How many times we have spoken or emailed about issues, and all I ever here is "we have no power" and "we can't do anything". Well, with that attitude, I am sure he is right.

This would be a disaster to the Dems. If the Repugs will not step up and own this bill, then it is a fool who will go along with voting for it because they are being "asked to". You are right, in the next election, the will be pinning the higher taxes and fees on the same Democrats that they are trying to woo now.
