I have talked to hard core Obama supporters – the ones that spent hundreds if not thousands of hours on his campaign.
I have heard from those who have worked on health care for years.
Labor leaders, progressive activists, everyday citizens.
No one is happy right now. We are getting rolled over by a short white guy who wants to rule the world. Liberman has to be taken out of this equation. And the one person who can do it, Obama, seemingly isn’t up to the task.
Well, folks, I still say – we don’t throw in the towel. Get angry, don’t go home yet.
We have some options but we have to channel our energy and our efforts. Now is the time to really work hard. We can’t have a bill that is going to hurt us more than help us land on Obama’s desk – because he will sign it just to say he has won. I’m not going for that and I bet you aren’t either.
So if you are in Buffalo email me and I will keep you posted on when/where we are meeting to devise a local strategy. If you are somewhere else call those others you know who are pissed and invite them over, figure out what you can do to put pressure on your electeds and on Obama.
This is our moment – we use our anger to create good. Or we go home empty handed and the tea baggers have won. What will it be folks?
