There is a hell of a lot going on right now. People are strung out with all of the chaos. It is easy to get distracted on the really BIG picture, November.
The common thread in all of the problems that plague us right now and in the past several years is Republican control of all three branches of the federal government. The one concrete thing that can be done to fix ALL of these problems is to crush these repugs good in the mid-terms. Crush them in historic numbers.
I am not telling anyone what to do so do not jump me with that nonsense (seems like someone gets all huffy and "who the hell are you to tell me what to do?" whenever I post a thread urging of all things focus and unity). I am simply reminding folks that the clock is running faster and faster with each passing day. the election will be here and we will be wondering how it got here so fast.
The ad blitz's and serious campaigning has yet to start. However, we must lay all of the ground work in advance for that kind of push very soon. Do not let the turbulent events currently under way distract you from that greater goal. You can be the enemy is working on it 24 hours a day. Well, the part not actively destroying the world as they fall. they have their hands full. But, believe me, there is a whole division of Bushco dedicated to 24/7 crushing of the left.
That is why we must be 24/7 dedicated to counter and get ahead of their machine. It is gonna take some serious overtime to get that done!
As we spin and twist in the maelstrom, remember the one sure way to make it stop and to restore some sanity is a thorough and complete election ass kicking. Pour your energies into that. Do not be distracted by the tensions and the flame fests. Focus. Good map of the races here:
