Democrats: Get Up and Walk Out
By William Rivers Pitt

t r u t h o u t | Perspective

Sunday 22 January 2005

MEMO
To: Congressional Democrats
From: William Rivers Pitt
RE: A bold maneuver


- - - -

I have a wild and crazy idea.

George W. Bush's delivery of the State of the Union address will take place on Tuesday, January 31, a little more than a week from now. It is my strong belief that every single Democrat present in the House chamber for the speech should, at a predetermined moment, stand up and walk out. No yelling. No heated words. Every Democrat should simply stand silently and leave.

Will, if you are asking for signatures, please add mine -- B Robert Franza MD
Thank you for having the wisdom to do this.


Peace.

I wish we could all add our names to it.

3. Then, when the MSM asks them about it say:
"No comment. The action speaks for itself."
