It's time to step up and thank the Senate Majority Leader!

[AAO]

I've taken every opportunity in the past to lambaste Senator Reid when I though he failed us in the past, so now it's only fair to thank him for what he did today!

And for ENCOURAGEMENT to continue to play hardball with the turtle and the teabaggers (why does that remind me of a Cat Stevens album?).

Leave him a message:

1. I will do that right now.

2. Thank you. Just did. And my own Senator as well.

They need to know we are behind them.

3. But don't be in a hurry to thank him.

Sorry to say that Reid took his time to finally get here.

How many good nominees have we lost over the past five-plus years while Sen. Reid took his time to figure out what the Repuglicans were doing?

[AAO]

10. I think the encouragment is critical at this juncture. No time like RIGHT NOW!

5. Hear, hear!

Thank you, Majority Leader Reid.

7. Thanks Senator, I have supported you for years.

Reid has been fighting the Republican obstructionists the whole time, and he is as tough as f'ing nails. IMO 99% of lambasting during the past 5 years has been completely uncalled for. Soft-spoken-ness does not indicate weakness.

So, thank you Senator Reid for not being anything like the impossible strawman that the purists have created for you over the years. Keep up the great work!

[AAO]

11. Not only that but he said before that he didn't have the votes, and he didn't.

As soon as he got enough dems to help load the FATBOY, he dropped it with little fanfare.

Give 'em hell, Harry!

8. Thank you, Senator Reid!

9. Yeah thanks for waiting far far far too long for doing this. Now retire and put somebody

with some drive and progressive values in charge.

12. Then you don't know anything about Harry Reid.

14. Rachel Maddow

Harry Reid told Rachel Maddow I think a week or so ago he was going to do this. So he has been true to his word.

17. I was one of the ones saying "I'll believe it when I see it".

I believe it now and have thanked the good Senator from NV.

Welcome to DU!

Huge thanks to Sen. Reid and the senators who supported this change!
