Many of us share this frustration when our elected Democratic leaders fall short of their campaign promises or our Party’s highest ideals. As has been a mantra of the netroots for some time, the goal is no longer simply electing more Democrats but rather electing better Democrats.
Achieving this means talking to voters, door to door and one at a time, hearing their concerns and engaging with them about the very future of our country. And every single day, with every new voter I speak to, my campaign gains support and builds momentum. That’s how a grassroots campaign works, that’s how we change the direction of a political party and a country, and that’s why I need your support.
Please visit my campaign website and sign up to volunteer. Join our Facebook group and follow our Twitter feed. Invite your friends to do likewise. Of course, with a key fundraising deadline approaching one week from today, I appreciate any financial support you can provide to help our campaign spread this message of electing Democrats who will act like Democrats and fight for working families every single day.
Our campaign will provide voters with a choice: support someone who will fight for working families, or support the status quo. I hope you will make your choice clear by joining our campaign, and I look forward to meeting you out on the trail!

It is a joke that a Congressman like Lynch, who is fortunate enough to have a fairly Democratic district, voted against HCR. Meanwhile Dems like Betsy Markey in tough R territory had to go out on a limb to put it over the finish line. Lynch should be ashamed of himself.

It seems perverse that questioning whether we can afford extending a tax cut is an apostasy against the Democratic Party. These are the Bush tax cuts. Yes, the Democratic Party has pretty consistently promised to keep the tax cut for the middle class, but if we can’t afford it we can’t afford it, and if the Democrats aren’t willing to raise our taxes who will?
<
p>If the only options are “tax cuts for all” and “tax cuts for most” it’ll take a long time to get the budget out of the hole the Bush Administration dug it in. Fighting for the middle class shouldn’t mean protecting them from everything that inconveniences them to the detriment of everything else.

I thought at least some Democrats in the last election would champion the working man. I count two. I hoped for a change in the ways that lower the living standards of the working man. Nada. I believed it possible to bring transparency to government — return the “by the people, for the people.” Ha! Peace? War is peace.

p>And the Democratic voters just march to the same music that they booed when played by the Republican band.

To unseat Lynch. Even tho so many constituents are sick and tired of him.
