Where the HELL are the Democrats?

[pegkerr]

I am furious at the refusal of the Democratic Senators to support Feingold's attempt to introduce legislation to censure the President for his violations of the U.S. Constitution. They are cutting and running like gutless cowards in the face of smears like that of Republican Senator Wayne Allard of Colorado, who in an interview with Fox News radio, said in response to Feingold's action that he has "time and time again [sided] with the terrorists."

How much of our government are you going to allow the Republicans to dismantle before you get off your duffs? Geez, try to remember that you have a spine and use it for once.

Rubbish!!! Snarl... I live in England, as you know, but since I'm still an American citizen, I am entitled to vote in federal elections, and I vote out of Colorado. I have NEVER voted for Allard. *sigh* It's so embarassing that the man with the worst environmental voting record comes from Colorado, such a beautiful state. :(

At any rate, I did try. Earlier this week I sent the Move-On petition to Senator Allard, Senator Salazar (I was hoping Ken, a Democrat, would be brave enough to do something) and to Representative Udall. Now, Udall (Mo's nephew, and a liberal type Democrat representing Boulder, which, like Denver is to the left -- it's the rest of the state to the right) would do something... but he's only in the House. At least I hope he would.

I am very disappointed in Salazar and will be writing to him to tell him so. Allard? *sigh* He always loses in Boulder and Denver, but the rest of the state votes for him. I have a friend who lives in his original area (he started in the House), and she does her best, along with her other people in the Ft. Collins area, to defeat him, but he keeps winning. :(
