I hope the Senate debate regarding reforms to protect our soldiers from any sexual assault goes well. The votes are there to pass the Gillibrand amendment and it should be given the dignity of a democratic process.
I hope the US House finds the will to actually pass a Budget with a Debt Ceiling increase, too. They need to concentrate on creating jobs without cutting the national budget. Austerity doesn't work.
And there is an opportunity to turn the 2010 elections around in 2014. The tragedy occurring with Middle Class since 2010 is a crime. It certainly isn't American. So, with 38 states having Gubernatorial elections in 2014, we can turn the assault on the Middle Class around at the state level. I think that is the real challenge of the Democratic Party. The House seats are important, but, until gerrymandering can be overcome there are a few seats that are sincerely available for Democratic gains.
I hope some of the ideas on the blog make you smile and certainly make you think.
Until later....
