We Must All Begin to Mobilize! Are You Ready to March Again?
Edited on Fri Jul-11-03 10:41 PM by David Zephyr
If it even appears that the Corporate Whores are beginning to bury the Bush Crime of Warbaiting for Oil Profits, then we must all be ready to once again mobilize to take to the streets around the nation just as we did before the War.

Are you ready to march again?

I am ready. So are my friends.

We must show the Media, the Democrats in Congress and most of all Republican sitting on the Fence that the AMERICAN PEOPLE DEMAND A BI-PARTISAN, INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION WITH SUBPOENA POWER IMMEDIATELY.

IMPEACH BUSH NOW! IMPEACH THIS SACK OF SHIT NOW!

OUR SOLDIERS ARE SITTING DUCKS IN IRAQ BECAUSE OF THIS ASSHOLE!

2. Returning to the streets is inevitable
Edited on Fri Jul-11-03 10:36 PM by Sliverofhope
The question is when do we want to do it? The sooner the better. Someone has to start, and hopefully others will follow.

I have connections to an antiwar group that can start planning this stuff. All of the groups who organized before the war should regroup and start planning again.

5. We also have to keep on the media
We need to step up emails and calls letting the media know we are not placated with fall guys taking the blame. Without media help, all the marches in the world won't help.

7. Absolutely!
E-mail, letters to the editors, but I know that soon we will be marching to underscore to the Congress that they are dealing with an upset populace who doesn't like being lied to.

6. Go marchers, straight to D.C. and NYC
This time the signs should read "Save The Troops" as well as "Impeach the Whole Administration", and please, no "We Told You So" signs. That just won't be productive no matter how mad we are.

8. How about MoveOn.org, or the Not In Our Name people?
I will send an email tonight (not that I have any pull, no serious connections there and I'm just another grain of sand...)

But I sure haven't seen anything yet from their emailings about any organized march. Don't know that they've jumped on this yet. AND THEY SHOULD!

Remember, guys, how much publicity was generated when the anti-war marches got rolling?

What we need is to stoke the publicity machine until this thing really takes on a life of its own. Right now, it's still tender and vulnerable like a new baby, and the Rovians could still contain it. We need to push it beyond their ability to spin and control.

I'm ready, too!

11. You're right.
And in the current climate, the media would cover that kind of protest like there was no tomorrow.

13. You are correct, sir.
Protest marches right now against Bush would have a significant impact. It wouldn't be clouded by war rhetoric. Can this be organized though? Do people care enough?

14. With all of the info
coming out lately and troops continuing to get killed, I would say now would be a PERFECT time. It certainly would be vindication for our side. Everything that we predicted is coming to pass, most notably no WMDs, no Saddam capture, huge quagmire.

I'm definitely in. Question is who has the contacts to make this happen?
