Now What?

Take a short while and enjoy the feeling of winning something important.  But then we have to get on the phones and online, and start telling our Congress Critters to do everything necessary to get some shit done.  Especially the Repubs and Blue Dogs.  Steady pressure works.  Just make it a habit to call or drop an email on 'em about specific issues.  It's not necessary to obsess and do nothing but watch the news.  Just get an idea about what you want your representatives to do, and then tell them what you want from them - and do it regularly.

Like any other employee, they need to know what's expected of them; and once in a while they need to hear a strong message of "get it done or get out".
