I feel myself getting more angry. It feels good(Warning: Ranting Ahead)
You know for about a year I could feel myself getting more and more upset about the conditions of this country and it's involvement in the decisions of other countries. I was getting too flustered for politics and feared I might burn out and just decide to ignore everything. Instead, I decided to take a couple weeks off and try and loosen up a bit. Well, it appears I am back in the swing of things and getting less and less patient with our Administration. This time I'm not so worried about burning out. In fact I'm looking forward to getting more angry. Michael Moore said it best on the Daily Show: I think Liberals have gained some backbone this year. I couldn't agree more. I just hope it's not too little too late...

The upcoming elections, in my mind, are the most important elections in the history of this country. I may be wrong, being that I'm only 21 but, I see it that way none the less. More people need to be enraged with what is happening. I cannot wait til the elections come. For more protests to come.

I'm sick and tired of the Average Joe who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. Education is key. Everyone needs to do everything they can to help people understand EXACTLY what this admin is doing to the world.

People need to wake up and smell the fucking roses. We're not in Kansas anymore.

1. I agree wholeheartedly . . . .
We must be active this time . . . no sitting on the bench!! I live in Florida and I'm worried about no paper trail . . . they will steal this thing again without any conscience whatsoever!

LiberalVoice, I am very proud of you, for such a young person you are very wise. Please keep up the great work, we cannot get burned out, we must fight this fight with all we have. Please talk to more young people to help us with this very important election.

We must get these people out of our government. They don't care about average people, they are starving us out and keep us poor so we'll all join the military!! (See F9-11!)

Thank you again LiberalVoice and you have energized me in a way that an older person could not!! This grandma is going to fight!!

2. I wish I could stand shoulder to shoulder with you...
...but, I'll be doing my part here. More power to ya!

I have alot of friends here...mostly very liberal, some even republican. I never stop trying to change people. Even those that disagree with Bush, I try and get them fired up enough to go out and do what I do. I can only hope it's enough.

3. regarding F-9/11
we went to the 5:15pm show last evening, there were a couple of empty seats, and I didn't notice anyone leaving early

not sure if people are waking up or not but I didn't overhear anyone "bashing" the film as we left -- see link for more

4. If Bush is reelected
we won't have a country any more. It will be turned into a facist state.

I'm glad that someone only 21 is interested in what is going on. Our job is to make sure more folks your age-and mine-are registered to vote and go to the polls and get rid of Bush and his Repuke henchmen in Congress.

6. It's so great to hear someone young thinking!
My daughter has tried to talk to friends in her age group {20-28} and soo many say "What's wrong with *" it's frightening.

Apathy will get these kids killed and their children poisoned for generations to come, check out depleted uranium in weapons in Iraq:

Bless you Lib, and spread the word!!!
