Words.
"You are a progressive voter, and you are disillusioned. So much so that you are thinking of sitting this election out.
Well, think again. Take a deep breath -- then eat, pray, vote.
...When these guys are running the show, it's not disappointment you will feel -- it's despair.
Why? Because far-right conservatives are ready to roll back many of the civilizing advances of the 20th century, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Republicans are also gunning to repeal and replace President Obama's health-care overhaul -- and the 20 or so states already fighting to overturn health-care reform in the courts would be emboldened by a Republican victory.
...These prospects should concentrate the mind. This is indeed a choice election. We're not talking about a simple change of power in Congress, we're talking about a fundamental reordering of America in terms of its priorities and possibilities.
...the big question facing progressives in these weeks before the midterm elections is this: Will we build on a politics of change? Or will we sit back and retreat because things haven't gone as we had hoped?"
