You know I am in. It is all a matter of people saying "this far and no farther" and realizing that we are nearing the point where we have nothing to lose. Many are talking blithely about 2008 without a thought in the world as to what might be in store for us between now and then. If you think they put up barriers between the voter and the poll in this election, wait until you see the barriers between here and 2008.

Even if people think that there is no chance to overturn this stolen election - coup d'etat, really - they should know there is a value in fighting it, because we are building solidarity, developing organizational and communication skills, and increasing people's awareness. Most importantly, we are getting a head start on a struggle that is now inevitable.

We will have to fight them sometime and somewhere IMHO. I don't see them suddenly going peace-loving and humanitarian on us or abandoning their overt and express goal of ending the great American experiment in self-government. The longer we wait, the stronger they get and the more likely it is that any resistance can be nipped in the bud and that the eventual reckoning will be that much more unpleasant.
