I'm not sure what action to suggest. I'm taking the actions I think we've always taken. Before the war started, I hit the streets to protest. Since then, I've moved to an area where protests don't happen, unfortunately (and no, I don't feel safe starting a one woman protest in these parts - I got enough scary crap for my bumper sticker one day). Recently I donated to Obama's campaign. Most often I pick up the phone to call various Congressional reps and ask, "Why aren't you taking care of (issue)? What do you plan to do about it and when do you plan to do it?" Last week, I picked up the phone to call Dennis Kucinich's office to say, "Thank you." I don't know how much good it does, but the thank you, in particular, made me feel better.
