Why aren't WE there demanding it ourselves? Every day until they're gone.
A host of Dems have called for Rumsfeld to be fired and for us to get out of Iraq. Edwards and Kerry have both been to New Orleans, Kerry was just there a few days ago. The leaders are leading, the people aren't following, they're just sitting around and BITCHING.
John Kerry has been calling for the people to rise up, and called for it again today.

"What else? Oh, yes, today we learn the NSA isn't just listening to international calls but is collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans who aren't suspected of wrong-doing. How many times will government secrecy shield decision-makers from any kind of accountability?
Enough is enough. Yes, Congress needs to end the days of roll-over and rubber stamp before General Hayden becomes Director Hayden and proves Chairman Hoekstra right by doing the job wrong.
But something far more fundamental is out of whack in Washington. Every day we learn something new about this Administration's attitude - and too many people greet each story with a yawn as we learn that President Bush has announced he can disobey more than 750 laws enacted on his watch. Since when do we accept that any President has the power to set aside statutes passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution?"
"Third – someone asked earlier about this: I already support the censure motion.
Fourth – I’ve introduced a resolution to get our combat troops out of Iraq by December 31. I’m not going to let go of it either. I’m working it with my colleagues."
What was he met with? "Shut Up John Kerry."
Do you know my own beloved DeFazio voted for the Sensenbrenner bill? I don't know what the hell he was thinking about, but I'd never tell the man to shut up because he's right 95% of the time. People need to stop with this negativity and annointed leader bullshit and just follow the ones who are leading.
