Total Recall (of our rights), And What Is To Be Done!
Edited on Wed Oct-08-03 02:18 PM by Lori Price CLG
Total Recall (of our rights), And What Is To Be Done! --by Michael Rectenwald "The country is under siege. With the recent accession of California into rightwing territory by means of the purchase of the governorship, we are now nearly the completion of the project of a 'Total Recall'--a total recall of the rights of citizens to government of, by and for the people." http://www.legitgov.org/mike_essay_total_recall_of_our_rights_100803.html

Special new CLG egroup formed today --An open invitation, but all new members/posts will be vetted due to the nature of the group.

The time for liberal activism as it has been conducted to date is now passed. Illegitimate elections have now become the rule, not the exception. With corporate interests embedded in the election machinery itself, and those corporations served by rightwing interests, the chances of fair and true elections are dwindling and perhaps already gone. We know what the majority wants, but voicing alone it will not obtain it. Instead, our will is over-ruled by those of the few.

Furthermore, the media is also under rightwing corporate control, and those media serve their own interests and those of the government officials who represent them, and not the people. Likewise, the voice of the majority is drowned out. The age of political persuasion by means of dissemination of ideas alone—protests, petitions, letter-writing, influence of all kinds—will obviously not bring us to our goal. The only hope that remains for legitimate government—government that represents the majority—is akin to a revolution. We must take back the government, by whatever means necessary.

This board was established for those who agree with the premises stated above, and plan to move into the realm of tactics, rather than argumentation.

Post tactical ideas here. We must undo the Coup!

Michael Rectenwald, CLG Founder
Lori Price, CLG Chair
