DEMOCRATS CAN WIN TOMORROW AND HERE'S HOW

YOU HAVE TO VOTE. That's right, you have to get off your duffs and go to the polls tomorrow and vote. That is if you haven't already sent a mail-in ballot. I am a pessimist when it comes to Congress doing the right thing for the country, but whatever happens, the U.S. will be in much better hands with a Democratic Senate. Some surprises in the House would be nice to help put John Boehner in his place. It is beyond me how an American public can make its decisions on who to vote for with all the negative advertising backed by dark money. Of course the more sophisticated voters can see beyond this trash but most of us need some hard facts to decide and we're not getting them. Rome didn't fall in a day but I'll bet there are several similarities here in its decline.

DARK MONEY SPENDING IS BULLYING?

You thought bullying was only for kids in school that took advantage of those who either couldn't or didn't defend themselves. Not, says Dan Merica, in the CNN article, "Clinton decries outside spending in pricey N.C. Senate race." The Presidential hopeful said, "Elections come down often to who has got more money, who is pedaling more fear and who turns out." Well, both sides do it, but Republicans are perfectionists at pedaling fear. And the GOP always seems to get their people out to vote. My wife and I are lifetime progressives and have never missed an election. Another comment, "We teach our kids not to bully and that is all they [dark ads] are doing." Some think the mid-terms could be a tossup.

GUN CONTROL ADVOCATES-ELECTIONS TO WATCH

The Wall Street Cheat Sheet has lined up some races in November that us gun control advocates
Look closely for the bloody dead child
should pay particular attention to. One is Mark Udall (D-Colo) who voted to ban high capacity magazines and so far is in an even race against opponent Rep. Cory Gardner (R). Giffords' group is also backing Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), and Al Franken (D-Minn.). Others include Reps. Ron Barber (D-Ariz.), Ann Kuster (D-N.H.), Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.), and Bruce Braley (D-Iowa), Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.). Giffords and Kelly's group, Americans for Responsible Solutions is attempting to show that it is possible to be an advocate of gun control and still support the 2nd Amendment.

Progressives must turn out in November if we are going to bring down the National rifle Assn. along with its leader wacky Wayne LaPierre.
