It's Time to Stand Up

Americans, that is, not Iraqis. We are well into "fitness to serve territory" and it is up to us - you and me and the rest of the country who feels like we do - to put an end to this insanity.

This president will never resign and we can not abide two more years. He is pathologically bent on a Revelations inspired vision of the world, bringing about Armageddon. His pathologies regarding the middle east dovetail nicely with the interests of his friends in big oil.

We have reached a point where it is undeniable. The campaign to remove this feckless leader from office starts NOW.

On January 27th, there will be a rally on the mall in Washington against this presidents plans to escalate our involvement in the Iraqi civil war. If there is any way possible that you can get to Washington, GO. If you can't get to Washington, attend a rally in your area. If you can't attend a rally, write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Write your Senator's and Representatives. Educate yourselves and talk to your neighbors and friends and co-workers. Don't just accept this.

America was not founded by those who meekly accepted their lot, and this American has no intention of meekly accepting her lot now.

My peers and I have changed the world before and I'm game to give it another go. We got a Nuclear Freeze and we ended Apartheid. We have had the playbook for years, and now we have the netroots, so what the hell is stopping us? Only our own inaction.

We had an election to set things right, and the president refuses to acknowledge it. We want change, we voted for change and he insists on giving us more of the same plus 20%. Bullshit. I won't abide it and neither should you. Our children are the ones who will pay the price for this folly. Those who serve will pay in blood and those who do not will pay the tab to China when it comes due.

The ramifications of this presidents actions are too far reaching and too universally against the interests of the American people and it is up to us to stop it.

It's time to stand up.
