Is the backlash mounting?

Our friend from the land of Harry Reid aside, This is the big question that will keep me in the state through the 2014 election. If we get a big swing back to the right (now that pot isn't on the ballot) and start moving back toward personal liberty, I'll stay. If the status quo continues, I won't.

I sincerely hope that these last few months have woken some of us up. I know I'm certainly more interested in local politics than before.

The question is (not personally here towards you -- just in general) -- will it last to the midterms. Very few people vote in midterms. And the public tends to have a very short memory.

These laws are going to be very very difficult to overturn. Even if it was successful, expect to live with them for 5-10 years. (in other words: we have a lot of work ahead of us)

My point there isn't to be negative. It's to be realistic and a bit motivational. I get a feeling that a lot of people are gonna just throw their hands up when the final votes come down... but even then it doesn't mean it's over; just a lot harder.
