Among all the things that need to be done, there is one thing that can't wait for the new Congress to start. We need to stop Mr. Bush's wars and bring our troops home--NOW!. Every day that Congress fails to act means two or three more American deaths--and for what: Mr. Bush's ego? Too many people have already died for Mr. Bush's ego.

Once our troops are out of harm's way, we can discuss and decide on our priorities. Then we can tell our representatives what they are to work on--rather than letting the corporations and lobbyists set the agenda as they have been doing in the Republican-controlled Congress. This is the real change that must take place in Congress.

"Unless the people, through unified action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, and the general public will find itself in a condition of servitude to an aggregation of organized and selfish interest." --Calvin Coolidge

Now is the time to vote for change. After that, we must keep the pressure on by staying active and staying informed. The governing of our nation is too important to leave it to the politicians. We have tried that, and we are now living with the result.
