About time. Every who can should be going to their local townhall meetings with their local members of Congress, and giving them an earful. The time for being nice has passed. You need to be mad as hell, and let them know it. The Teabaggers, for all their warts, got one thing right. There's nothing quite so effective as confronting a member of Congress with true in-your-face ire. Pioneer Press:
This time it was the liberals who were angry about what's happening in Washington.....More of this needs to happen. Far too many Democratic members of Congress are enabling the President, rather than publicly challenging him. But they need to hear form us first, or they worry that it's bad politics standing up to the President. We need to let them know that it's bad politics not to.
On Tuesday night, [Democratic House member Betty] McCollum's fellow Democrats packed a music recital hall at St. Catherine University to give the six-term congresswoman an earful about their disappointment with Obama and his economic and military policies.

John from St. Paul wanted to know why Obama has moved to the right. "Whose side is he on?" he asked.
