Reply #7: Because of what [View All]

HAVA has wrought, we can't be sure that our votes actually matter anyway.

I think it's time for them to stand up and show us that they're still alive, that we can still count on them to do what is right even if it does look like political suicide. Or course I also advocate for them to exercise the "nuclear option" until and unless the Republicans that have taken (not won) control of the senate are willing to listen to the (so called) minority party and work with them on legislative issues.

It's either take a principled stand for your constituents and show the administration and the rest of the world that all of America isn't on one band wagon, or you roll over and die.
