My heart got stretched today. I went over to the Knox County (TN) Democratic HQ to see what's up. Kim asked if I wanted to volunteer at a health clinic in Roane County this weekend. I said, "Sure", assuming she meant a health fair... you know, free cholesterol screenings, low fat recipes... No. We are going into the heart of what is broken in this country. We are going on a Remote Area Medical expedition.

The tipoff: According to Rasmussen

Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republican voters say their party’s representatives in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters nationwide over the past several years.

Help me. I have a good idea (I think). I want feedback, suggestions and more ideas.

I'm in Knoxville, TN. In the Senate, we have Bob Corker & Lamar Alexander. My Congress-critter is John Duncan, one of the 2 Republicans who are so conservative that they voted against the Iraq war. It's worse than being unrepresented. My legislators work against the interests of their people.

What to do, what to do? They are intransigent. But wait... there are ways for red state blues to be heard in Congress. Lets put our heads together.

My brain has turned to mush, so this MotherShip is now inactive due to incoherence. A series of self-propagating liveblog child diaries will continue till the close of the hearings today. They shouldn't be too hard to find :)

This is the Sotomayor Confirmation Hearing Liveblog Mothership. Please recommend only this diary and not any of the child diaries.

Please limit comments in this diary, and NO pictures.
We need to keep it easy for dial-up users to open.
Go to the current Child Diary for commentary. Thanks!
