Time for another link dump... here's some of my Facebook and Twitter stream from the past week:
* Stop Senate obstruction #ReformSenate --> Poll: Wide Support for Strong Climate & Energy Policies even Cap & Trade http://bit.ly/dhk5hp

* Axelrod agrees --> Changing Senate rules to allow 51 votes for passage "a worthy discussion" http://bit.ly/9AYbKW

* A picture of the Bush recession and the start of the Obama recovery. Alas, we've still got a long way to go... job losses have slowed down, but the economy is not creating jobs fast enough to employ new entrants, much less the huge number of unemployed. I hope Congress starts passing bills aimed at job creation and stop worrying about deficits--new revenue from new jobs will take care of deficits a lot faster than freezing gov't spending that helps people.
