An aggregate of information that makes me think about why people aren't progressive.
Why not progressive?
At times I'm frustrated by those that don't follow politics in the United States. I worry they don't vote, I worry they don't get their opinion out there. Of course, I am very progressive and very much in opposition to the right, however, I'm being inspired by a much greater goal than politics. Politics is all cyclical. It's not important in the grand scheme of things. The important part of life is what all the regular people are doing. I'm changing the focus of this blog a bit. Not because I think the Tea Party won the midterms or anything like that but because I want to elevate us above that sort of derogatory nonsense into something that is far more useful. Something to save us and save the world. Small goals, I know. But seriously something to talk about.

Why Do The 2010 Midterms Matter More Than Most?
There's a very real issue this year that makes these midterms very important. Remember that little census that we participated in this year? Take a look at this: Why This Year Matters
well thanks for scaring me even more than I already was, David! lol..
Seriously, I had not even considered what would happen when the census numbers were tallied. And seriously, I am nervous at the prospect.
Seeing as you are the political blogger now, can you do a red-state, blue-state comparison of the states gaining seats vs. those losing seats?
Also, there are some "swing states" in there-- (if I am not mistaken- Ohio, PA? right?)... could this potential gaining/losing of seats impact their importance in elections?
You may not have been prepared for questions, but I'm planning on putting you to work. You are the fearless leader, and we the plebeian followers need guidance.
Oh good lord! I was just getting this crap off of Facebook. I wasn't doing a societal impact analysis of the issues at hand. Just posting my thoughts.... Love you so much! I'll look into what you're talking about because it is important!
