presidential address/what we can do

Man, say what you will about Obama, but I think he delivered this very well. I think taking his advice and contacting our representatives is a good move for everyone. In my very politically savvy friend, Alexa's words, "Congress is publicly considering defaulting to prevent Obama from being re-elected. This amounts to throwing us all under the bus for the sake of the ambitions of one political party. 10% decrease in social security checks immediately, lost value in government savings bonds, devalued 401ks. Not patriotic, not ethical, not ok: find your rep's number here and CALL now. Here's a link to the Texas District List.
