Remember the Orange Revolution??
The Orange Revolution was a series of protests and political events that took place in Ukraine from late November 2004 to January 2005, in the immediate aftermath of the run-off vote of the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election which was compromised by alleged massive corruption, voter intimidation and direct electoral fraud. Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, was the focal point of the movement with thousands of protesters demonstrating daily. Nationwide, the revolution was highlighted by a series of acts of civil disobedience, sit-ins, and general strikes organized by the opposition movement.

We will need a BLUE Revolution to keep them from stealing this election.

1. For this to happen here, we will need.....
...a LEADER who will stand in the streets and ask his People to stand with him until justice is done.
Most of the Democratic Party Leaders disassociate themselves from ANY sign or suggestion of protest.

How many Democratic Leaders will stand on the steps of the Capitol in DC if this election is stolen?
I would have joined Al Gore.
I would have joined John Kerry.
As it was, we were left milling around in the streets by ourselves without sanction, direction, or even acknowledgment from the Party we were trying to support.

The election protests in 2000 and 2004 were marginalized because they were shunned by the Democratic Party Leadership.

The footsoldiers (us) are willing and able by the millions to stand with our candidate, as we were in 2000 & 2004. It is the LEADERSHIP that is lacking the spine.

If Obama calls, will you answer?
I will.

6. CIA-backed, organized & staged
from the "color-coded" theme to the supply-lines of food for the protesters to the "simplified messaging"... and what does it tell you about the Internet that all vestiges of info regarding CIA involvement are 100% scrubbed from search engines?

5. Don't count on it.
It's way too easy to disrupt that kind of thing here.
