I have my congresscritters, as well as Pelosi (who seems to be the only one fighting for us some times) part of a regular email group on Thunderbird that I seem to send out messages to weekly.
As for my negativism: I'm the messenger. When Obama says something like "I will increase taxes on those making over $250K a year" and he ends up giving them a big tax break, and despite this he raises taxes on the middle class and poor, I remember what he said and compare it to what he's done. The two don't match up.
This is why I have a hard time buying today's speech. I've seen this movie before, and I know how it ends. And it was this way under Clinton as well.
Maybe you still have hope. I don't. Right now we need someone who can save the human race. And yes, I do mean all of us. The climate is heating up, causing glaciers to melt into the ocean, which in turn changes the temperature of the currents. We have a huge gyre of plastic sitting in the Pacific Ocean, and a smaller on in the Atlantic Ocean. Save the planet? It will be here a long time. The human race? The clock is ticking, and no one is doing anything about it.
