This post from DailyKos is what I have been talking about. Read it and then tell me I am crazy. This is what we have to do. It goes right along with what I have posted below and what I have posted before.
If we don't stay after this we won't have health care for all this year, and we can't let this happen. We have to stay after our Congressional leaders.
Thanks all.

David Waldman from DailyKos was on BloggerBunch on CNN
This is a wonderful discussion with 4 people discussing torture. Two from the left, supposedly, however Erica from the Center for American Progress is more center I think, and then two from the right.
David is very good and has his facts and points down very well. He can hold his own and is very strong. One of the best I have ever seen, why don't we see him MORE.
Watch this and tell me why we don't see his face on TeeVee all the time. He should be out there arguing these points everyday.. I would start a collection to help pay him and help get the word around that the subject needs to be changed in the media.
As I was saying and as he pointed out. The media needs someone to help them change the subject. The pictures are just a distraction, as is Nancy Pelosi. That's what Pres. Obama was trying to say the other day and what I have been saying.
The big story that everyone missed last week was that Cheney was ordering torture to get his link from 9-11 to Iraq.
Instead of focusing on that, people are angry over stupid pictures we have already seen enough of, and of what Nancy knew and when she knew it.
Don't get distracted, focus... Pay attention to the Big Picture and quit looking at the shiny object the Republicans are throwing out there...

Obama puppy nominee faces uphill battle in Senate
The nomination of Bo, the puppy tapped yesterday to be the Obama family pet, was called into question today as several GOP senators vowed to filibuster the animal's confirmation.
"The administration acknowledges that this is a Portuguese Water Dog," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). "The American people have a right to know whether American water dogs were passed over in the administration's rush to install their chosen candidate. And was the dog born here, or in Portugal? I, for one, would like to see a birth certificate."
Other lawmakers were concerned about the creature's ideological bent. "This dog was a gift from Ted Kennedy," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), referring to the notably liberal senior senator from Massachusetts. "You have to wonder whether he shares Kennedy's soft-on-squirrels philosophy." A spokesman for Kennedy admitted that the senator rarely chases squirrels.
"We just don't know enough about Bo," agreed Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ). "A water dog needs to have a clear idea about how its master should cross shallow bodies of water. But we have no indication of where Bo stands on the question of row versus wade."
While Republican lawmakers were divided on precisely why Bo was unsuitable for the position of First Pet, all agreed that the President's nomination of the dog must not be allowed to stand. "It's like a lot of things the Obama administrtion has tried to do," mused Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY). "It's not so much the specifics of what's being done that are important as it is who's trying to do them. Whatever it is, if Obama is for it, I'm against it."
