This one's for Wellstone

[grasswire]

If you're scared, or tired, or worried or..........

Remember his slogan.

Stand up. Keep fighting.

Stand up. Keep fighting.

Stand up. Keep fighting.

Stand up. Keep fighting.

I wonder why his kids aren't campaigning. They could help a lot.

[Guaranteed]

1. Yup.

Doing it for Wellstone.

2. I believe the Wellstones are campaigning.

Why assume they aren't?

4. Get up, stand up ... stand up for your rights ...

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Preacherman, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah!

Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (Oh-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (So we can't give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (Lord, Lord!)
Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it up!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Don't give up the fight! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! ( ... )
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! /fadeout/

5. Wellstone's kids are working very hard.

They are training people to do as Paul did, to stand up - and keep fighting! They are working to "...help continue the work of their parents by training a new generation in progressive, winning politics." They have also delivered a massive get out the vote campaign.

"The people of this country, not special interest big money, should be the source of all political power."

Paul Wellstone (1944 - 2002)

P.S. I wore my Wellstone button to the Kerry rally in Wakefield, Ohio, yesterday!

On edit, a myriad of errors, from spelling to making sure the link works!

6. standing up

Maybe if I hadn't seen so much hard feelings
I might not could've felt other people's
So when you think of me, if and when you do
Just say, "Well, another man's done gone"
- Woody Guthrie
