"I call upon Democratic and Republican members of Congress"

I call upon Democratic and Republican members of Congress today to uphold your oath of office and defend the Constitution. Stop going along to get along. Start acting like the independent and co-equal branch of government you're supposed to be.
~ Al Gore, January 16, 2006

2. THE most important message was that one to Congress!

Now, WE THE PEOPLE have to make sure Congress heard it.

4. We have to make sure that Congress not only hears it, but that

they act upon it. It is time our constitution is upheld and party politics be damned.

6. If enough Americans tell them they are out on their sorry asses

if they don't act, they might just notice. We The People seem to have had an impact lately. Now is time to press a bit harder ;)
