Get on the Horn, People
It's Virtual Lobby Day. You should get your colleagues to spend five fewer minutes being stressed out over their ten thousand observations or whatever, and shepherd them over to a phone or a computer. They need to do something important.
I really like my current representative, although I'm so jittery about going out and campaigning or canvassing. I'd hate to get behind someone who turns out to be stealth reformy, or stealth anti-labor, or stealth attack-the-pensions, and it's just so hard to know what the term "Democrat" means in the age of Rahm-- particularly when it comes to public education. Kelly Cassidy is doing a good job in the 14th district; the IFT has endorsed her. I'd like to hear more from her, or more from IPACE or the CTU about why there was no endorsement from those organizations in the 14th district.
Anyway... drag a colleague to the phone. You can bet Ty Fahner is calling someone as we speak, ranting and raving about how broke we are and how the only solution is more tax cuts.
