The Congressional Democrats appear to have decided to stop listening, as if a childish insistence that the polls are wrong will allow them to skate past the People. It's obvious that they wish us to give up, to concede and shut up. So I have a simple idea.
Some years ago, I read a novel that introduced a novel idea to resister your vote, a very direct method of doing so. That novel introduced the idea of taking up your flashlight, your lighter, even your candle, turning off every light you could.
Then, at the appointed hour, you and yours step outside and light 'em up! From space, any orbiting satellite "spy" camera could count the light sources, and directly register your opinion.
Yeah, so it's corny. Yes, your neighbors would immediately know what your real feelings are. So what.
If they don't already know, you've already failed, my friends. And the call to "Go to the Moon!" was corny, too.
But, if we all decide to do it, it could work. I'm going to do it. If you decide to join me, and wish to urge others to join in, go to the Facebook Groups page "Shine a Light Against Health Care Reform!"
