Fuck this shit...it's time for civil disobedience of the highest order |
|
I believe Kerry won Florida and Ohio. The fix was in with BBV. No, this is not a conspiracy theory. We all know how easy it was to tamper with those machines. We all know the exit polls showed Kerry winning Florida and Ohio.
I AM PISSED AS HELL!!! I am more pissed that there isn't a bigger stink about this. If Kerry really wanted to win, he would be investigating this!!!!
Okay, we need some ideas as to how to cause trouble if this isn't investigated. We need to organize a mass protest or something.

1. Which will accomplish what? |
|
Demonstrations have their place, but we could do with a few less demonsrators and a lot more "salesmen".
Well need that to take back the states, which is what we need to take back the country.

Write the media.
Write to activist groups.
Explain your concerns and ask them to take action and investigate.

4. I think you need to start thinking of sit-ins |
|
in Congress, around the capitol mall, the White House. Anywhere they can't ignore you. Remember the Hoovervilles of Hoover's administration. You just have to start making life unpleasant for the assholes without doing anything violent or that can be construed as vandalism.

will you TOLERATE the murder of a homosexual? How many times will you TOLERATE the murder of abortion providers? How many times will you TOLERATE the assassination of our political leaders? How many people like Wellstone must be murdered before it is understood that we are in a shooting war and THEY are doing all the shooting?
The great weakness of liberalism is that it often fails to recognize the potential for evil, even among itself. Freedom of speech does NOT mean you must tolerate agitprop for your extinction. NO quarter, for you will receive none.

10. Demonstrations and civil disobedience are pointlessly punitive |

and will only make us look like fringe radicals with an ax to grind. We need to forcefully normalize our point of view; it's not the facts but how they are presented. Goddamn it, they are the radicals, not us.
Not just the people that represent us in Washington, but every single one of us needs to integrate this fight into our daily lives, proudly expressing our affiliation verbally, visually, fiscally, in every possible way. We do need to educate the public and remind them that we exist, we are normal people like everyone else, there are many of us, and we are not afraid.
Furthermore, we need to target the people who supported Bush and hit them where it hurts. it is easy to search on the internet for which specific areas put this bastard back in office, and to find his major corporate and private contributors. We could organize a list of these for a DU/progressive boycott, or some other form of action against them. Refusing to participate in the American economy at all as previously suggested is extremely difficult, but doing so selectively may send a very specific message, negatively reinforcing everyone who chose these bastards.
