Although Democrats control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives, the head of ProgressiveCongress.com said the liberal movement is not doing enough to further its political agenda and is, in fact, being out-lobbied by tea party activists and people on the political right.
"I have spent the last 14 months in Washington, and we are not advocating for our side the way that the right is advocating for theirs," said Darcy Burner, executive director of ProgressiveCongress.com at a discussion sponsored by the liberal Campaign for America's Future on Monday.
"I sit in the offices of members of Congress and listen as the phone calls come in, and there will be ten tea party phone calls to every one of ours," she said. "The right has built this infrastructure that provides information to members of Congress. We have not done enough to counter that.”

the biggest issue i have is the lefties that protest (generally speaking) are the ones that have nothing better to do with their time because they are already living on the government. righties are out working all day and generally cant make these 'rallies'. now that america has sunk to an all-time low and NO ONE has a job, the righties can voice more than usual.
