of political thuggery by the Repub Party. The approach has to affect them financially and at the polls with the ballot. Come on DNC. Come up with something that your constituency can get their teeth in and let's not wait forever to do it. Nice little speeches with powerless threats are causing us to lose the battle. We are dealing with people whose main goal is POWER, regardless of the cost. Even if it means putting the country and its people in danger, the Repubs forge ahead voraciously seeking POWER. I fear that lack of a solid action approach will find us all cowering in a corner and wondering how soon they will knock on our doors to march us all off to encampments.
