The U.S. Senate just told you to sit down and be quiet.

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.

PLEASE Sign the Petition!!!

Full petition text:

"I will not be quiet, I will fight back, and I will keep speaking out until Congress forces an exit plan for this awful war."

SIGNED!!!!!!!!!!! :grr:

1. The petition won't do a God-damned thing

The only solution is to replace the "Benedict Arnold Democrats" with real Democrats.

Right now, the only good Democrats in the 110th Congress are like Gilbert Gottfried on the set of Saturday Night Live during Jean Doumanian's regime - a funny guy in his own right, but at that point he was completely demoralized, even with friends like Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo on his side.

We have some serious housecleaning to do in the Democratic Party - we all know it, but not enough people are willing to roll up their sleeves and do the work.

[Breeze54]

2. Yes it will (put the fear of gawd in them) and

I signed anyway!!

Elections are coming!! Tell the Senate you mean business!!! :grr:

[derby378]

15. Despite my own feelings, I signed it earlier today...

...but you can't stop there. If you're not a precinct chair, look into becoming one. Or find out what you need to do to become a delegate to your state convention next year. We need to DU the Democratic Party itself - I've said it over and over, and sometimes we've come close, but we need to seal the deal once and for all.

[Breeze54]

24. Great advice!!

Thanks for posting that! :hug:

6. Bush is the real enemy.

Quit helping him.

[derby378]

9. Ever see that MATRIX movie?

It's kinda like that, and Bush is Agent Smith.

We don't need a leader. We need a Neo.

[razors edge]

11. "We need a Neo."

But we will end up with a Neo-Con, The money people will ensure it.

[derby378]

13. "You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold"

Wasn't it William Jennings Bryan who said that? In any case, I fear you may be right - but it's only gonna happen if we allow it to happen.

[razors edge]

26. I hope I'm wrong,

but I see nothing that points in that direction.

Housing market in the shitter, unemployment, dollar devaluation, loss of civil liberties without recourse.

The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury, that is happening right now.

I am not too worried about it though, Russia emerged from bankruptcy in a decade or so, lets hope we can build a better nation next time around.

Like Bill Clinton said in the movie "The Hunting of the President", we strive for a more perfect union, as our founders knew this one had flaws.

But all in all I think the founders were some damned smart students of history, and it would be a shame if all their efforts so long ago fail due to an uninformed populace.

3. Happy to sign...

K&R...

[Breeze54]

7. You are still cool!

:P

[ikojo]

4. Just imagine the hue and cry from the reich

wing had Clinton condemned Jerry Fallwell for selling the Mena Arkansas video on his show. The Republicans would have stood in lock step in calling for an apology.

Since the Democrats allow the Republicans to set the agenda they roll over and join in on condemning moveon.org.

5. There's no We The People in them. Who cares what they say anymore.

[Breeze54]

8. Share your outrage of them, WITH THEM!!

Let them know how sick you are of it all!!

Especially the rethugs!!

[Swamp Rat]

10. k&r

[Breeze54]

12. Hell yea!!! Great gif!!

:yourock: Swamp Rat!! :hug:

[Swamp Rat]

20. I refuse to let the fascist GOP 'frame the debate.'

[JeffR]

14. I just told the Senate to bite me hard

Seems they're not paying any more attention to what I say than I am to what they say.

[Breeze54]

17. Love your message to them!! ~~ LOL!

I feel the same way!! :grr:

But I was actually angry but polite with my message! :rofl:

[JeffR]

19. and fair enough, Breeze

a little more civility in this world would be welcome... I just can't bring myself to be very civil anymore.

[Breeze54]

23. I'm glad you didn't and won't sit down and be quiet!!

Hell NO!! I won't either and I love your message! ;)

They got my point and I wasn't very nice! LOL! :P

[Union Thug]

16. I wasn't a moveon contributor. until yesterday.

I guess if my electred representatives won't stand up to the american fascist party, then I'll need to support a group that will.

[Breeze54]

18. Right ON!!!!!!!! Woot!!

:hug:

:patriot:

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. The US Senate didn't tell me a god damned thing! I have a mind of my own, thank you very much!

And last I knew, I still have freedom of speech. :shrug:I won't be intimated by a toothless condemnation by the US Senate. You can crap your pants over it, but count me out.

[Breeze54]

25. They told you to shut up.

[OnyxCollie]

22. Done. nt

[Richard Steele]

27. 5th rec- to the "Greatest" page!

[Breeze54]

28. You are a true patriot, dicksteele!!

Thanks :patriot: !

Never back down!!

[robinlynne]

29. and somehow a lot of DUers agree.

edited to add: I mean agree that we should shut up.

[Breeze54]

30. Some do but most don't agree with that statement!

The 'some' that do agree with that being quiet statement are "the polite one's". (Their new name!) :P

The rest of us are mad as hell!!! :grr: :nuke:

[robinlynne]

33. Thanks Breeze!

[kineneb]

31. and I say to the Senate: go do something rude to yourselves w/ a plumber's helper!

The Senate can take their resolution and put it where the sun don't shine. I won't pay any attention to those over-paid bloviators.

signed.

Never try to out-stubborn a German(-American).

[dpbrown]

32. Signed - and donated

Congress doesn't represent me.
