Lando, I think we have a problem, and I think we need to hear from you.

(What follows is only my own observation, and may be accepted or dismissed by anyone for any reason; either is fine by me).

I can feel the heat from the Empire boiling over.

I'm not going to engage in any bashing of the Rebel Alliance here; I'm just trying to tell you (as a lifelong Independent-registered voter, and therefore perhaps one of the more-objective people here) that there's big trouble brewing.

I see SO much frustration here. So, SO many people who have worked SO hard on behalf of the Rebellion, and now feel betrayed.

The joy from last November's destruction of the Death Star has completely dissipated. All the people who did so much for the Rebellion have found, as a reward for their energy, money, and loyalty, naught but a handful of ashes.

After ten months now, what have the Rebels we sent to the Imperial Congress and Senate done to repay our faith?

Nothing. The frustration has been building here at DU. The Rebel House members and Senate have accomplished exactly NONE of the things we sent them to Coruscant to do. They've caved in to Emperor Palpatine at EVERY turn of events.

They've betrayed out trust, over and over.

And today, in a most astonishing slap to the face to Rebels in general and DUers in particular, the REBEL-CONTROLLED Senate, has issued a censure to an organization that I think most DUers would regard as a sister organization to DU.

The REBEL-CONTROLLED Senate can't manage to do ONE THING to get us out of that hideous Clone War.

The REBEL-CONTROLLED Senate has done NOTHING about healthcare for droids.

The REBEL-CONTROLLED Senate has done NOTHING about our looming economic crisis.

But the REBEL-CONTROLLED Senate HAS managed to allow a censure of TheNewTrilogySucksAss.org.

Lando, you're the only one who can rally the troops. Based on what I've seen, an awful lot of DUers have gotten discouraged and disheartened by today's disgraceful action by the REBEL-CONTROLLED Senate.

DU needs to hear from you. Tell us why we should have hope. We, and other Rebels, did all we could do, and sent enough Rebels to Coruscant to seize a majority of both houses of Congress.

Tell us why all that work and all those X-Wings were NOT in vain.

Because it sure seems like they were.

4. damn it, i knew someone was gonna drop the Colt .45 on this thread

can we forgive the man for a serious lapse of judgement, or are we gonna hold the cold smooth flava of Colt .45 over his head forever?
