I have a dream.............

[Joanne98]

That during the next three years, three great movements will be "born again" slowly growing in size and strength and then coming together in the summer of 2008 for the biggest "Peace, Truth and Justice" RALLY the world has ever seen. The three movements are....

The NEW Civil Rights Movement.....brought back to life by young people outraged by the selection of John Roberts to the Supreme Court and the movement conservatives coming attack on the Civil and Voting Rights ACTS. The passing of the torch of Martin Luther King to a new generation of YOUNG African Americans. I believe we saw the first march just happen in Atlanta....

The NEW Peace Movement which is being born right now in Crawford Texas, complete with Iraq war yets able to be there for the first time. I believe this will be picked up by college students who clearly see an agenda of endless war and a bankrupt country. Millions of young people who know they have to take their future back by any means possible if they are to have a future at all.

The NEW Women's Rights Movement, spurred on by the selection of John Roberts to the Supreme Court and the overturning of Roe vs Wade and Movement Conservatives attack on Reproductive Rights for women. I see millions of young women bringing back the Equal Rights Amendament and this time getting it passed...

I see all good causes around the world coming together for a "showdown with evil" creating a massive movement filled with the energy of a Super Nova..That will KICK RIGHT WING ASS permanently and FOREVER.... A movement that will literally be the dawning of a new age....It believe it could happen....I really do..

4. They'll be there in the Justice section. But I think the Supreme Court

and the attack on our rights wiil be the catalyst bringing back the civil and women's rights movements to then merge with anti-war. It's going to be an all out war with the movement conservatives who's most active faction is, of course, the conservative evangelicals.
They are the ones that will cause the backlash with their outrageous behavior.....

2. On that note - the Globe & Mail made light of the fact that people

would not have followed MLK if he had said "I have a vision statement".

Not related but I thought it was wise at the time.

Will look for that commentary.

5. I'm reading, "What's the Matter with Kansas" It's giving me insight

into how far the Christian Right is willing to go. There's going to be bigtime backlash when people finally wait up and I can see the beginnings of that. Everybody should read it. It just came out in paperback. It's pure genius....
