We have them outnumbered, run away, run away!

Spirit of the Democratic Party

With the economy, the Democrats playing dead for Lieberman and the near certainty that everything that brought us the Obama victory is being thrown out by the Congress I have not been posting.

The health care bill that may be passed by Congress will be nothing more than a give away to the insurance companies unless the House stands firm. Enough of the National crap.

I know giving up won't do any good. Giving up is the excuse of the weak.

I can't do anything on the national stage but what is coming down in Maine is too close and too scary to ignore.


Local issues are coming up that will affect the State, State employees, and Union members throughout the State are the coming targets again.

The governor will be Baldacci will announce his plan Friday for filling an estimated $400 million hole in the state budget, and we can expect to have the legislature trying to cut budgets and spill blood behind closed doors.

Just remember that at least two of the candidates for gov. currently in the legislature, Libby (D) and Peter (R) both stated publicly that they promised to respect the collective bargaining rights of Union employees and they both swore that no more cuts would be forced on us without coming to the table.

There are some rays of light. I know from direct knowledge that someone has started laying off contractors, not State Employees and the same work is still getting done and done less expensively.

You can help yourself. When you hear you are needed to call the legislature, to show up at a meeting of the legiscritters, don't turn your head. You, me, we, can make a difference. Don't be a no show.

They want your vote, they want your help. I don't want promises, I want to see them keep their word.
