Nancy Pelosi is telling you to sit down and shut up.  

There ya go! Hope folks change things at voting 2010.. We listened to the media too much over the previous eight years.. look where it got us.. (we better at least listen to 'both' sides!)

You do speak up be it to the papers, your rep. the senate it's self we vote them in remind them of that. They may think that they have the power but it is our nation and if everyone sits back and does nothing then it will continue to be pushed to ruin. Tell your rep in no short terms to do what you want or you will not vote for them again. Start up a petition and send it, they might laugh if there is only one threat but get a few hundred and they will change their tune to the one you want.

It is rather chilling.. especially if we know some about history.. it took millenia to stumble into a system of checks and balances upon power, and these days, it's forgotten or never realized.. there's never been a beneficient ruler or king.. human nature doesn't lean that way! That's why solid checks on power and small government is the answer! And state's rights instead of blanket federal gov (big bro is all that is, since the 1st Supreme Court changing of a law).
