Looks like its up to us to fight hard for 4 years
While John Kerry is conceding, we unfortunately can not give up. We have four more years to fight. We can not let this man and his people plunder our environment, our economy, and our standing in the world without a fight. Our voices may be hoarse, but now we need to shout even louder. We need to let the world know that we will not lie down and let Bush have his way. We are watching, and we have to make some noise, now more than ever.

Without resistance, these next four years could cause irreversible harm to the country.

3. Good question
All we can do is keep raising the questions an dhope someone wiht heart hears us.

The only silver lining I can see is that if Bush gets to cocky, he may stir up the hornets nest himself. We desperately need some people in the media to grow balls and ovaries and start investigating this administration a lot harder now than they did these first four years obviously. That is an understatement.

9. I nominate myself as a leader,
and I nominate every other resister, too. We are in no way short of leaders. Just get up and lead.

That's how we've always gotten our leadership for change.

2. How can we fight when we don't have a voice?
White House, Senate, Congress, Supreme Court... All are now ruled by fundamentalist majorities too large to overcome.

Where is there a battleground on which to even stand anymore?

4. Someone will emerge....
.... when near 50% of the people are this angry, someone will hear the call. I am confident.

10. First of all, there's a big part of the country that overwhelmingly voted
against shrub. This is one base we have.

Then we have the international community, which in no way approves of Bush.

And then we have ourselves, and we have the truth. These last two things have often been all an oppressed people have had, and nonetheless they've prevailed.

5. Count me out.
Tired of having my ass hung out to dry by people without the commitment to see the job through.

8. Grassroots. That's all we have.

Which of our founding fathers said something about us needing a revolution every so often to keep our government honest & to change with the changing times?

Well, it's been awhile!

Let's go!!!
