True, but it had little to do with AWBEveryone needs to call their Senate and House reps and remind them what happened last time they put AWB in place:
The 1994 United States elections were held on November 8, 1994. The elections occurred in the middle of Democratic President Bill Clinton's first term in office, and elected the members of 104th United States Congress. The elections have been described as the "Republican Revolution" because the Republican Party captured unified control of Congress for the first time since 1952. Republicans picked up eight seats in the Senate and won a net of 54 seats in the House of Representatives. Republicans also picked up a net of ten governorships and took control of many state legislative chambers.
That was just the public forcing Clinton to moderate on his plans in a mid-year election. I'd argue it made his administration much more successful than he would have been otherwise.
