I don't believe that Rick Warren should be a part of the inaugural, but I don't share the outrage directed at Obama that many folks do.

I do believe however that we should organize a series of protests that can have an impact.

Its obvious the press will be paying attention and we should all do what we can to take the next 30 days to make sure the entire world know that Warren is a bigot.

Let's be creative and effective. Rage feels good but its not going to be effective.

5. It's December, people are broke, I don't think that's viable.
That kind of demonstration takes weeks to organize.

9. But there are endless things we could do instead.
Turn off Warren when he's up.

Take a picture of our family and mail it to Obama. All of our families because they ALL are important.

Call all our reps and write to our media outlets.

Put up a sign in our windows and share pictures of those signs on the net.

Work on our network -- set a goal for recruiting allies by Jan 2.

Lots of things we can do. :)

6. Why not boycott, or protest the Inauguration?
I know I won't be watching it now.
