THE DEMS CAVE BECAUSE WE DON'T SPEAK UP?

That's what Nicole at Crooks & Liars suggests:


Debbie Wasserman-Schultz told Ed Schultz weeks ago that she doesn’t hear about these things from her constituents. I put in a call to my congresscritter and had much the same thing confirmed. They’re asked about local interests like protecting local businesses and expediting government bureaucracy for their constituents, like passport facilitation. They get their share of angry calls, but what they don’t get are calls of support for standing up against the Bush administration and their Republican counterparts. No one is telling them “if you play tough, we will have your back.”


I sent my representative, Raul Grijalva, an e-mail through his House website months ago letting him know that I would support him if he refused to fund the Iraq War. I guess it's time to do that again.
