Up Or Down. - So What Are You Going To Do? - 27 Feb 10
.

Summit is over.

The people of USA voted for Democratic members of Congress and a Democratic President to GOVERN. The members of the Democratic Party have exhausted every possible excuse trying to avoid doing the right thing.

Yes - you are now adults, in charge, and responsible. The Republicant Party cannot be used as cover for Democratic Party not governing. Doing nothing is not an option, never was.

All members of the Democratic Party have run out of excuses. No more half-stepping, no more posturing. No more 'sun was in my eyes and it was too dark to see, the world is flat no body likes me' excuses. Govern already.

Bring the major legislative action on Health Care to an "Up Or Down - Majority Rules" vote. No excuses. Additionally, should any piece of Democratic legislation be threatened with a filibuster by any one, the Democratic Party response MUST be "Majority rules, bring it to the floor. Give the piece of legislation an up or down vote."

'Sh!t or get off the pot' time. Bring on the vote. Vote it up. GOVERN!

Govern and the people will support the leadership. Do nothing and the Democratic Party deserves nothing but the people's scorn.

So what do you do now?

1. The threat of withholding votes isn't enough.
I'd prefer a labor party. But a "None of The Above" Party might get people voting.
