I have been shamefully politically inactive. I allowed myself to be lulled into a false belief that since we elected President Obama and since we have a democratic majority in the house and senate that we would have no problem getting the progressive agenda that our President has for us passed. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was not enough to vote for change, now I see that was only the beginning. Now the real fight is happening. We have already lost the battle for a real clean energy bill. What has passed or is about to be passed is a weakened and watered down version of what President Obama envisioned. We can not afford to show such apathy with health care reform.
Please adopt my slogan, "Our choice, our voice!" This simply means that President Obama was our choice for change and now he needs our voice to make it a reality. Please take the time to call or write our members of congress and the senate. It only takes a few minutes to make a world of difference. They know that when you go to the effort of making contact that you mean business! This isn't a democrat, independent or republican issue. This is an American issue.
