WHAT SHOULD THE DEMOCRATS DO?

What should the Democrats in Congress do?

1. Introduce a bill every day dedicated to stopping this stupid war in Iraq and exposing the crimes committed by the Bush administration. This includes more bills to give our troops time home between long deployments and maybe even instituting a draft. And calling hearings on how Bush has used secrecy, propaganda and conspiracy to subvert our Democracy, for example by secretly passing laws EXEMPTING THEM FROM PROSECUTION OF CRIMES THEY HAVE COMMITTED!

2. Let the Repubs try to knock these bills down, again and again.

3. Let the Repubs filibuster to their hearts content: let them use that remedy those hypocrites tried to remove when the Dems wanted to use it.

4. THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD SHUT DOWN CONGRESS. WALK OUT. REFUSE TO SHOW UP. MAYBE PASS BILLS CUTTING OFF FUNDING. GIVE THE NYTIMES AND THE WAPO SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT!

5. Demand recorded votes for every bill the Repubs oppose, so the World can see who votes for what.

If a message could be sent to members of Congess it would be:
YOU ARE NOT HELPLESS! YOU ARE NOT POWERLESS! YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SPEAK OUT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO TRY TO SAVE OUR REPUBLIC WHICH IS IN DIRE DISTRESS!
