Take a lesson from generations of black protesters - [View All]

[cyberpj]

Perhaps some of us here at DU are a little less than euphoric. Rally participation with uplifting speakers and cheers is always much more cheery and motivating than having to sit and watch politicians debate.

It was hard to sit here for hours and listen to people say there was absolutely positively no credible evidence of fraud after we've seen so very much of it here. That leads me to make my next task getting Conyers' 100+ page report out to anyone and everyone.

JUST GETTING THE CHALLENGE WAS A VICTORY!!! We need to celebrate that people!

Now we can work on changing some of Congresspeople we've seen AND getting the fraud proof out there.

One last point - we ALL need to take lessons from generations of black protesters and remember we need to be in it for THE LONG HAUL. Nothing about this is going to change overnight. No one knows better than every single person in the CBC how long the fight against big power takes. They're STILL fighting it and we've just joined in. Suck it up and keep working. Now's the time for letters to the editor, call-ins to talk radio, talking to friends and neighbors and people who had no idea there was so much trouble in Ohio, and most importantly - thank you letters, handwritten thank you letters, to the heroes who stood up today.

Ok. I'm climbing down from the soapbox now so I can start writing.

Peace.
