10. Yes, it's true that Democrats control Congress...

...However, I agree that as Democrats we must hold our elected officials accountable.

The mess we see with all House and Senate members--is because of corporate entrenchment
in our political system.

We Democrats have to hold their feet to the fire. Both parties--and 95 percent of Congressional
members need to be reminded that they serve "We The People" and not BP, and Wall Street
and the energy companies, and big Pharma, and the war machine.

This is a thread about Congress as a whole--with their 11 percent approval rating.

The entire system has failed and America recognizes it. Calling out Dems is not anti-Dem. If our
politicians get off track, it is our duty--as members of a democracy--to force them back on that
track.
