What do we do now?

[jdog]

I've been protesting, emailing, writing letters etc. Anybody have any thoughts on where we should focus our attention now? Should we keep donating our money, if so, to whom? Should we try to go to Ohio? Should we email Conyers (have already a couple times)? I'm no slouch and I WANT to keep working on this, but I'm not really sure what to do now, and think it would helpful if we could all somehow get on the same page. Any ideas?

1. I wonder

If it's not time to get ourselves to OH or DC and start showing up in force.

I live in pittsburgh PA .. not too far from OH (youngstown)

3. Go to RedefeatBush.com

They have a lot of ideas and hold protests about every week in D.C. (I went to one a couple of weeks ago, even though I don't think there's any hope).

There are also a lot alternative inaugural events coming up. Look I think we should be realistic about the outcome to all this, however, that doesn't mean we shouldn't take to the streets.

4. We've

emailed, written, called, waited for news.

MSM seems to need a damn good push to show the rest of the "mandate" population we aren't buying it. Most of the people I speak with don't even know people are questioning the election.

I think we need to be seen front and center

5. I'm so discouraged

I've just about given up. People don't even know about this. The media (I don't even say mainstream anymore)sucks. The Supreme court can't be trusted. There seems to be no way to fix this. I think they have been fixing the elections for at least 4 years-to get the Rep controlled congress-house. They are scary, and I am scared.
I've tried to be positive, and emailed and called anyone that has helped. Called my representative, local paper, TV news shows about this election. I've donated money and have told everyone that I can that this election was stolen.

6. I posted this to try to get out of that kind of slump.

The recount is just beginning, there are all kinds of illegal actions taking place in Ohio that need to be brought to light. I'm just trying to figure out what I can do to assist and keep positive. Continuing to talk to people about it goes without question. Continuing to email. I just wish there was more I could do.

7. The purpose of defeatism

is to dwindle hope, these tactics are surley being used against democrats. (i posted this earlier) They have mentally tried to slaughter you. Phrases such as: Dems out of touch with American values, reforming the party, shutting out the MSM from discussing it. The list goes on and on. Those are subtle ways defeatism works against you.

I tell you when I saw the movement Canada put forth when Bush came to see them. It brought a tear of joy to my eye, I was proud of them. We need to get organzied, and start showing the world they can't bully us. The saying a picture is worth a 1,000 words.



That is an image I want for us. 57 million voices sung in one note.

8. Agree!!

Everybody is saying for the vast majority the elections are over. All we need to show is an outpouring of say 50,000 people of all the 50 million who votes for Kerry to be our in the streets of Ohio. That would change things dramatically.
