WE THE PEOPLE
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 09:18 AM by lynettebro440
I posted on here about a week ago when Cindy just started her protest in the ditch. At that time I was pumped and was ranting stating that we had to make a movement, we had to latch onto Cindy as our inspiration and take this country back. We had to have as many millions of people that can to fill the white house lawn, no excuses. Bring rock stars, Hollywood, I didn't care what it was but we had to keep the pressure on Georgie and his drones for as long and hard as we could. People posted back that we couldn't protest on the lawn, we might mess up the grass!!!! People it's time.

I just finishing reading a post from GOPFighter (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4384270&mesg_id=4384270 ) and it was brilliant and I would suggest reading it. After reading it myself I felt the need to post a continuation of my own feelings because folks, whether we are ready or not, we must fight. WE THE PEOPLE are a lot similar to the passengers on those planes that fateful 9/11 day. Those passengers on that plane were from all different walks of life, from every nationality and religion; they were both democrat and republican; they were all on that plane not because they wanted to be fighting for their lives but because they had to. Those people tried to swarm the pilots and take over the controls of the plane so it wouldn't crash on that day. Well we have a pilot at the seat of our plane that is taking us straight into those buildings; we MUST take over the pilot seats. We must take back our country. We MUST succeed.

We have all become aware of ALL of the crookedness that has continued on with this administration from day one and before (I truly know that his daddy was just as crooked, but not as spoiled). We have let repukes make us bow our heads in shame for so many reasons (it is the way they are). But now it's more then democrat or republican, it is about WE THE PEOPLE. Every single American citizen in this world is going to be effected by the total destruction it has caused upon our nation. We can no longer sit and be still. It is time, we MUST continue this to the White House lawn. We MUST make George so uncomfortable sitting in his/OUR house and thinking he can do what he wants. He has to come out sometime. Gather up all the people; make it worth their while to go to the White House for a vacation. Help feed all the homeless vets from both wars (yes folks we still have people living on the streets from the last time we got ourselves in this mess). Invite everyone; make it a party, a party of the PEOPLE. Every single person that saw the movie Fields of Dreams knows what I'm saying is true and that was in the middle of nowhere in my state of Iowa. People, we can do this. We finally, since 9/11 have the voices back and we need to scream, insist, protest, peacefest, annoy and you can fill in whatever other adjectives you would like to. But we must all begin to speak the truth and not back down.

Last night I shared some time with my son and his friend. I told them it is time boys; it is time to get your generation in gear. My generation of the 60's is finally being awakened again to remember what and how we took over a crooked administration (NIXON)! We have been silent for too long, we did not think that first this could actually be happening, instead we became silent. But now we can be silent no more, Cindy has become our inspiration and it has taken someone outside the underbelly of OUR White House to do it. I reminded my kids that a pissed off woman was the reason they can no longer drink and drive.

A week ago I was saying that we CAN do this. Today I am saying we MUST. We MUST do whatever it takes whether it is $10 from our very empty wallets, to standing on a street corner and yelling at the top of our lungs or to joining the never ending party at the White House. We MUST do it. We have finally wakened up the masses, now the big question becomes, how important is taking our nation back to WE THE PEOPLE. And George, those are the first three lines that every person of race, religion or creed remembers of our constitution. WE THE PEOPLE. It's time folks. Cindy has built it now we must come!

2. Just heard on the news--another 4 soldiers killed in Iraq. Yep, it's time!
We the people can overcome. Let's do everything you've suggested, PLUS, let's throw the bastards out in 2006. Let's take our country back before it's finally and utterly too late.

4. Thanks Distressed
That was my first attempt at taking on the enemy. The last line of that post was so priceless I almost wet my pants. Not too bright, and way fun to play with. Thanks for the help you gave me also on that site. That was way fun.

lynettebro440, you hit the nail on the head.

It IS time we take back our country.
It IS time we care of our veterans.
It IS time we stop the war against the less fortunate among us.
It IS time we force every citizen and corporation to pay their fair share of taxes.
It IS time we punish traitors in the government.
It IS time we hold our government accountable for their actions.
It IS time we make government agencies tell the truth.
It IS time we require all our leaders tell the truth.
It IS time we have a representative government again.
It IS time we enforce a Bill of Rights for the common citizen.
It IS time we protect our Constitution from domestic enemies.

In short, it IS time to hit the streets.

:kick: & nominate.

7. Great post, lynettebro!
So many of us on the same page -- it makes me indescribably happy!

We are going to succeed this time.

Cindy's quiet resolve and determination in speaking TRUTH to POWER has unleashed something that can never be turned back.

8. We are pumped!
August 2005 will go down in history as the month the tide turned against the corrupt, arrogant, plutocratic Republican party.

We owe so much to Cindy and Casey, who will never hug or be hugged again. Nothing I can do to make our country better will ever compare to what they lost. WE MUST TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK before more lives are lost forever.

Thanks for the inspiring post, Lynettebro440!

9. Check out the September 11 forum
WE THE PEOPLE are a lot similar to the passengers on those planes that fateful 9/11 day. Those passengers on that plane were from all different walks of life, from every nationality and religion; they were both democrat and republican; they were all on that plane not because they wanted to be fighting for their lives but because they had to. Those people tried to swarm the pilots and take over the controls of the plane so it wouldn't crash on that day.

A lot of folks would disagree with you that this ever happened.

11. I agree
But the sheep believe the story and it's what got us in this mess to begin with. I will use whatever anology I can to help make the mass of the sleeping people become awake again.

12. Good God, are you serious? I knew things were desperately, dangerously
BAD. Like many here I've known it since W was first put forth by the big boys as GOP candidate for prez, and then gained as much ground as he did with their backing. Even though he did not WIN the highest office in our land, he was forced upon us by those already in power behind the scenes and with the Supremes' meek compliance.

But I would never have guessed that ANYONE doubts the life-or-death struggle of those passengers over the Pennsylvania field! They saved so many lives, at the cost of their own, and so much more turmoil than occurred as it was on September 11, 2001. If that fourth plane had flown into the Capitol Building or any of several other key locations, how much worse might things have been that day?

I'm glad this is being brought to our attention, thank you!

:thumbsup: ~VV
