In these times we can NOT tie the hands of our government. The Republicans have destroyed our democratic system, leaving the country in a deep hole and we MUST take action in order to have any chance of digging ourselves out again. If we DON'T elect a congress and president who will work together, we will once again find ourselves in a stalemate that will make it impossible act. I sincerely believe that whichever party's candidate you support, it's VITAL to give them the majority they need to actually DO something about the situation.

We have watched Obama's decision making process over the last 18 months in a campaign that everyone would have to agree has been run more efficiently and consistently than any campaign we have experienced in my lifetime. This man has proven that he deserves the chance to run our country. In this time of desperately needed change, I believe he is the only choice with a steady, even hand. He needs a majority Congress to have any chance of implementing that change. We gave the Republicans 8 years. It's time to give Barack Obama his swing at the ball. If his ideas are not working we can throw the Congress out in 2 years. That's what happened with Bush. Once it finally became clear he was going in the wrong direction, we voted in a Democratic Congress. But he was given his chance. If we don't give Obama a solid, filibuster-proof majority, we will have no way of knowing if he really has solutions to our desperate situation. It is time for a change. Let's give the man the majority he needs.
