A 48 hour push got 11 senators to speak out...

[catnhatnh]

...and most of them claimed to have no knowledge of the extent of electoral fraud.That was little people like you and I faxing phoning and e-mailing.An AMAZING turnaround!!!Never ignore the fact that nearly a full quarter of democratic senators rose to speak.How many more are even now studying congressman Conyers report?Will his report maybe give us the one republican we need to drive this into the bipartisan mainstream???
Patience people,I truly believe this has just begun.Today was WONDERFUL...and HISTORIC...

1. "speaking" didn't get us anywhere..

We needed 11 or 12 solid VOTES. That would have made every news channel in America.

2. Yep, we laid a turd in the Republican punchbowl today.

From the looks of Hastert, he didn't like the taste.

6. Had one senator not contested, I may well have said screw it and gone back

to my life. But now, I have to believe you are right. We fight on.

7. Just kidding with ya

Today was a Great Day :toast:

9. OK Seito...

...I checked a few more of your posts and now this is IT!!!I know what you are._Your nothing but a...a..a CLOSET OPTIMIST!!!There,I said it and I'm glad!

[bunny planet]

11. Yeah, I love closet optimists (I'm one myself)

[seito]

12. Damn

Shhhhh...Let's just let this be "our little secret"....OK?

[catnhatnh]

13. It's ok...

...I'd never "out" one of our own...Pssst,I think Will Pitts one of us...SHHHH!

[progressiveandproud]

19. No one...

asked, no one told.

;)

[progressiveandproud]

18. Exactly...

...the fight for justice is just beginning. I'm 20, and I for one am just gettin' started. Even if our labor seems to bear no fruit, we shall continue as a matter of personal integrity.

I admit, it's selfish. (I'm only half-joking.) I'm not sure if I could respect myself if I didn't stand up and speak my piece for what I believe is the path of justice.

20. Welcome to DU...

...you'll find us crude,but interesting.A little personal integrity is always nice,and a thick skin also don't hurt here...

8. one senator actually followed up her talk with the walk. the rest

VOTED to elect shrub into office. no walk whatsoever. i'm not sure how this is great for us. don't you think 12 democratic senators could drive this issue into bipartisan mainstream? they missed the boat big time.

[icehenge]

14. Its a start

Thats how I see it, Better then what we had....

[catnhatnh]

15. Yep...

...And welcome icehenge...with a name like that,I'd avoid the flamers....

[AgadorSparticus]

25. yes, it is a start. but it begs the question: why the hell didn't the

other democratic senators stumble over themselves to get the word out... to speak our voices? why? to save their jobs?

they should be chomping at the bit to stand up against the fascist machine. but no. and boxer only stood up because of the intense effort on the activists. where is the internal fire to do what is right and not what the polls say or what the MSM will do to them? where is the internal fire that is enraged because a presidential election was blatantly stolen?

how will they fight for us in a rigged system that is designed to strip them of all power if they did not stand up now? this was their chance and they sold out.

16. CatnHat ... I just said the same thing (different words)

on another thread. Great minds think alike ... :)

[catnhatnh]

17. My mind may not be that great....

...but someone once said "you don't have to be a weatherman to tell which way the winds blow" Now there's a brilliant philosopher!

[all.of.me]

21. Yes, it was!

I just watched the debates and press conferences again, and it was more powerful the second time around. This objection will have a huge impact.

22. Welcome Genevat...

....it seems like a billion new people are coming out to post tonight.I guess it just means the word is getting out.We need you all,and I hope for every members help to get the word of election fraud out to the (non DU) public...

[all.of.me]

23. Thanks!

It was pretty inspiring, and it's hard to keep it inside, I guess! The more I think about it, the better I feel. It was just amazing to me...
