please, don't be. We can't afford being demoralized. That way leads to paralysis and giving up. Get angry, good and angry, and let that anger motivate you to fight back. We need everyone talking to their friends and families about not just this, but the tax increases on middle-class families the Repubs have pushed on us (to fund a $1.8 billion corporate tax break), the $1 billion taken out of public school funding, restrictions on food assistance and other help, and so on. We can't afford to slow down now because it is going to be so much worse if they keep the House next year.
