We have so many truly fine representatives

At times I can be guilty of falling into , the Democrats should be doing more, train of thought. Yes I am not happy with the messaging at times, but remember it is rare, very rare for the corporate media to give any airtime to democrats. If you don’t have cable you would think that the democrats never speak to any issue.

At least those of us with internet have access to a plethora of House and Senate representatives who are doing their jobs at a high level. We are fortunate to have so many, that are so qualified on our side.

The majority does not pass a lot of legislation because of these tactics.
