California is an example of a place where one of the legislators is vastly out of step with the public. There are many such places. People keep voting for these people at least partly because they don’t know what their legislators are really up to.

Good for a change of pace, but that’s not how you get rid of some people you don’t like and thus put fear into the rest of them. You don’t need to be numerous to be influential, all you need to do is make it clear you can be the difference when it really counts – either way.I feel safe in asserting that there are fewer NRA members than there are progressives, and yet look at their influence. Knock off a few people, not just one, and political people will take us seriously. Until then, we’re just raging at the wind.And yes, I’ve written this at FDL several times. Looks like they’ve caught on.
