Shaking My Head (SMH)

In social media talk, SMH means shaking my head. That's exactly what I've been doing all week. I am astounded that our message of getting out the Democratic vote is getting buried by the hysteria surrounding #Ebola, travel bans, and now today the #Ebola czar. What about the economy? That's what all the pundits said was on everybody's mind.

Yesterday, we learned that applications for unemployment insurance was at a 14 YEAR LOW! The unemployment rate is at a 6 year low at 5.9%. In the last year alone, without any help from the GOP, the economy has added 2.6 MILLION jobs. In August the number of available jobs rose to a 13 year HIGH.

But, the media is running with the #Ebola story 24/7 and drowning out any positive news about the economy. We know that our media is helping the GOP in their efforts to take over the Senate. But, we have TWO WEEKS to do something. Many of us have already voted. We can now do our part to encourage other Democrats to vote. Moveon.org has convenient phone banks that anyone can access from their own homes to make calls to Democrats. Last week, I wrote about the effort here:  http://pageposts1123.blogspot.com/2014/10/lets-party.html

If you don't like to make phone calls, then do something else. Call local Democrats office and volunteer. We don't all want to be SHAKING OUR HEADS on November 5th do we?
