Dear Tea Party:
I heard you've been studying the Constitution. That's great! The Left loves the Constitution. We have some common ground there.

I can tell you that the Left is feeling frustrated these days, just like you. Believe it or not, we're not well-represented in Washington. We wanted a green energy policy but that has largely been ignored. We wanted a public health insurance option but that was completely excluded from the health care debate. We wanted secret detentions to stop but they haven't. We wanted out of Iraq and Afghanistan but Obama's digging in deeper.

They're just not listening to us liberals in Washington!
