Awesome! Way to stick it to the man there Laura! The only way to get heard it to speak, and it sounds like that happened (in spades). Keep up the good work!

Great Job Laura!

I was amazed at the powerful show of force that young people brought into the halls of congress. I could feel the energy and solidarity everywhere I went. We will be heard!

I think what we need now is a national lobbying network to keep all of us Power Shifters up to date on pending legislation. We could flood congress with calls and emails everytime they mistep. Monday, Nov. 5th was only the introduction. We will keep the heat on!

Coleman actually did us all a favor. Too many politicians will smile and make nice and then vote to favor the fat cats. Coleman told you up front where he’s at and made clear how he does or does not represent us.

The best revenge is to thank him, then work like hell to get him out of office. He’s essentially tied in the polls, one year out. He pissed off 70 college students. Together with their friends, they ought to be able to knock on a LOT of doors and do a lot of volunteer work before November 08.

Thanks Sen. Coleman. One way or another, we’re going to get one more vote in the Senate. If it isn’t yours, we’ll gladly replace you.

don’t worry Laura - y’all are going to kick Coleman’s ass and win back Paul Wellstone’s seat in ‘08.

Word of your “80 by 50″ chant spread throughout the House and Senate office buildings on Lobby Day! I heard questions about it from a couple of people as the day went on and all I could say was “that sounds like Power Shifters to me!” Props to our friends form Minnesota.

I’ve only got one question: is Coleman up for reelection in 2008? Sounds like it’s time for a power shift in Minnesota!
