How many know that John Conyers signed the WORLD CAN'T WAIT CALL?
so are their still DUers that think this is anti-democractic? Don't put too much hope on a scandal, or on the upcoming elections. Please don't wait and see. We have been trying- all of US on jere I'm sure have signed lots of petitons and made calls etc. I think we need for tomorrow to be big, the bigger the better. I believe it will help. there are so many issues and they all relate to the BU**SH** regime: human rights (many related issues) election fraud, the WAR, our environment and so much more.

Also David Swanson and the Progressive Democracts of America also a close afiliation with
http://www.notinourname.net/index.html Here is their pledge:

We believe that as people living
in the United States it is our
responsibility to resist the injustices
done by our government,
in our names

Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions
of blood for oil

Not in our name
will you invade countries
bomb civilians, kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless

Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for

Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil

Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us

Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil

Not by our will
and Not in our name

We pledge resistance

We pledge alliance with those
who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity

We pledge to make common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice,
freedom and peace

Another world is possible
and we pledge to make it real.

5. me too, and Ann Wright and .....
Between Ann Wright and John Conyers- and many other wonderful speakers I've heard. I think we should suport this movemtn to do something strong. Heck that other hread- the build up in Iran, we can't just think a sex scandal is going to bring Bush down, although it likely will help.
We certainly can't count on the elections- I don't mean not to vote of course.
We have to stand up strongly to bring them down.
