If there's legislation you oppose that gets passed this year in Washington, don't get lulled into the notion that voting out Democrats is the answer. If you don't stop the legislation now, we'll likely be stuck with it for the remainder of the President's term. A new Congress can pass laws to repeal existing laws, but a Presidential veto can only be overridden by a full 2/3 majority in both the House and Senate. No matter how the 2010 elections turn out, it's a safe bet that Republicans alone won't ever meet that 2/3 requirement.
If you don't like what's happening in Washington, tell your Representatives and Senators. Write, phone, e-mail, and tell some friends to do the same. Attending a Tea Party might be a great idea as well.
