Everything's Going To Be Okay

Today, the day after the health care vote, I'm feeling much more optimistic than I felt the day after Obama's election in 2008.

1. God is in control.  Whatever happens, it will serve His purposes.
2.  I'm staying away from TV news indefinitely.  I can't tolerate the idea of watching a gloating Pelosi.  (Band name idea - The Gloating Pelosis)
3.  I love the idea of a constitutional amendment to repeal health care.  I think there is plenty of grassroots energy to get people to vote in conservative representatives in their state governments, who could then force a constitutional convention.  The more people focus on conservative leaders at the local level, the better.  The media won't have as much influence on local elections.  Average Joe might think that republicans/conservatives are uncaring on some abstract level, but he knows that Dan down the street is a decent, common sense guy who takes care of his family and coaches little league.  The more people who get engaged in the election process at a local level, the better.
The important thing is to focus the grassroots energy early.
4.  I was about the 300th facebook fan of  Bart Stupak's opponent, Dan Benishek, last night.  It was fun watching his fan numbers swell during the course of the evening.  People want a scapegoat for their anger.  By his grandstanding and the cheap selling of his vote, Bart Stupak became the guy.  Checking the fan numbers at  his facebook page and reading the comments there is a quick pick-me-up.
5.  The name, Bart Stupak.  The possibilities are endless.  (Generally, I don't condone teasing someone, especially based on something he doesn't have control over, like his name, but, Stupak is as Stupak does.)
