Congress is Back in Town! Cuts on the Table! Guard the women and children!
Seriously, there are posts that talk about it but they are not receiving any attention. This is VITAL STUFF going on today. Cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, farmers are all on the table. Go see:

Kick those posts! Get the word out. Blast Congress and news media. Let's do something useful while we wait on indictments.

2. This is my 'It's Halloween and congress is back' short take
Doom & decline children to devour!

Oh! Beware the bewitching hour!

Dungeons & chains the wretched to lower!
The old & the hobbled no problem, our!

Oh! Beware the bewitching hour!

The earth a lamb for slaughter’s dower!
Altar of sacrifice for mammon’s power!

Oh! Beware the bewitching hour!

Asses & pachyderms in covens glower!
A congress in session in heathen bower!

Ah! Begins the bewitching hour!

3. Good luck
But I think it's going to go just like bankruptcy. They don't care. Not really. Our leaders, that is.

Oh I hope all these mf's lose big time at mid terms. It's all to be hoped for, at this point. Sad but true. The war timetable is based on the timing of the American election, and nothing else. I think they probably want to get this done so hopefully they can disaster-manage make the public forget it by election time.

I just can't believe they're talking cuts, when so many hundreds of thousands of people might be needing more...not less. Bastards. They're just bastards.

4. Are we so exhausted from fighting the bastards
that we are going to stop now?

Now that they are facing indictments?

Now that they are at their lowest polling ever?

Now that the whole country is beginning to see them for what they are?

Now that the press is actually reporting on them just a little?

Now that they are facing re-election from a point so weak they never imagined it.

I just don't think right now is the time to quit.

I think that if a little light can be shone on what they are doing - if the American people are shown just one time how they stick it to us while they are doing it - that the backlash might just finally cometh. My god what have we go to lose?

We can tell our Dem Reps to stand up and make a noise one more time.

We can tell our Rep Reps that we are watching them in terms of 2006.

We can tell the media we know what is going on and we are watching them and they NEED TO REPORT ON IT.

And we can tell our family and contacts about it - tell them to contact their reps. Maybe family and friends will listen to us this time, after all they've learned recently. Now is the time to email all those people on your list. Remind them it will affect their own grandmother in the nursing home (Medicaid pays for most nursing home patients). Their own grandchildren when their child loses their job or gets sent to Iraq (or Iran or Syria). If people know about it they will act. Did you not see what happened with their Social Security scheme?

I know, I know, we've done it all before. So now we know how, right?
We're good at it. And DU is the best.
