What are You willing to do to turn the tide….

[The Whiskey Priest]

What are you willing to do to stop the ascendancy of the right wing? What are you willing to sacrifice in the cause of progressive goals? Are you willing to commit your fortune and life to achieving a better world?

What concrete step would you be willing to take tomorrow? What commitment are you willing to accept tonight?

1. Yes.

I am working as many hours as is possible on local issues and candidates. Doing door to door right now 4 nights this week for a city councilwoman. Was volunteer staff on the last big city issue. I think most people here do the same. We have to.

3. Good for you

But, what is it you are committed too…..what would you give your life for to see that it happens?

9. Equal rights

and justice. Those are things I will work for. I will not leave this country as bad as it might get. Not trying to sound macho here it is just the fact. If putting yourself out there leads to bad stuff then I guess it does.

4. If you want it to happen

Then don’t worry about breaking the law.....civil disobedience.

5. Well, there's breaking the law, in protest ...

Then there is breaking a Federal law, in protest.

I've already done the former, I do not intent to do the latter.

6. Eugene Debs

To mention one.

11. I am not Eugene Debs. I wish I was, though.

A great, great man.

7. How 'bout you tell us what YOU are doing?

Maybe you can edit your original post to tell us all the things you are doing... lead by example.

8. Fair enough

At this point in time...I see nothing that is worth a commitment ...in my opinion there is nothing worth saving....I am only waiting for the ending act.

10. The ending act?

This sounds intriguing. :)
