Don't Know What To Do? Here's a First Step
It's just a small one.

Okay, questions of vote fraud notwithstanding, Americans supposedly want this guy, and all that he stands for.

That so many didn't even bother to vote gives tacit consent.

So let's call a spade a spade everyone.

It's not social security reform. It's social security privatization, and it begins now.

People apparently don't like the term privatization, nor the idea. Well, they just got it. It's time to inform them of what they wrought.

Be dispassionate about it. Likely some will be happy to hear about this. Some really did want this.

It's not time to be acriomonious or say "I told you so." For those of us who enjoy such things, that can come later.

But it's time to inform those in the non-reality based community what Bush stands for, and the time is now.

Social security privatization begins. Especially tell seniors who voted for Bush.

Do not be acrimonious. Let buyer's remorse set in on its own.

The time to start getting the truth out is now.

1. You could also ask why Bush is afraid to go after Roe V Wade
even after his great victory. I'm sure millions of his fundie supporters have to wonder why he isn't already out there stumping for delegalization of all forms of abortion, across the board.

They gave him an unchallenged victory and a clear majority in both houses of Congress. He'll soon have a chance to appoint SC justices.

To people who beleive abortion is murder, Bush's failure to act right away and up front has to be seen as a rank betrayal.

2. That was actually my #2 thing to do
But it's more controversial. A lot of people are extremely passionate about women's rights and would not be happy to hear such an idea. All in good time, though.
