I don't want my country back.
I don't want my country back.
I want my country forward!

This should be on our signs in the coming rallies. Take the Tea Baggers slogan of "wanting their country back" and turn it around on them.

Our country: Forward not back.

Tea Baggers want it back.
Progressives want it forward.

D = forward.
R = back.

Any more suggestions?

1. We must go forward, not backward!
Upward, not forward! And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

Until every criminal from the former 8 years are held accountable..there will never be a moving forward!

You can say the words..but words have meaning and with no justice or rule of law.. we have no freedom!

The words are a mere illusion! and a pathetic one at that.

Unless the Bush/Cheney cabal and administration and those who broke our laws and international laws and demolished portions of our Constitution..there is no forward! Because we will see the same criminals return over and over again, to finish the destruction of our freedoms and our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The only going forward is to hold all the criminals accountable under our judicial system.

It is not going forward when the Telecoms get immunity for breaking our most fundamental laws to protect our privacy.

It is not going forward when Illegal renditions continue.

It is not going forward when our Public Schools are being sold to the highest bidders.

It is not going forward when you have Kissngers Protoge's running the treasury.

It is not going forward when cover ups continue to this day protecting BP OIL.

It is not going forward when the richest in this nation pay less taxes than people making $30 thousand a year.

It is not moving forward when torture chambers still exist in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It is not moving forward when Gays can not serve in our military unless they lie.

It is not moving forward when a new administration retains many from the former criminal administration!!

It is not moving forward when our own party calls it's base nasty names.
IT IS NOT MOVING FORWARD OR FREEDOM.. WHEN OUR PRESIDENT CAN SIGN A SIGNING STATEMENT OR ANY OTHER DAMN STATEMENT THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS ON FOREIGN SOIL WITH NO LEGAL RIGHTS OR JUSTICE. That is just playing god with the power to do so.

There is no moving forward without a real 9/11 investigation and some damn truth for once!

Over a million human lives have been murdered in MY name..the US of A In Iraq..with no investigation and no accountability..we will forever be the target of terrorists and we will be the target of retribution..that is NOT FREEDOM! only the most ignorant among us would think it was!

and that is just for starters!
