If African Americans are cheated again in Florida...I pledge |
|
to find this out and to stand by my brothers and sisters in protest Nothing shocked me more in F9/11 than that scene in the Congress. Nothing shamed me as much. Nothing political haunts me more.
I will not let that happen again without raising my voice, giving my money to fight it, and taking to the streets to protest. Not in Florida, not in Ohio---not anywhere in the United States. As an American I will not let the disenfranchisement of any American go without protest.
I'm going to sleep before a.m. poll duty. But, before it started, I wanted to say this. I hope that every decent caring and thinking American will join me.
Goodnight.

5. Isn't it terrible that we should even have to think about this? |

Its bothered me so much since I saw that film. If enough of us refuse to let these tactics stand we can atone for this.
What I could not believe was that as a (then) regular news viewer that I did not know this at the time and didn't know about the brave souls egging that inaugural limosine---now there were patriots!

6. I totally agree with the shock you felt during that |
|
scene in F9/11. NO ONE had the balls to stand up and defend the voters. It was disgraceful. And I will NOT have it happening again. I've already warned my husband that, if Bush steals the election, be prepared to bail me out of jail because I will HIT THE STREETS.

7. When I told my husband that, he asked who would bail him out |
|
so he could bail me out. That is what lead to the post---both of us apparently were thinking of that moment tonight. We vowed that we will never let it happen again without a fight against it. See you in Gitmo!

10. Just thinking about this is pissing me off |
|
I just saw KKKarl Rove tonight talking about how they're going to win Florida and I wanted to throw a brick through the television. He's such a fucking evil bastard. We may end up rotting in Gitmo but he FOR SURE is going to rot in hell.

The streets will be littered with dead KKK.
Is that too harsh?
Maybe I should calm my revolution down a bit...
