2. I posted this on that thread but it applies here also.

Whats wrong with liberal and Democratic organizers that they pick the worst day of the week to hold a rally!!!!! SUNDAY OF ALL DAYS!!!!

We need a movement with some teeth here people. We also need organizers that are much more savvy about the media!!! Monday afternoon rallies are much more effective. It gets the attention of the media and most people on their way home from work will join up!!!!

Whos around Boston Common on a Sunday to view a rally? Not the CEOs and board of directors of any companies in town. Not the media who spends the day in bed. Not the students who go home for the weekend.

I am glad to see people organizing but in order to that we need to be ORGANIZED!!!!! The previous Sunday garnered only 300 people and that was with the appearance of Howard Zinn. Weekdays are much more effective.

I hope that people remain relentless though because thats how you win. We need more people to fight on other fronts as well. We have the Republicans on one side and idiots in the DLC that want to become Republican lites. AL FROM SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!!!!

Three things we need to do over the next four years

1) Tell the DLC to stop moving to the right. Tell them to get a message with some balls and to stop conceding to Bush's wishes. Thats just death on platter and these elections are proof of that.

2) Keep up the rallies!!!!! Just pick a better time and day besides 10 AM on a Sunday morning in December.

3) WRITE THE MEDIA!!! Republicans hound those clowns and it works. They dont get many to do it but just enough to remain effective.We can get more. Write one letter a day!!!! It only takes five minutes (dont use form letters provided to you by mass marketing political movements. Editors are very good at weeding those out.)


Oh yeah!!! I almost forgot. Make that four!!!

4) we have elections in two years for senate seats local state legislatures. START GEARING UP NOW!!!!!!! those tiny victories will add up. I know its hard considering that the DEMS seem to lose elections on purpose and work against their base at the same time.

Remember this.....

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE!!!!!!!!!!

3. Monday rallys are great for those that live in the city they are held

but I no longer live in Boston. If this rally had NOT been on Sunday, I would not have been able to attend at all.

The Common was very busy on Sunday, just in case you weren't there. There were many, many people out strolling, walking to go shopping, visiting the rink, heading to lunch and other functions. The rally got some attention. Not as much as I might have liked, but people did walk by to see what was happening there. We are the movement and any exposure we got on Sunday was good. And, I doubt that any day in December would have gotten more attention than we did this Sunday anyway.

Glad to see the fire in your belly, now get out there and organize something yourself and show us how it's done then.

4. Great pics!

I especially like the one with the "how to steal and election" poster and the one with the little girl holding the free the panda's sign.
