What about multiple major protests over election issues?

[kypper]

I know the media can ignore thousands of people protesting, but can it ignore them when they block the government? Has anyone protested in huge numbers straight on Washington DC, blocking any government activity whatsoever?

How about doing multiple protests in major cities all at the same time? New York, Las Angeles, Washington, San Francisco, etc. all at once against the fact that this commission is full of shit.

You don't even need people who believe the election was stolen... just those who recognize issues need to be fixed... NOW. It works in the rest of the world.

1. Million voter march------ >wink<

WAshington DC ---- maybe in August

[kypper]

2. What about earlier?

When everyone's meeting to discuss a very important issue, block anyone from going. Make sure the noise is loud enough to drown out the business. Show them who can REALLY shut down the Senate.

3. earlier? think logistics of getting the word out

100,000 would be nice but its gotta be HUGE--- so make it a mill

[kypper]

4. Wishful thinking

But the process needs to start ... and it needs to be during something important, such that it actually has an impact. The media can't ignore the government shutting down due to protest.

5. To start have a little protest in your home town

use that as a jumping off point--
1)County wide protests
2)state protests
3)Big mutha fucker in DC

6. You are dreaming...

...Once our guy quit...America walked away.

7. Our guy?

Quite honestly, I don't believe in the Democrat Party much more than the Republicans. There are documented instances of Democrats pulling the same fraudulent shit, just not on the scale the Republicans have in recent years.

The fraud needs to stop. Democrats and Republicans alike need to know that they're not above the people. Bush squatted after the 2000 debacle, and NOBODY DID ANYTHING. Any other country would have had him forcibly removed from power.

It's time it stopped being about partisanship and started being about rights.

8. I think it should have happened; now you have to time it right and

have a message that fits an occassion; like a Carter/Baker faux conference, a deadline for decision on machines, etc.
Have a message and look for occasions to get the message out

9. isn't there some sort of gathering in Kentucky this weekend? Very

right wing agenda?

[KaliTracy]

10. here it is..."Justice Sunday" -- some on the Right are gathering to

attack the Filibuster -- saying it is used against people of Faith in a huge Megachurch. Frist is going to be there.

Too bad we couldn't get enough people to counter/gather -- with signs like "SOCIAL JUSTICE STARTS WITH FAIR ELECTIONS"

"SOCIAL JUSTICE STARTS WHEN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT 4 HOURS IN THE RAIN TO VOTE"

"SOCIAL JUSTICE MEANS ALL VOTES ARE COUNTED"

"SOCIAL JUSTICE STARTS WHEN PARTISAN COMPANIES AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR COUNTING OUR VOTES"

etc....

BUT Wait -- Could there be a Counter Attack?

The right-wing frame is now complete and Bill Frist has signed on with Tom DeLay: "The filibuster was once abused to protect racial bias, and it is now used against people of faith." This is not just the nuclear option; it is the thermonuclear option. The implicit claim is that every religious person is a right-wing conservative. Filibustering against horrendous right-wing judges is repudiating all believers in every religion - and being racist to boot. The national campaign is on. Sunday April 24 is booked for national TV at a Kentucky megachurch and called "Justice Sunday."

We must respond. We will call April 24 "Social Justice Sunday." We must show that spiritual progressives are alive and well and willing not just to speak out, but to shout out. The Clergy and Laity Network and DriveDemocracy.org are leading the effort.

<snip>
....Drivedemocracy.org and the Clergy and Laity Network issued a press release and activated their coalition of sixty progressive religious organizations. We called upon every religious organization to join with us.
