The tables have turned and it's the Fundie authoritarian crowd that's really running the show now, not the old-$$ types. What's terrifying is how, through gerrymandering and obstruction, we are now under minority rule and there dosen't seem to be anything we can do about it. Having a President on our side (most things anyway) means nothing.
2014 is beyond important. We must scream from the rooftops that we must get the States and Congress back. Women's very lives depend on it.
