2. You could hear protestors on TV on MSNBC...

..as David Gregory commented on Bush's big pile of crap. Right outside the Whitehouse gates.

13. YES!!!! I've Been Saying It For OVER A YEAR!
Not just locally.... we need to make it SO BIG we can't be IGNORED! Not ANY MORE!

This rally on the 27th is too late for many of us to make it.... But we need to MARCH in hundreds of thousands! I really mean it... if they don't stop this man we are going to be paying FOREVER!

He's INSANE! What are we NOT being told?? Did he sell his soul and now CAN'T get out?? I'm beginning to believe he made so many "deals" he's UNABLE to get out because THEY will KILL him! This MUST be what is going on! What other reason could there be??? Even IF he's a complete idiotic fanatic, there MUST be those around him who can see this. THEY must know deals were made and maybe his LIFE is actually on the line. He must be trying to save himself by letting others get killed for HIS stupid insipid INSANITY!

And now I'm beginning to sound insane... but it's GOT to be something like this because what is going on is SURREAL!!!

16. Why, and act like a bunch of "Cindy Sheehan Kool-Aid drinkers"?
That's what my fellow dems call me because I support her, why should anyone expose themselves to that in person?

I've been told there are "proper channels" to go through other than taking to the streets although I don't have a clue what those might be. So, taking to the streets would not only involve being harassed, photographed, possibly arrested and beaten, tracked by "authorities", being a possible target for numerous groups and being put on countless lists by repukes, but it also now includes being abused by fellow dems.

You want to know why people aren't in the streets, there's your answer.

Edited on Thu Jan-11-07 02:37 PM by meganmonkey
Alas, I don't think I will be attending. If I do, I will be taking the overnight bus so I won't be there to hang out at meetups or anything. Major kudos to you for traveling so far to attend!! :hug:

And thanks for bringing up memories of that night - what fun it was! I drank waaaay too much scotch though :P

I am trying to go to this one though:

34. "Taking to the streets" can show numbers, but taking to the HALLS of CONGRSS is critical too.
Edited on Thu Jan-11-07 03:08 PM by pat_k
We need to elicit and challenge their rationalizations for inaction face-to-face. Fax a request for a meeting (http://january6th.org/mtg_request_menendez_fax_all.pdf">sample). Go with a friend (it's easier for two to muster the courage, but keep the numbers small or effective dialog will be difficult). It's best to fax a request in advance, but if you just show up ask to speak to a legislative assistant or coordinator to find out why your representative is not demanding immediate impeachment of Bush and Cheney. Challenge their rationalizations. It's time for a few "quiet conversations" -- and some not so quiet ones.

And, if you are looking for ammo, you may find some in my http://journals.democraticunderground.com/pat_k">journal entries.
