Politics Update
It may appear that I've slacked off on the politics front, but the reality is that I've stopped talking and started doing things about politics. It takes a lot more time to do than it does to talk, but hopefully I will be making some forward progress for our country. Also with the Republicans eliminating the freedom of the press as we speak, the number of stories that are out there are decreasing. So there has been little in the way of positive progress to talk about. I'm having quite a bit of fun working with the Young Democrats, they seem receptive to new ideas. I'm not sure if it will be enough, but at least I'm doing something on the ground to help.
On a larger front of the 50 State Strategy has been an abject failure. We now have 6 unchallenged seats in Republican Controlled Congressional districts. 6 Districts where the enemies of America are allowed to pour their time and resources into undermining our way of life all over the country. The Democrats have broken their own record for the largest number of seats challenged in an election cycle, but it's not enough when they leave these kinds of gapping holes. The notion that Republican hate our country and our way of life still hasn't sunk in at the state level of most Democratic parties is all I can guess. Good news for my parents though, by accident I got in contact with the Director of their Congressional District (I requested that the information be corrected). He had one on the line that bailed on the notion and another that's considering it anonymously currently. I'm not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound good to me. I've offered to blog about whoever they can get on the ballot, but I'm not sure there is much more I can do about it from here.

Republicans eliminate freedom of speech and hate the country?
Really?

The Republican party primary foundations are hate, fear, and greed. I've never heard anything to suggesting that they were going to shift their political views any time soon. And I said freedom of the press. They haven't gotten around the speech yet, but it's on their agenda.
