For those who have the time Monday there are people heading to Klobuchar's office

"Concerned Minnesotans who joined millions of other Americans in voting for jobs and not cuts to vital programs and services, will head to Senator Amy Klobuchar’s metro office on Monday, Dec. 10, to get a commitment from her to protect vital programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education and child care from cuts.

The protest will take place as Congress considers ways to move the country forward while avoiding the automatic cuts to services and tax increases known as the “fiscal cliff.” Som
e in Congress are pushing for a budget deal that includes cuts to hospital and nursing home care that Medicare and Medicaid cover, as well as Social Security, education, child care and other programs that Minnesota families count on.

Join us as we ask Senator Klobuchar to stand with working families and all Minnesotans by protecting these vital programs from cuts. Please share with your networks so that we have a good crowd on Monday morning."

I can't go, I have to work though I wish them luck - maybe going in person will help them get a straight answer from someone on her staff. At the least they should explain why Klobuchar didn't add her name to Bernie Sanders' letter.

I really hate that life interferes with important stuff. J/k sort of. But, I really do have to get a good grade on my next test or else.
