"Let Them Go! Let Them Go!" protest ?

[jenn1977]

I keep watching the clip of Geraldo Rivera on Hannity & Colmes. I just can't believe it, so I keep watching it. Rivera chanting "let them go!" and crying! "Let them walk out of here!"

I live in CA. I'm willing to head out there as close as we can get and park it - just like Cindy. Chant "Let Them Go!" Hold up our signs and demand that they let these starving babies, mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers, uncles, aunts, grandmothers, grandfathers, cousins, HUMAN BEINGS WALK THE HELL OUT OF THERE. At least the ones that are able to, and we can try to meet them with as many supplies as we can get to flood in. They are holding our fellow citizens captive and forcing them to live in the most hellish of conditions, without giving them any reassurance of when help WILL arrive. There is no excuse.

We keep saying how much we need to take it to the streets. I think the media will cover this one you guys. And we really really need to back up the Black Caucus, don'tcha think?? We CANNOT let this opportunity pass us by.

It's a matter of life and death.

I'll go, I swear I'll go to wherever - but can we get something coordinated?! Let's make ourselves seen AND heard!

1. Yes, I will go. Baton Rouge seems like the place.

2. or would this come off as a distraction from the relief effort?

because my intention would be to help.

3. Saddam looks like Santa Claus compated to George Bush at this point.

That's genocide. They have trapped those people in there and they are starving them to death while they rush in supplies to the state next door that isn't under fucking water. Damn them to the bowels of hell for this. It's genocide. :mad:

4. so will you go? can you go?

5. I'm a thousand miles away. I wish I could. I really do, but

protests are already happening. They are happening inside that place and no one is doing anything about it. I wouldn't want to bother with another protest. I'd try to build up enough people to bust through the damn armed guards and free those people. That's the answer. Those people ARE protesting. Nothing is being done to help them. I can't even think.

6. me neither. sick to my stomach all week.

but it's felt like one long neverending day

7. I say we need a "Million Car March"

With "Let Them Go" Signs on ours windows. The media would have no choice but to cover that.

I just hope whatever we do is within 24h-48hrs. Time is already running out.
