My job requires me to sit at my computer all day. While at work, I like to browse various web-sites. DU quickly became one of my favorite.

There is something that I have noticed not only here, but in alot of liberals that I talk to. There is an overwhelming feeling of "well that will never get, a)passed, b)voted on, c)the attention it deserves, d)through Congress or the WH" so I see no reason in supporting it."

Now, I know that the overwhelming frustration and anger towards what has happened to this country over the last 7 years has lead some to the conclusion that nothing can be done about it. I am not quite there yet, and I pray that I never get there.

I admit that fixing this country's problems, whether they be health care, education, the economy, the war, or any of the numerous problems facing us today, will be an uphill battle. We can not quit!!! We can not give up! We have to stand and fight. We have to demand that our rights are just that, our RIGHTS. We have to write letters, sign petitions, get out and talk.

This can not continue to happen. We will not survive as a nation if we keep giving up. Regardless of who you support in the election, push them. Do not let their feet out of the fire.

I urge YOU DU'ers DO NOT GIVE UP. We can be the once great nation we used to be.

Please forgive my naiveness, I just have to hold on to that hope.
