6. How?
mordarlar:
I trust the strangers here more than i trust some of our leaders. I hope and pray one will stand up for us, but if they do not, let us stand up for ourselves.

I can idenitfy with your desperation to find some kind of organization. As I said previously, I think it has to come from a major figure stepping into the MSM (and I'm afraid it's getting too late for that).

I guess I'm at a loss as to how we can step up for ourselves or how someone here could step up for us. Sure we can share info here and call, fax and email members of Congress but emails and faxes can be deleted and ignored. I think the average person is pretty powerless unless they come together in LARGE numbers. However it seems that marches in Washington have become so frequent that they really don't carry much weight.

I hate to be such a downer but I think it's the truth. I see alot of people here desperately trying to be positive and blowing sunshine up each other's ass. I think they're fooling themselves so they don't feel powerless and can retain some shred of hope.
