Reading the paper, watching the teevee, going to the internet
I believe after a couple more revelations of wrongdoings in this misadministration, that we are going to pick up and take our asses to washington dc and demand accounting. I like many others can't afford too but I'm starting to feel I have no other choice. First things first.

1. At what point....???
At what point will the vast majority of us..not just DUers, but rank-and-file Democrats, moderate Republicans, soccer-moms and dads, students ...all of us...get up off our collective ass and make the march?

What's the tipping point?

The goal (or tipping point) seems to keep getting moved back....the just one more thing... moment keeps getting worse.

When?

What's the I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore! moment?

2. And what makes you think they'll listen to ANYONE?
You could put a MILLION PEOPLE in the streets of DC and the pigs will STILL say THEY are RIGHT and WE are WRONG, SO THERE, NYAH.

Exercise your second amendment rights, and lay in some canned goods. It WILL happen eventually. It ALWAYS DOES.

4. My elderly father recently went to MickyDee's to eat breakfast
with the local peanut gallery, the night after Gore's speech.
These folks were red hot and wanting to kick butt.
He said he'd never seen that bunch this angry.
They were asking each other, "What are we going to do? We've got to do something!!!"
Now, these are retired people in a blue oasis in TN, that is getting even bluer.
If they see the need for action, way off in the sticks where they live,
then the time is here to take action, imo.

5. Our party has shown us they won't stand up and do what is right
The time is fast approaching for us to start a march, a serious march. With each passing day democracy is getting farther and farther away.

6. I'm still in favor
of a National, general strike....people won't have to spend money on travel and it requires that they only "do nothing" on that day.....
