This is a FIGHT for DEMOCRACY! If you are in then STAND UP!
We aren't fighting to OVERTURN a election. We are fighting for democracy. We fight because we believe in the rights of people. We fight to have a fair election. We fight because we believe in people being equal. I will STAND UP AND FIGHT will you?

10. "Halt and Audit"
"Prove My Vote Counts, Now"

Yeap; we are going to make this stick, now.

And, please give me your thoughts on the proposal for 'making history together' that I'm preparing to send to Senator Kerry:

11. Ways to fight
We have peaceful protest! We know the news media won't cover it so we bring our own cameras and then tape the footage. We take photograhs and spread them.

We have sit-ins and other peaceful movements. We fight but we fight peacefully. Let Martin Luther King inspire us because I also have a dream that one day every man and woman will be able to vote without oppression.

I have a dream that we will have a America that is run by the people and for the people. I have a dream that one day there will be a time when war is not needed.

15. Where do we meet?
When?

I am too old to lead such a battle. But not too old to join in.

We must stop TALKING about it. We must take action.

Does anyone think that the ukranians blogged for a day or two to get organized and then hit the streets? Hell no. Same goes for the spaniards after their train attacks. They didn't know anything BUT to hit the streets.

And here we are on our computers.

Where and when?

17. start at local levels
Set up community meeting grounds. Then post dates of protest and sit-ins on here. If you start locally then you can build up a grassroot. Democratic Underground can be the meeting place that lets everyone know when a sit-in is going to happen. We can also set up donations for local area grassroot websites. These can house photos of the sit-in or protest.

By starting small we build up a larger network of grassroots.

20. don't just follow the leader but add ideas and be a free thinker
Your input is just as important as mine is and the only true leader the American people have is themselves.

22. I'm in for the long haul...
#1 idea....

Maybe boycott repub businesses.. Most of the big state economies in our country are blue states. We need to somehow take advantage of the power we have in these states. The red states are spread out with less population per square foot but still have major expenses to deal with in their economies. For example if we could get the people in the big cities in blue states to start boycotting all at once we could make a real difference. Lets say we all cut our cable off at the same time like February 2005..I think that most of the profit made by big companies are in blue states not the red ones.. Lets say if we could take away 5-15 percent of their total revenue across the country it would make a real impact because that 5-15% would be the profit they make..Take their money away with all kinds of boycoting..

#2 another idea

Expose them for who they are..We are all humans and we make mistakes but it seems like Dem's are the only people held accountable..Just look at Rush Limbaugh.. If a Dem would have traffic in all those pills they would be in jail. Tons of examples of this type of hypocrisy.. Here is one example..The gay right amendments were used as a wedge issue to divide the country and help repubs..They used the hate of gays to mobilize their voters. But the repubs have many gays in prominent positions like the new rnc..Wow do all their voters know that. We should start sending their voters & churches all the info we have on their gay members and expose them..Kinda like when the repubs where bashing Clinton for being immoral for his affair..As soon as Larry flint and a few others started exposing the repubs for their indiscretions it all went away.. The repubs stop cause they had skeletons in their closet they did not want exposed..

Some people may feel dirty doing some of this kinda stuff but you must understand something..Its like when you are faced with a bully. You can roll over and take it and give them what they want (ie our Dem leaders now) and things will never change.. But when you stand up to a bully most of the time they fold and walk away.. And if you do get into a brawl with then next time they will know they have a real fight on their hands..Most of the time they just move on cause they want to bully people who fear them and do nothing..

Both of these methods to force change are legal and can be done in a professional way.. We must fight back before the only way to safe our country is throw force and civil war.. Don't fool yourself because how many bogus wars, stolen elections, civil rights and other constitutional rights will be taken away before some people decide to take up arms.. Its closer than you think...

26. THIS IS THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES
This is the hour when not just our country, but the world desparately needs us as much as it did before WW2 and the American Revolution. An insidious cancer has spread through our great nation and we must defeat it or we will have failed all of those who gave their lives for this country before us.

I am standing and I will fight.
