1. Give us a time and place, and those of us that care will be there...!!

This man is so right on. Big problem = no draft. The American mantra "if it doesn't affect me personally, I'm too busy" It's true 110%. This country will sit on it's butt and do NOTHING forever. And we wonder how the Germans let Adolf get away with it?!! Joke of jokes!!

So long as we are NOT being threatened with the draft, higher taxes, restrictions on consumption, etc...we don't give a rusty F*CK!! This administration knew good and well how to cut the balls off this bull.

Give us a time, date and place..and I'll be in the streets. Just keep the dumb ass moron anarchists out of it. We don't need to bleed for their foolishness!

2. We have to take it to the streets...

like they do in France. The government should be afraid of us and not us of them. It's really too bad that nothing is going to happen. We won't gather together in a large enough group and march on the government and stop the gears until the government does what we the people demand. We are too busy buying crap from Walmart and going to church and dealing with our asshole kids and stupid jobs.
If everyone took the day off at the same time, that would get us some serious attention. IMO this will not happen and we the people won't do jack squat about the take over of our government.

3. No kidding I just saw SICKO - they do it superbly in France.

I've been to a number of rallies. I looked around to see many people just out shopping.
I went to Wash. DC to march with Cindy and I expected a much larger crowd. There's a march or something planned in September or October in DC which I plan to attend. Another example is like when I go to a bookstore etc. and see a bunch of huge SUVs - don't people know about global warming?

Do people not know, or is it that most people don't give a damn?
