I received an email from my Congressman in New York's 19th district asking constituents if they thought he should vote for or against the HCR bill. After speaking with a staffer in his office explaining why he NEEDS to vote in favor, I asked if the majority of calls they have been receiving were in favor or against. Sadly, the staffer reported that the vast majority were anti-reform. Please call John Hall (especially if you're in district) to help counterbalance the wingnut/Larouchebag/Teabagger consortium flooding his phone lines. More past the fold about the email I received.

I have been following my Congressman's website closely and couldn't take the fence-sitting anymore. I called today to get a clear unequivocal answer to a simple question. Will you stand with House Progressives in support of including a public option in any legislation? Follow me over the fold for the contents of my conversation with his aides.

I woke up this morning and turned on Morning Joke as I do every morning because I am a glutton for punishment and although odious, Joe and Mika are better than anything on FauxNewz or Corporate News Network. Imagine my surprise when I got the "blue screen" from Cablevision explaining that now MSNBC was only available to digital subscribers (at a much higher monthly rate). Of course, I still was permitted access to Faux and CNN. Does anyone think this was a random decision? Follow me over the fold for my diatribe.

What follows is pure conjecture, but conjecture that is steeped in close observation of politics, economics, history and sociology. It came to me in a flash of insight while I pondered how Democrats and the forces of progressive thought could have allowed the right to so eviscerate this great country over the last 15 years. Here's my theory after the jump...

Just because something may be difficult to hear, doesn't mean one should be cowed into holding back from discussing it in public. Over the past eight years I developed something of a bad reputation for being a bummer at parties or social gatherings. Folks didn't want to hear me lay out the myriad ways our government (specifically the right wing) and even our society at large was failing and coming unravelled. People goofed on me calling me a wild eyed conspiracy theorist. Others were made uncomfortable by discussions I prompted on things like the war, ecology, civil liberties etc. I had numerous people get angry at me saying things like, "no one wants to hear that. Folks are here to have a good time not get lectured on <Travesty Du Jour> Mind you, I was not a pedantic, lecturing, know-it-all, boor. I just always feel like important stories should be hashed out and thoughts explored in social arenas. This is why I have loved lurking here at Dkos for a long time. Thinking and exchanging ideas on difficult topics are welcomed activities in this community and other progressive blogs. For this I am grateful. But lately, I have been noticing that this may be changing (not here yet thankfully).
