Why This Is Here

Welcome to youplus2.blogspot.com.

This blog exists to promote the simple idea that on November 2nd, 2010, when liberals/progressives/democrats go out to vote......they bring two like-minded folks along.

This blog exists for the unemployed, underemployed, and those struggling to keep their heads above water.  It's for those of us who can't afford to give $5 to a political campaign but fear what a Republican majority in Congress might bring.

Democrats may have not done enough, but a semblance of health care and Wall St. reforms have been enacted.  They have supported  social safety nets, such as unemployment extensions, in the face of conservative obstruction.

Should the Republicans take power in November, they will promote an agenda to repeal of any of the advances that have been made for the common good in the past two years.  They will seek to put social security in the hands of Wall St. banksters, dramatically change Medicare, and promote the tired old concept of "trickle down economics" (which should be viewed by the middle class the way a fire hydrant sees a dog with a full bladder).

We dont have the shady financial backing that a "peoples movement" like the Tea Party has.  What we do have is a mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, ex-coworker, friend that has seen what we're going thru that can be brought to the polls with us. 

You Plus Two.

It's easy to remember, it even RHYMES.  Facebook it, tweet it, put it on a yard sign, write it on the bathroom wall!  (vandalism not condoned or recommended)  Spread the word!!

The Tea Party wants to take the country "back", we want to move it FORWARD.

You + 2 = VICTORY .
