I'm not sufficiently pissed off -- yet.

You know ultimately, we will get exactly what we deserve if we don't work for what we want.

And it will take work. We -- the American people -- are under attack by big, monied interests.

Right now the money is winning. I have a slow simmer bubbling up from under my skin. I am angry and yet I have little desire to put my words and thoughts to cyber paper. You read much of the same that I read.

There is only one thing to do. Inform people to GOTV in 2014. Local politics matter. It's the farm team for what we will see coming down the pike in the next few years. People like Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Chris Cristie and even Susan Martinez didn't didn't show up in a vacuum. The4y were courted or appointed by the Republican party -- with moneyed interests.

Of those examples, every one is facing some sort of scandal because they have made a choice to serve the money rather than the people - every time.

From Daryl Issa to John Boehner to Rick Scott to Scott Walker and Paul Ryan, they serve money, not people. These people didn't rise to power by serving the electorate. They rose to power by deceiving the voters and taking the money from those that do not serve the people. I could list more people, but it's not worth it, not today.

These people who serve the money are responsible for the mess in Nevada, a mess where we have people who really believe that government is the evil thing that makes us all worse off. Rational people know this is not true, and yet - here we are. We have the lunatic fringe slowly taking over this nation. Rationality is considered bad and fringe is now being accepted as normal.

This November may very well be the most important midterm election we will see in our lifetime.

GOTV in 2014. Do whatever you can. Reason must win this November.
