Time to take it to the streets ?
Constitutional amendments to legalize discrimination, curtailment of free speech, propagandistic tactics to deceive the people at large, attempts to establish a religious dictatorship upon the people, the character assassination of anyone that disagrees, the unquestioned use of military force around the world, the takeover of the corporate media by the state, the threat to dismantle all social progress of the last seventy-five years, the deceptive use of language to destroy everything the people fought and died for and the attempts of the powerful to refuse to answer to the people?

1. here in ol' Montana
there are all of 8 saying the same thing. We have been doing the freeway blog thing (county two lanes but we work with what we have). We have to get the word out, truth, and keep it there. We have had 9 years of gop rule here and its really showing....sadly....

6. Welcome to DU, 420montana!
There are actually a surprising number of Montanans here at DU.

Maybe we should organize a Montana Society in the Meeting Room.

3. You missed a few
It's been time,Regan started this mess and the street may well be our only hope to keep this experiment in freedom alive.

4. Easy, Easy does it, simmer down ....
Never heard that exact phrase from an electorally-oriented "Peace Democrat" (my Dad, btw) last time until May 4,1971.

Right now, we have a great chance to win outright at the ballot box. We should go that route first.....

5. Election coming up
I know it's boring to sit around and wait, when you could be out in the streets right now. But A rush into the streets to fuel your arevolutionary fire would a) not be successful, b) make things harder for liberals everywhere, and c) make it more difficult to win in November. We have a good shot at winning in November; why throw that away in a futile gesture now?

As usual, the protesters (1000) were shuttled off to a side street and the police took photos.
