our elected official's ignored us. The next vote will pass also. We are very hosed. I have no hope. I see no future. There should be hundreds of thousand people in the street today mad as hell protesting. There are a lot of politicians in Washington that need their asses kicked right out in the street for all to see. It's time to get fighting mad. Time for taking the high road and being nice and polite is over.
