From the Huffington Post:
The President Surges To Escalate War, Fight Back With A Surge Of Donations For Democrats
By Brent Budowsky
An outraged world watches George Bush again show his contempt and scorn for our voters, commanders and standards as a Nation and our answer should be this:
Dont get angry, take action. Go to actblue and answer his surge for war, with our surge of support for the Democrats in the Senate who are waging a historic battle to end this travesty.
We the people of the United States are not Tony Blair-like Poodles who will be mocked and scorned by a President who says "kiss my ass" to those who voted in the 2006 election.
Every single one of us, can have our own vote in the United States Senate with donations large or small in our Lexington and Concord answer to the President's escalation…
Even after the resounding election, he claims the power to open our mail in violation of law. He does the impossible: turning the Butcher of Baghdad into a martyr, with a hanging done by taunting death squad supporters, protected by liars who tried to cover it up.
This President has learned nothing from experience. He treats bipartisanship as a means to again disrespect military advice, to again divide our country, and to again escalate the mistakes that have caused this carnage.
Don't get angry; get active. Go to actblue and stand up for our democracy…
We have won a great election and the will of the people must be honored.
Last November we took our case to the people and emerged victorious.
We are not poodles, we are patriots. We have not yet begun to fight.
We are going fight, and fight, and fight again, every hour of every day, until the country we love has a President who stands for the values we share.
He has his surge, we have ours.
Dont be angry, take action. Go to actblue and answer the president's speech with our passion and we will fire a cannon that will ultimately he heard around the world.
