So...I was thinking about those 300,000 protestors this past weekend, |
|
and thought, "What if each one of those protestors had donated $10 each to the Progressive Patriot Fund, instead of protesting?"

It was mostly the HR bill that made them all felons.
Think about it. What would you do it the House passed a bill that made you a Felon?
Then think about all the bills the Dinos and Republicans have attempted to pass that make file and music sharers felons.
Have you ever traded an MP3 or a movie? Then these bills make you a worse felon than a child pornographer.
In my opinion, we need to join them on the streets.

10. Spend your gas money and travel expenses on activist causes |
|
Great Idea!
This really puts contributing to the cause in perspective.

Since I bothered to be there, I was thinking "what if everybody who was sitting on their ass at home gave $10 to the DLC"?

4. What if every checkbook liberal... |
|
...took their politics to the street. The progressive movement needs both financial help and activism. In many cases, if not most, it's the same people doing both.

5. Remember what Bill Moyers said |
|
For 10 dollars a year we could remove private funds from campaigns altogether, winning back democracy.
