I am ready to fight for Democracy in America.

After watching this http://bradblog.com/video/flvplayer/FlvPlayer.html?file=http://www.ameratsu.com/media/2006/0607/w3/courttv_crier_rfk_friedman_vote_060720a_320x240.flv&width=320&height=240&OrigWidth=320&OrigHeight=240

who is with me?

[havocmom]

1. Good tactic to consider: Don't telegraph your plans to Agent Mike

or his pals ;)

[lonestarnot]

3. LOL Just so Agent Mike doesn't get his panties in a wad,

I'm not advocating violence.

[havocmom]

15. You are in on the workings, but many who read DU are not old pros

at this and too often forget this is a VERY PUBLIC place ;)

[lonestarnot]

23. VERY PUBLIC! YEAH!

I love DU!

[koochman]

2. I'm there!!

It's time to reclaim our once great nation from the evil cabal that has hijacked her.

Hundreds of years we have worked to build our reputation and they have made us the laughing stock of the world.

[NMDemDist2]

43. welcome to DU koochman

:hi:

[Pacifist Patriot]

4. I'm so hopping mad I'm afraid I'm going to do something really stupid.

[lonestarnot]

6. No. Think before acting.

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. I do, which is why I feel paralyzed at the moment.

[lonestarnot]

11. Well wait for the paralysis to pass before doing anything "stupid"

Maybe the "stupid" will go away. :patriot:

[FUGW]

14. Dude get real, your probably not going to do anything.

I made a post a little while ago looking for help defeating Peter King. It got 1 vote (what ever that means?) and no replies. I know it has not been out there very long but I would have thought someone would say something. I guess it's just easier to blowviate on the web than it is to get your ass in gear and really do something. I am doing something now and I can tell you it feels great to be part of the solution. Give it a try.

[lonestarnot]

24. No one is going to respond much to your bullshit! Get to freepland

where you belong

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. LOL! You don't know me from Eve.

First of all, I'm not a "Dude."

Secondly, I'm about as active as it gets--for a mom with three small kids. I'm a Democratic precinct captain working on a local political campaign and a national political campaign at the same time. I'm on a speaking circuit about the separation of church and state. I've got my rep and my senators on speed dial and the editor of the local paper calls me if 30 days go by and I haven't submitted another letter. I participate in the local monthly peace rallies and speak routinely at both city council and county commission meetings.

Hey Dude! This is where I blow off steam so I don't do something stupid in real life. I'm sorry your post didn't get more than one vote and no replies but don't take it out on me. And don't make assumptions about people you know nothing about. Would you really like it if I assumed you were sitting on your ass doing nothing just because you're posting here? Back off, please?

5. There is nothing wrong with our country, it's the people running her

that are the problem. Anyone who thinks we should change the constitution for any reason hates America. Anyone who thinks one party rule is good hates America. Anyone who thinks questioning the president is Un-American hates America.

[lonestarnot]

7. Absolutely! Eyes open!

[Pacifist Patriot]

8. A quibble...

Anyone who thinks we should change the constitution for any reason hates America.

I would probably have phrased it this way: Anyone who thinks we should change the constitution to discriminate against any segment of our population hates America.

I can think of a few things that could be changed that would help rather than harm our representative democracy. I believe the amendment process is a good one and is indeed already part of our Constitution. So by your argument, anyone wishing to forbid change to the constitution would be changing the constitution and must hate America.

On example: I supported the ERA amendment.

Another example: I would support an amendment requiring a balanced budget

Another example: I would support an amendment forbidding the use of proprietary software in elections and mandating open audit of elections and requiring paper trails for the purpose of tabulation and audit.

[lonestarnot]

10. Wonder why

newbies attack these threads? LOL

[MissWaverly]

16. Oh, certainly but we haven't had much user friendly bills lately

what we need is reform, something to be done about the signing statements, we will need
to twist Dems arms to get them to push through comprehensive elections reforms, our elections
process is a real mess and the FEC needs to be tweaked so that it provides real oversight,
I am not talking about a Democratic Tom DeLaying of the mechanism but a change to weed out
wrong doing on both sides. And we need to make sure that FEMA's replacement actually works
and is not another confederacy of dunces.

[lonestarnot]

17. November is only 3 months away. What do you think can

be tweaked by then? With no power in the House, Judiciary, or Senate?

[MissWaverly]

18. you underestimate the power of desperation

Curt Weldon is embracing conspiracy theorists on 9-11, Arlen Specter is for stem cell research.
I can't wait to see what happens next. And a light has clicked on in the GOP brains that
maybe Iraq is not going so well after all.

[lonestarnot]

20. No desperation breeds chaos.

[FUGW]

19. Dude I'm going to work my ass off to get rid of Peter King.

I feel so fortunate that I live within striking distance of a GWB poster child and I live on long Island N.Y.. I am volunteering my time, $ and resources to defeating a rubber stamp vote for GWB. We are going to defeat King I just want the defeat to be as loud as possible. 70% to 30% would make me happy.

[MissWaverly]

22. please do me a favor, post a link to donate

I donated to James Webb and Ned Lamont, this week, not vast amounts but small winds move large
boats.

[FUGW]

31. I am just starting to formulate my strategy.

Some of the things I plan on doing can only be done by private citizens and not political campaigns. So I'm looking to see how I can get people to donate to me to help pay for the truck signs, lawn signs and diesel fuel. I don't expect anyone to give me money on faith so I am working on how to make this into something people feel comfortable enough to donate to. I figure I will have to meet with the people so they see what I'm doing with the money.
If you feel this is something you want to be part of you can Donate to Dave Mejias 3rd congressional district N.Y. directly the website is just being completed.

[MissWaverly]

38. thanks I would rather commit to his website

since I am out of state, but I do want to give. I have not forgotten Mr. King's announcement
that they won before Kerry was even nominated to be the candidate.

[FUGW]

40. No problem my friend, thanks for the help.

I hope I did not come across as if I wanted any donations from you guys. I am from N.Y. and would not trust sending my money to someone posting as I have. I am going to approach New Yorkers personally for help and if no one wants to help me I will go it alone. I figure I can make a nice dent in king with about $2000 and my time spent driving my truck and putting out signs.

[MissWaverly]

41. Go for it,

I wish you the best of luck with this.

[lonestarnot]

25. Well you best not marginalize the theft of VOTES here then!

[FUGW]

32. What do you mean?

[lonestarnot]

33. Did you watch the video in the OP?

[Pacifist Patriot]

35. I live spitting distance from someone so far up GWB's hiney he...

can see out of his eyeballs. I wish you the best of luck defeating King, but I have limited resources and I'm working my ass off in Florida to save my congressional district. Don't take it personally if you find people are more interested in their own districts.

[FUGW]

39. I'm lucky King is the last Rep. on Long Island, keep the faith brother.

[Pacifist Patriot]

42. Sister, Keep the Faith Sister! *grin*
