And then it's too late

There was an excellent post today in The Daily Kos about how the 2016 Presidential Election isn't about who is going to be our next President, but rather about the future makeup of our Supreme Court--most likely as to whether we get a Court friendly to Wall Street or to Main Street.  And whether we like Hillary or we love her, it's going to be necessary to get our voters to the polls to prevent an even worse Court for everyday Americans than the current Roberts Court.

All too often we don't see this until it's too late--just witness the war on workers and the war on women orchestrated in Michigan and Wisconsin, where nominally blue states managed to let a republican Legislature and a republican Governor come to power and watched their people power disappear.  And it isn't coming back anytime soon.  Now imagine this on a national level--because right now Barack Obama is the only thing standing between us and the annhilation of unions and abortions being performed in back alleys by charlatans.

And if there is any one message we need to get to our supporters in 2016 it's this one:  either get out and vote for our candidates or kiss even the minor victories of your way of life goodbye.

Peace,
