What do you call ‘reasonable steps’? I see Tea Parties and voter turnout ousting the old guard Dems. And a fed up country. We’ll see in November if we haven’t taken reasonable steps.
I’ve relayed many such steps here on FR last year, so I won’t bother going through that again. And yes, many are fed up & continue to use the old tactics (email, fax, rally, call) even though all things changed on 11/4/08. The administration is counting on the citizenry to continue those using those tactics - they are so easy to ignore.
I do expect that the GOP will obtain a majority in the House in Nov. However, none of that really matters to a president who will use any means to advance his agenda - regardless of what the people think.
