issues. Tell voters the solution is in sending Democrats to Congress so we have the votes. When you bring a bill up and know you are going to lose...what is the point? And it is discouraging. Some voters need to understand we need bigger majorities to address their needs and if they want significant change, they must vote for Democrats. Fuck make up a contract with America... as the GOP ass-hats did...tell voters what we can do if we have enough warm Democratic bodies in Congress.
