13. For most of President Obama's 1st two years in office, The Majority Leader's Senate is where bills

from Iron Nancy Pelosi's House went to die. Majority Leader Reid should have reigned in abuse of the fillibuster. The failure to recognise how crazy the Republican Party has become has been a hard thing to fathom for many.

In our Township, a Tea Party loose cannon got elected Road Commissioner. The Township Board of Trustees (I was the Clerk) at first attempted to co-operate with him. The more he got the more demanding he became. It was a long four years of putting out fires, swearing tirades, threats, legal threats, and near fisticuffs, but in the end he was defeated in his re-election bid. And that's what needs to happen. The People have to turn these idiots out of office.

Majority Leader Reid and President Obama are dealing with a faction that has seldom been seen in American politics but as President Obama said, "We are the people we have been waiting for." He and Harry Reid need us to close the deal in 2014.
