Proud Democrat. We stand for what is fair and just for all, even if it means personal sacrifice. Greed and the Me-Generation killed America.

Democrats believe that we are better together. That America is the best country in the world because of our differences, because of our diversity. We believe that this country isn't, but can be for every one. We believe that every person's vote should count the same.

Okay time to get radical. I want all 200+ democrat house members to hold court. If Republicans are going to close shop for 3 months, fuck it. Go to work. Get on the floor, debate in front of cameras, discuss the actual bills democrats would pass. Put on a daily show.
