5. I have found that we have been somewhat neutered
Unless someone like Conyers, or Pelosi or Boxer can get enough support to launch a full scale investigation into the minutes, coingate, ethics, Rove, the war etc. we are for now, just talking to ourselves.

Trying to talk to those who have never heard of these things is like trying to convince them the sky is purple. They can't see it, never heard of it (it wasn't on the NEWS) and so figure we are just delusional. If not delusional their next argument is "all politicians are corrupt they all have done it, look at Clinton...".

I would love to see Move-On or some group start a campaign - media onslaught, toward all of congress telling them either clean up this mess or prepare to lose your jobs. Let their be NO MORE secrets from the people who hire you. I think that's the only way to make changes quickly. Otherwise the old farts with die off through attrition, which could take 1/2 a century. The bottom line is everything changes, that is certain. I would just like to see it change in my lifetime.
