(1,940 posts)took action, went to Illinois in order to stall the vote. Forget how long they were gone, it was quite a while. I dont think that tactic works in todays situation - repubs now just gonna do what theyre gonna do regardless of rules, law, constitution.
However my point is - I remember one of the Dem senators saying that it was we protestors who inspired them, by our daily constant 24/7 presence in and around the capitol. How theyd be in their office and see so many of us out there circling around the capitol day in and day out. That they would have been unlikely to fight back had we not lit the fire under them to take action. My point is, we have to have their back and it's WE the citizens (including myself) who have to do more than just sitting here typing away at my laptop and criticizing what other people are not doing. I think it was Thom Hartmann who said that leaders dont really lead, they like to get out in front of a parade that is already happening.
