Does everybody like the term "Boxer Rebellion" or do you want a |

different one?
I kind of like it but the Republicans are using it which makes me a little nervous.
What does everybody think?

11. I think they are using it to focus a narrow beam on the issue. |
|
They will try to turn it into a "handful of malcontents." This is something that needs a much better all-inclusive name. Something that both Democrat and Republican voters can identify with. It's not about getting John Kerry into the White House. It's about getting any legally elected official into their position lawfully and transparently.

4. gives her too much credit for joining a movement in motion |
|
Conyers and Jackson deserve the credit.
The green party.
the PDA.
Don't use one person's name.

It works for me.
The Boxer Rebellion is just like a few rag tag Patriots who stood on Lexington Green against the powerful British Army all those years ago.
The important thing is that it has started and we will win. The internet, the Constitution, and the truth are our weapons.
We have to frame the debate as Right vs Wrong. Not D v R and so on.
Conyers has the goods and the repugs and fox news knows this. So expect a MASSIVE disinformation program from them.
"The Boxer Rebellion" it works for me.

Haven't we learned anything from the Repugs? Whenever they want to reframe an issue/election and the Dems look like they're winning, they just hijack the issue. Let's do it their way on this one. It has quite a ring to it.

This goes way beyond one senator, albeit a courageous one. I think the name marginalizes the representatives who did the long hard work prior to today. It needs a more encompassing name that is descriptive for average Joe to figure it out.

12. The name doesn't matter |

It is results that count. Flip Flop stuck w/ millions of brain dead bush supporters so let us use this catchy phrase to help us.
