"Get up out of your chair and go to your window...."
...and yell, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Do you feel more and more like that lately? Everytime this lying and manipulative president comes on television, I have to control my anger. If the rest of America feels like I do, we are in terrible shape as a country.

1. it is just so bad, that there are not enough people showing their
disgust at this regime, they must go. Please get out there and vote in November.

2. The Ned Beatty's of Corporate America will tell you what to do.
Just drink the Kool-Aid and comply ... and be a happy camper. :eyes:

3. my anger now a days explodes in the middle of a hospital intake room,
when they want information that has heretofore been private...then like sludge pouring out of a mud truck they hear all what i have to say about this cretin in the white house. some are patient and listen without raising an eyebrow, or saying a word; others, smile, and yet others get defensive and want to defend him and snap at me for whatever i am saying to which i tell them shut up and listen to me, i am not angry with you, i am angry with the cretin who is taking your privacy and mine, your liberty and mine away from us.

one of these days i will be carted off to the nuthouse.

7. If yelling's the most we'll do, we've already lost.
Less than a third of Florida voters could be bothered to vote in the primary two days ago. We must enjoy being raped and only complaining about it after the fact.

8. ...and then you'll walk back to your chair...
...and sit down and continue to mope.

Venting is good, but worthless unless there's some action behind it. If you're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, back it up. Focus that energy.

(not personally directed at kentuck, just a general call to service)

9. What would you suggest we do, Sammy?
:) You are right. Shouting will do little good except release a bit of pent-up anger. We have to do more. Bottom line, we have to get people to the polls and we have to assure their votes are counted. No small task.

11. There campaigns out there...
...that need LOTS of volunteer help. Speaking from experience, even offering an hour of your time will be met with great enthusiasm. We've got a chance to take back the Congress in November.

Volunteering to be a poll worker is another great thing to do.
