Enough of seeing the Constitution trashed? Enough of the corruption? Enough of the war? Enough of the gutless response of our elected Democratic representatives?

WesClarkJr's diary :: ::

I don't think our reps read our e-mail or listen to our phone calls. Hell, they didn't even listen to the 2006 election in which we told them to stop the war. Scooter Libby is the last straw and I'm not going to take it anymore. I've had enough.

Cenk Uygur and I were talking this morning about what to do. We've decided it's time to tell America we've had enough. We'll be standing outside the Federal Building in West L.A. at the corner of Veteran and Wilshire for one hour this Sunday. If you'd like to join us, just wear a t-shirt or bring a sign that says you've had enough.

If you're not in L.A., just go to whatever the most common protest site is in your home city with a shirt or sign that says you've had enough from noon to one p.m. this Sunday. You don't have to march, chant, play drums, pass out pamphlets or build puppets (not that we're against those things). All you have to do is stand there with one word: enough.

Cenk and I don't care if we're the only two people there. We don't care because the next Sunday, each of us has pledged to bring two more people with us, and we'll ask them to make the same pledge. And we'll keep standing out there every single Sunday, doubling our numbers, from now until we've got so many people with us that we cannot be ignored.

So how about it? Have you had enough? Will you stand with us?

Cenk posted this in the comments:

We're also very much encouraging you to do this in your local hometown, too. Organize it in anyway you like. You can do it through here at Daily Kos or through our website, through your local organizing websites, ask Move On to get involved, anything you're comfortable with.

Just pick a place for Sunday in your hometown and show up. That's it.

Hope to see you there.

Wes, Jr. in comments in reply to someone who expressed reluctance to get out there on their own:

Come on...

Do it. Just wear a t-shirt that says enough and stand someplace in your town. See if anybody asks you what you've had enough of. Don't ask then to sign anything. Don't pitch them a candidate. Just tell them you've had enough of the the corruption, incompetence and lawlessness of this administration. Ask them to join you next Sunday in the same place, and bring a sign or wear a t-shirt.

I grew up in Colorado Springs. I understand what it feels like to stick out in the Republican hinterlands. But if I lived in Colorado Springs right now, I would go to Acacia Park this Sunday at noon and stand there for an hour. Trust me, nobody is going to harass you or beat you up (they'll all be in church).

It's asking a lot but the alternative is the continued erosion of our republic and more wars.

Please. Let people in your city know that you've had enough. Take a picture of yourself and send it to us and I'll have Cenk post it on the Young Turks website.

Please do this. Pledge to yourself to bring two more people with you the next Sunday. You won't be alone for long. There is nothing to be afraid of. You can help save this country.

Anyone in Incline Village who wants to stand with me? One hour each Sunday, 12-1pm.
