If the DNC was smart, they would parade every anti corporate and establishment congress member and senator and start coming up with a plan to mitigate the damage the gop has done. But the old guard loves their money too much and won't allow it to happen

Rural America needs to put pressure on ineffective legislators. We elect them to represent us. Call them and remind them that they have a job to do.

Brad Finstad will not hold an official town meeting. The congressional GOP leaders are telling representatives to avoid town halls and do phone sessions. We must keep the pressure on them until they give in.

Last week, I watched my daughter perform i. A one act play called " I Never Saw Another Butterfly." It is based on poems and drawings from children from Prague during g the Holocaust. The news of Guantanomo being used to house deported sends shivers up my spine. I feel bad things will happen.

Republicans do not care about the ruke of law. They only care about power. This is blatantly shown this week as the Minnesota Legislation session opened up. Their power grab by electing a speaker without a quorum and ignoring court rulings is disturbing
