Rep. Nancy Pelosi Promises To Overturn 'Citizens United' If We Give Her Back The House

25. Another reason to get out the vote.

I'm not so sure that re-taking the House is so far-fetched. The Republican "revolution" didn't happen because people thought they had such great ideas, and felt the tea-baggers would be great for the country. In 2010, Democrats stayed home. I was as pissed as anyone else here about the constant spinelessness and complete lack of support for Obama's plans after the 2008 election. The only reason I went out in 2010 is that my choice was letting Sharon "2nd Amendment solutions" Angle win Reid's seat, or holding my nose and voting for Reid. He finally seems to have found his spine again, but he should have stepped up 3 years ago, instead of folding every winning hand he was dealt.

This can be done. I've told my students that are old enough to vote this year that I'll give them extra credit for showing me their voter registration card, more for bringing in their "I voted" sticker, and more if they bring in their parents' (signed) sticker. Get out and volunteer, get people registered or to the polls. This can be done, along with an increased majority in the Senate, but we've got to get off our butts.
