OKAY DU..It's ACTION TIME! Go sign the Moveon.org petition!! Here's the link:

[in_cog_ni_to]

Send a message to Congress!


http://moveon.org/

http://pol.moveon.org/fightback/


Statement: I will fight back

The U.S. Senate just told you to sit down and be quiet. They passed a resolution condemning MoveOn.org and it has one purpose: to intimidate all of us who care about responsibly ending this war. They wanted to send a message that anyone who speaks unpleasant truths about this war will pay. To make everyone--especially politicians--think twice before they accuse the administration of lying.

We can't let that happen, so we're letting Congress know that they're not going to intimidate us. Can you sign on to this statement?

A compiled petition with your individual comment will be presented to your Senators and Representative.

I find it deeply disturbing that the DLC-type Democrats would help enable and participate in smacking 2 million of their own supporters in the face today. We elected you to change the course of this country, not waste time and political capital on stomping the free speech rights of 2 million of us. This was not a shining moment in American politics, and I swear I will devote all of my political resources to removing these Democrats so the people can have a party for a change.

Oh and Republicans, I've always got your number. It would be a cold day in hell before I vote for one of you anti-American imperialists, so don't mistake my anger at certain Democrats for love of you.

Kicked in $25.00 because I want to hear that Move-On raised a $100MM in response to this ridiculous vote in the Senate.

"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion."[

74. Done. Thanks! Recommended! My comment in the Petition:

The Senate should hang its head in shame today for its censture resolution attacking the people's right to free speech. They let Bush get away with his lies yet they attack MoveOn.org for telling the truth. For shame. 72 heads will roll when they're up for re-election.

79. Done! My note on the petition:

In November 2006 the grassroots worked very hard to get a Democratic majority in the House and Senate. Little did we realize we're still in the minority--a 72-25 minority in the Senate, in fact. So it looks like we still have a long way to go. I do have to thank you, Blue Dog Democrats, for your fund-raising efforts on behalf of MoveOn. They have been very successful so far.

The more signatures the more the congress knows we are all pissed off.

WHAT members of congress don't realize is this.....we the people elect them. And we the people can throw their butts out. I sent Amy Kolbuchar an email and chewing her out for voting for the resolution. I said, that you probably won't answer this, just like the other times. And that even Norm Coleman, who disagrees with me answers my emails. I got an answer. I didn't even read it. I tell you one thing if she doesn't change her voting record I will personally walk the state of Minnesota to drum up support for her opponent in the next election.

108. I signed the petition and donated.

I gave them $11. I was gonna give $10, but I thought about it and thought that I was just picking a round, convenient figure. After taxes, I make about $11 per hour. So I donated 1 hour of my time to Moveon. I wish I could afford more. Maybe if everyone that wants the troops out now donated an hour of their time we could get something done. Think about how much of our tax dollars that they take out of our payroll checks goes toward killing innocent civilians, getting our troops killed and wounded, destroying our credibility, enriching the oligarchs, and (worst of all) making the Idiots (R) happy as clams.

TROOPS OUT NOW! TODAY! NO MORE SENSELESS OCCUPATION AND WASTING OUR MONEY!

110. Signed with this added...

You, the Congress serve us, the people. You do not serve George W. Bush, the Neo-Con hawks, his puppet Petraeus or any of the multiple corporate war profiteers most of you seem willing to protect and are connected to.

The majority of the nation saw this dog and pony show for what it was. Bush trotting out one of his Generals, just as his did with Colin Powell, to lie and give a report his hawks had written (Petraeus didn't even write this report!).

Worse, Petraeus had made the rounds with Right Wing radio and TV shows as well as bloggers previous to this appearance selling Bush's idea.

If you think this man hasn't overstepped his bounds and crossed over from a General to a Political Tool, then time has come for you and all your colleagues to resign.

You were all naive and stupid enough to believe Bush's lies about WMDs to get us into this war when the largest protests ever assembled across the US and the World knew better and tried to warn you and you have fallen time and time again for the framing of this war and the for lack of a better word, evil plans of this Administration.

To Bush these troops are there to die. The only other purpose they serve is political cover and photo ops. That's it. He could care less about them.

Your ignorance to how he has held them hostage has helped us lose thousands of lives and your incapability to fight back and grow a spine will cost thousands more.

Those who profit off this war with their connections (see: Dianne Feinstein) should resign in disgrace and shame.

For those of you to buy the Right Wing/Fox News smear on MoveOn.org as something credible enough to condemn in the Senate when you can't even condemn or censure George W. Bush and his administration for repeatedly breaking the law, proves that the vast majority of you are not fit for office.

This is a government for the people, by the people, and OF the people. Not for corporate interests. And Not FOR George Bush.

They can't be bothered to support Jim Webb's (whos son is serving in Iraq) amendment on responsible rotation cycles for our troops, but they can spend American tax payer's dollars to support a resolution condemning MoveOn for an advertisement that reflects what most Americans are thinking? I don't want to shock any of you, but I'm starting to think our government isn't really all that concerned with our troops or the citizens of this country. Maybe an 11% approval rating isn't quite getting the message across?

134. My message to Sen Patrick Leahy

Respectfully, why was it necessary for Sen Leahy to vote along with the Republicans condeming the Mone-On ad re: Betrayus? Is the Senator afraid of being called on not supporting the troops? Why not refuse to vote on such silliness? I sent Move-On a $100 donation yesterday to show my support for their position and to encourage them to continue to FIGHT the repubs in Congress and the President. That donation would have gone to a Democratic presidential contender. No more. From now on I only support those who support my position, and the millions of like-minded citizens.

Sen Leahy was one of my heroes in the Senate. The operative word being "was." I look forward to his response. I am posting this message on all the progressive blog sites I frequent.

And finally, I flew from Los Angeles to Washington to participate in the Saturday demonstration and march on the Capitol. Too bad the Senator could not find the time to speak to the protestors. Every day my respect fot the Democratic party slips away.

Many thanks to Pete Stark for supporting MoveOn.org. I sent him a campaign donation in thanks for his courage and morality.

I am ashamed that she voted with the Obstructionists to condemn the truth. But I guess she likes all that war gravy that her husband brings in.

Is it the sense of the Senate that those of us who do not appreciate being lied to by the only general officer sycophantic enough to provide cover for Bush's folly have no right to express our desire for a true assessment of the military mission and exit strategy in Iraq? Is it the sense of the Senate that Admiral William Fallon should be censured for expressing the opinion that Petraeus is "an *ss-kissing little chickensh**"? Is it the sense of the Senate that Iraqis killed by car bombs or bullets to the front of the head are not worthy of mention when evaluating conditions on the ground?
It is my humble opinion that the members of the Senate had better get a sense for where the American people have come down on this, the biggest foreign policy blunder in the history of the nation. Or is Senate just an acronym for Shameless Enablers of Neocon Agenda Triangulating Everything?
