I have an idea...We need to be heard...

[Buttercup McToots]

I have an idea…We have to make ourselves heard…
I am sick and tired of listening to MSM and hearing them say that
The American people don’t care about what is going on in Washington.
That the only thing that the people care about is getting out of the war.
Yes we want to get out of the war…but we also want our government back. We want truth and honesty from our reps who we voted for. We want them to listen to our voices.
We want our civil rights back.
I am sick and tired of calling my senators and reps and getting phone operators that say they will pass on my message. I am tired of faxing and sending letters that probably go into the waste bin. I am tired of the form emails I get back from them.
The reps are isolated and don’t really hear us and I think they don’t want to.
How can we make them hear us?
We have to show them that we are ANGRY…We…The 4th branch of the government…We the people.
We must waken the sleeping giant and show them our might.

In the 70’s/80's we made them hear us by protest and march…but that was when we had journalists and reporters that were not tied to big money and big corporations. I don’t think it is possible to attempt that now. We would all end up in those camps they are building for us.

We need to do something that the MSM will report and our senators and reps will have to pay attention to. We have to do something that they cannot ignore. Something physical and visual.

They did it in UK. Remember Diana? The people of Britain forced the Queen to acknowledge the death of Diane when she refused to speak public ally.
How did they do that? Flowers…millions and millions of flowers and cards…so many that MSM had to report on it and it forced the Queen to speak.

How about this…Our reps are back in home states taking to those that they want to talk to. How about we pick a week b/4 they go back to Washington and plan a physical and visual message that cannot be ignored by anyone?
Come on…you guys did it with Helen Thomas…it made it into some media.
How about we surround the Whitehouse with lilies. That’s a death flower is it not?

I can see it now…miles of lilies with sympathy cards attached from all over the country.
The death of the Constitution…the death of Habeas Corpus…

Do it for 1 week b/4 they go back. So when they get back they will have to walk through it. It will be right outside as they discuss FISA…or maybe the statement will be so very loud that they will discuss impeachment instead.
Who is the White House Chaplin? Send him thousands and thousand of black cards mourning the death of our rights under this administration.

If it can’t be done at the Capital or the White House…maybe The Lincoln Memorial or the Washington Monument.
Somewhere.

What say you….any ideas about this idea?

2. Town Hall meetings

It's time we start showing up, big crowds of us, at the Town Hall meetings held by out congresscritters. Our Rep., Chris Van Hollen, (D-MD 8th) is pretty liberal, but I want to hold his feet to the fire on impeachment.

3. I think it has to be countrywide...

Like the protests and the marches were...

The Queen was FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PEOPLE!

4. Stop trying to rely on the corporate media. They will never be our friend. - n/t
