Let's Grow Some Balls, Skip The Media Whores & Pink Tutu Dems And Bitchslap This War Off The Planet

Anybody watching the news today, with footage of the outrageous carnage in Sadr City and Bahgdad, on Thanksgiving, has got to put 2 and 2 together and ask themselves,

"What can WE do to stop this goddamned illegal, immoral war in Iraq (and prevent the next one in the pipeline)."

Not as in "What can WE do....?" :shrug:

But "What can WE DO...?" :wtf:

On Thanksgiving, as we list things we're thankful for, let's consider simple things like: Electricity, Water, Food, Travel, Normal Daily Life. Simple things missing from the lives of people that George Bush went to war to "liberate."

Images of the political and military chaos, in a country turned into a warzone by the Bushco. invasion and left devastated 3 years after Halliburton KBR, etc. arrived to rebuild what the U.S. bombs destroyed.......... What can WE DO to stop this insanity?

We can organize ourselves to send a message, starting from where we are and working outward, using community networks and net resources, bypassing MegaMedia and a stagnant (if potentially revitalized) Congress. We can flex our purchasing power and grassroots voice by participating in November 24 Buy Nothing Day. Be grateful for what we have and and recognize our power to choose what companies we support (or not) with our $$$$$. Think that won't get the corporations and lobbyists attention?

The bloodiest day in Iraq, on our day of traditional thanksgiving. Let's honor the lives lost and damaged in our name, by pressuring the Congress to end this war sooner rather than later.
