Re: Early House Report Card

Hostile isn't intended. My opinion is just that no one is on our side. Frank is on the banking indutry's side. I think most of the rest are lukewarm, and following the lead of a committee chairman. The difference is the NRA actually gets good bills passed for them, and bad ones squashed. I don't have a different idea, I like, support, and participate in what we do here. I just politely, and respectfully, think we haven't gotten far yet.

I'm impressed that you felt the handful of active Legislation forum posters here could deliver veto-proof House and Senate majorities in the two months you've been posting here if we'd only have a sense of urgency. The reality is that we lost a House vote 317-93 within the last 12 months. The progress we've made in such a short amount of time is something we can all take a little pride in. I don't know why you expected Congress to jump on our bandwagon a few months after that, but you're right in that this is a long-term fight. We're just getting started. If you're going to get upset every day we don't get an up-or-down Senate vote, you're in for a long ride.
