confirmation due to Holder's definition of waterboarding as torture. I said that NOBODY is above the law and I fully expected Corny to support any prosecution of the Bush administration should it so be found they broke the law. I just had to add that Corny should ask John McCain if he thought waterboarding was torture.

Be relentless and hold those fuckers' feet to the fire.

6. EDUCATE your puke neighbors

Counter the freep arguments with REALITY. Every time they come up with the boorish nonsense from the likes of O'Loofah and Rush, counter it with FACT.

We've got to get people in this country to start thinking for themselves -- and getting them to realize that acting and being stupid is just what the Wealthy Controllers of this country WANT them to be -- it's so much easier to push people around when they don't take the time to THINK.
