I hope they make more money than they did as teachers. It is one of the hardest jobs on the planet and gets very little respect from the average American. Teachers are not over educated, underpaid baby sitters! I hope these educators will educate the public on how to be good citizens and add few civics lessons as well.

We win when we vote. It wasn't hard. We won ALL this by getting off our keisters(sp) and voting.Less time than it takes most of us to get a hamburger...through the drive-thru. It's so easy. I've voted absentee so long it's just a foregone conclusion to vote. All the new voters...WELCOME! That wasn't so bad was it? We can win this whole deal if we keep our heads together. Couple more cycles and skies the limit. It's THAT close. Polyanna? Maybe. But, why not if we continue to win?
Imagine if they keep having to count the votes right? Imagine what those UN-GERRYMANDERED states are going to look like when people vote fairly?? We are on the crest of something very doable. Can we please really ACHIEVE some stuff this congress? Investigate, and legislate. Walk and chew gum. Give good reason everyday until the next election, for even more people to sign on to our program.
It is SO possible to get everything we want, and a govt that is so rigorous and functional. Taking PRIDE and being honorable in the endeavor to make everyones lives better. Utopian thinking? Probably. But, when good people win, good things happen. We have everything we need and it can be the time things change so much it'll make global history.
Let's give results now so the next election, will be another giant leap forward. No more suppression. One man, one vote. Let the chips fall where they may..and be ready with good plans for moving forward.
We need infrastructure like emerging economies. We need healthy people. We need fairness in wages. We need to start loving each other because we are ALL doing better. When we are content in our lives, hatred towards an imagined foe, gets expensive and fades away.
We showed we can motivate voters. The results are spectacular. Congratulations Democrats. Enjoy your weekend.
Imagine the change you want to see.
