"This victory is not the change we seek. It's only the chance to make that change." (Prez-elect Obama) Let's get to work! http://is.gd/6pDD
Bedrock US values: freedom, opportunity, security. Not exactly what we got from 8 yrs of conservatism. We need a change. http://is.gd/6djs
New #s are in. Conservatives can now say: Honey, we shrunk the economy. OR The fundamentals of the economy are NOT strong. http://is.gd/5lez
Tax cuts for CEOs. Flat wages, higher costs & layoffs for us. That's conservatives' idea of "spreading the wealth". http://is.gd/5exC
Corporate greed over common good? Sick bankers over healthy unions? That's not who we are, and not what built America. http://is.gd/57Mg
Are you better off than you were 4 years ago? Let's count the ways we're not. http://is.gd/51Ou
Want a $1.50 return on every $1 you invest - not just $0.30? Well, a progressive stimulus plan gives you more. http://is.gd/4WY8
Greenspan: "I blew it!" It's high time we reject conservative myths that Wall St. foxes can guard our economic hen house. http://is.gd/4I2r
Wasteful spending hurts govt but earmarks are crumbs. Save big! End the war, kill big biz tax cuts & send Palin to Target. http://is.gd/4yOH
You can't stop your hunger with an eating freeze. And we can't rebuild America with a spending freeze. http://is.gd/4r2O
How would a conservative across-the-board spending freeze help the US invest in clean energy, health care, & job creation? http://is.gd/4cbh
More budget cuts and tax cuts for the rich? Been there, done that. That's the wrong way to fight a recession. http://is.gd/47HX
What good are equal pay laws if you can't go to court when your employer breaks the law? http://is.gd/4cc9
Drilling America hasn't (& won't) relieve painful gas prices! Let's stop wasting money on Big Oil and invest in new tech that breaks our oil addiction. http://is.gd/3Jd1
Health care is a right, not a commodity. Everyone deserves quality care, choice of docs & power to beat price-gouging. http://is.gd/3FVT
