Change the apathy

Our current U.S. Senate is the most apathetic, do-nothing Senate in history. With the Democrats and Harry Reid in charge, they literally accomplish nothing to justify their paychecks. For over three years they have refused to do one of their main duties, submitting a budget. Maria Cantwell is a huge part of this lazy, politics as usual Senate. She just follows orders from Harry Reid. If we want to stop "Obamacare", that 3 trillion dollar government takeover of our "best in the world" medical system, we must put the Senate in the control of the Republican party. That is the only way our new President Romney will be able to actually stop Obamacare before it pushes us over the cliff!! Please vote for Michael Baumgartner for US Senate! He believes in restoring fiscal sanity. Cantwell has had her chance.
