Why Isn't Anybody talking about 2014?

Hillary Clinton? Chris Christie, Scott Walker? - 2016? - Who Cares?

Benghazi, Benghazi  Benghazi.

The Republicans got this mantra locked because Democrats continue to buy into this notion that anything "Repubs" say is even remotely the truth and to say anything against those lies is what, the kiss of death?

Every person in this country should have the 2014 midterm elections in their sight, on their agenda, be committed to getting out and registering voters. There are serious issues at hand:  Elections have consequences.

Voter suppression, Women's health, Minimum wage, Medicaid expansion.

If we don't hold the Senate and take over the House - 2016 is irrelevant. We've seen what "repubs" do when they get power:

Attack women's rights, pass legislation to make it more difficult to vote, support the NRA.  In essence let a faction of crazy people take over the Country. God knows the "repubs" can't reign in the Tea Party. Hell they welcomed them, thought they could control them and are now reaping the world wind. Thanks to gerrymandering and the Supreme Court, over 50 years of struggle and sacrifice have been decimated.  When is enough, enough?

This weekend, June 21st - marks the 50 year Anniversary of Freedom Summer and the murders of three courageous young men:  James Chaney, age, 21, Andrew Goodwin, age, 20 and Michael Schwerner, age, 23.

They were gunned down by the Klu Klux Klan and buried in a 15-foot earthen dam in Philadelphia, Mississippi.  It took 44 days to find their bodies. They died standing up for the right to vote. Believing in the importance of that right for our Democracy.  Their sacrifice so engaged and enraged this country that in 1964 President Lyndon Johnson signed into law The Civil Rights Act.

Today, in 2014 will we allow their deaths to have been in vain?

This is our Freedom Summer. What are we going to do with it?

Hillary Clinton? Chris Christie, Scott Walker? - 2016? Who Cares?

And again, I ask. Why isn't anybody talking about 2014?

Benghazi, Benghazi  Benghazi.

Democrats!  Please!

FOCUS!!!!!
