1. It is cowardice if they didn't do what was asked.
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 06:01 PM by Carolab
Many of those who bothered to stand didn't carry the full message.

What is that? Is that courage to you?

2. Sun Tzu asserted that every battle is won or lost before it is fought and
he stressed the importance of preparation.

Today, no matter how long the battle, WE WON.

3. They didn't follow the "battle plan".
Which was to object to the certification. It was made quite clear.

4. That wasn't the battle plan.
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 06:03 PM by FreepFryer
The plain was to raise the objection, not sustain it.

5. No, they were specifically asked to OBJECT.
That was clear to me.

6. I thought the plan of todays battle was to be heard.
There are many, many battles to come. We simply cannot sway like this every time we do not get an immediate result. Please do not diminish what so many wonderful people did today. We MADE HISTORY!

7. I am not diminishing what the grassroots did.
Nor am I diminishing those who did what was asked of them.

As I understood it, we were asking them to OBJECT. Every time I wrote or called, and when I met with my senator's aide, this was clear.
