My heart is hurting, and I feel so defeated.
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 09:13 PM by NewInNewJ.
I know that our Reps are going to the umpth degree with the Downing St memo and I am so proud of them, but I am just feeling that no matter what we do that the Anti Christ is in charge and nothing will change. What do we have to do to bring the Country to the fact that the Bushies are fakes , war mongers, etc? The Bushies are so in control. I know so many people personally that are against the admin. but they have given up hope and are going along with the status quo. Help, what do I do?

Do whatever you can to learn whos running in your area and start to volunteer now.

If we got Congress back, THINGS WILL CHANGE DRASTICALLY.

PAYBACKS WILL BE A BITCH REPUBLICANS.

3. Sweetheart, if you were there with me today
...you'd know that there *is* hope. It really was a turning point.

And I do believe your name *was* on the sign, so you were there.
Have faith.

4. George W. Bush is but a man.
And his administration is really only good at appealing to the least common denominator in society. Right has a strange way of conquering wrong in life. Sometimes it takes years, sometimes a lifetime. Equilibrium finds it's way.

7. this too shall pass
Thank God for what's left of the constitution... Bush's administration must come to an end, and we are all here with our sharp minds and desperate hearts. We may never know exactly what went wrong in the past, but we still live in a democracy and we still have the power to plan for a better future. Do what you can to build momentum before the primaries, before the heat is on. Let's start grooming candidates and getting the word out to the disenfranchised, and let's start today preparing our voters for '08...

8. Be patient.
I KNOW how hard that is but remember how long it took with Watergate. There are people working on the voting machine mess and hopefully as a last resort we can at least vote them out.

Remember this, even people who voted for Bush** don't like to be lied to. If we can push this out front we will win enough of them over I am hoping.

It is going to be a long, hard slugfest I am afraid but it is worth it. Take a break when you need and then jump back in. We will need to spell each other and cheerlead each other through this.

15. It's a big, big rock we're trying to move, here.
But you know, once you get (ugh), just the right (grunt), leverage on the thing, the whole thing (AAAA-AAARGH!) just comes a-tumbling down!

It's the constant barrage, man. Keep the faith! I've actually never been more optimistic!

20. Hang in there
Today was the sledge hammer hitting the wall for the first time, breaking the surface with a loud bang. It takes many swings of that hammer to bring down the house. If we all keep taking turns, swinging away, we will clear this lot and build anew. :hug:

21. How Could You Ever Give Up Hope And Go Along With.....
these bunch of scoundrels. The DSM is getting more and more play on the MSM; I'd much rather watch it continue on its slow calculated path as versus becoming another flash in the pan that goes away quickly. Good things always take time, be patient.
