Time to hammer that damned Republican congress for all of its obstructionism, using specific examples. Time to let America know the sheer number of laws they have not allowed to be brought to the floor for debate let alone for a vote. A mashup of Boehner/Cantor/Ryan whining excuses to serve as a chorus for the list. What the GOP says "NO" to....damn list them out. Access to affordable healthcare, repairing of infrastructure (jobs), the jobs bill (jobs), affordable and realistic public education (jobs), an updated electrical grid (jobs), repaired and functional transportation system (more jobs), etc. Time for civic lessons for the public as to why these things are not there--why your legislature doesn't work.

The question is now "are you better off now?" but "what kind of American dream do you want?".
