Just Gimme 60!


I know that this will bring about some friction…I will not go to the march.
I don’t agree with it, it’s an effort, time, and money wasting act. I understand that many on the left are “exhausted” or frustrated with the developments of the last two years. I just don’t understand how everything got so far off the path.


I know what you are thinking “we need to do something”, "something" must make sense. Think about it…the Tea Party had a rally. Should we truly mirror them?


I have a lot of respect for what Ed Schultz is doing, but is he doing everything that he can? He was asked to run for office, he declined. He was asked to lead a rally…he signed up for that. So you can’t sell your book if you are running for office? A true patriot would run for office, Ed. He wouldn’t say no to the call from the people.


Political goals start with organizing then act. We have already organized in 2008. We need to just put the troops back out there.
Can’t get everyone inspired?
Here, I will throw you a bone…GIMME 60!


Put the Democrats from the Senate…the ones that support you…in a commercial. Have all of them say GIMME 60! Then have the Boehner clip where he says “HELL NO YOU CANT” Then have Obama with all the candidates behind him say “YES YOU CAN”
Let the commercial end with Obama explaining that he needs 60…YOU NEED 60!
There you have it! See if Karl Rove could beat that!
So the left is angry, so let’s march on Washington. Why? Need inspiration? You have the House, the White House, and you are about 6 Senate seats away from having it your way.
What have you done to get the 6? Have you worked on the goal? This isn’t about our feelings. This is about controlling the process of government. That will not come from a march. You might feel (feelings don’t get you 60) better, but are we losing the point at hand?
Whether people wish to admit it or not, whatever the reasons that you are frustrated, there is one answer for it. You don’t have a true majority. The Senate majority is a falsehood. You don’t have sixty members on your side. There are at least two hundred bills, passed by the house, that are just backlogged in the Senate.
Many people have lost jobs, cars, homes, and some gave up their lives because the environment of our society is horrible. But, this has been oncoming from what you saw before you believed “Yes you can”. I think that you have forgotten that can hasn't happened...yet. The battle for your happiness doesn’t end until you die. Every day, many seek to oppress you so that they may have profit. Do you see Bank of America doing a march?


Why are we trying to spend money, when a vote will do? I like your fire; I just wonder are you burning the wrong side of the candle.

For those that dont know:

60 is the number of Senators needed to stop a filibuster.
