[FogerRox]

Ben makes his case here:


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=862666&mesg_id=862666

I am with Ben 110%, shut the friggin city down. After all, its our city, our country. Not on a saturday, so folks can come on down when they are off from work and the politicians have gone home. DO it in the middle of the week, when business is going on. GO in on a monday, and camp out.

Power concedes nothing unless we contest it.

[FogerRox]

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Yes!

It is time!

[Royal Sloan 09]

3. Agreed,

Yes, it's past time to make the traitor answer for the treason against all Americans. What can the West Coast people do to make a difference? Everybody needs to get out and show the Media that the people have had enough and We are not going to take it anymore! IMHO

[FogerRox]

5. Of course it's a good idea

That's why it has been thought of many times before.
The only problem with it is that it's not easy mobilize enough people.

13. UR are right about the Lexus payment

On the other hand folks needs to put themselves in a position to be able to have the time......... on short notice...... to participate in the revolution.

SO stop making excuses, and prepare your self.

[iconoclastNYC]

18. Bullshit.

First of all with your stellar 77 posts I'm not sure you are the best judge of the mettle of DU'ers.

I was in DC for the Sept 30th March 2005 and there were tons of DUs out in force with signs and t-shirts.

[iconoclastNYC]

19. "Enough is Enough" should be the rallying cry!

[Cleita]

28. Excuse me but there is plenty of action from this website.

Just because the news doesn't air it doesn't mean it's not happening.

14. As a D.C. resident, I can tell you that....

...even if you could pull something like this off, you'd only provoke the ire of everyone living here. And that ire won't be directed where it shoukd be (at Bush).

[iconoclastNYC]

17. You don't even have a Congress critter so why do we care?

LOL. :sarcasm:

[Sammy Pepys]

20. hahaha!

:evilgrin:

[Cleita]

30. So what should we do?

Those government buildings are the buildings of the people. We need to take them back. If you don't want anyone in your city, then can you do it yourselves without any help? I need you to tell me what you can do and what wouldn't provoke your ire?

[paparush]

15. I've already told my boss...If the US bombs Iran...

don't expect to see me in the office for a week or more..as I plan to occupy DC.

[w8liftinglady]

33. you and me both...

[iconoclastNYC]

16. *sigh*

I was in town for the Sept 30th march in D.C. and we almost did shut down a large part of the city. We barely got a passing mention on the boob tube. "Hurricane Rita Fizzles" was the big story.

I just don't think that marches do anything.

We'd have to do something that impacted the economy. Like blocking rail lines or something....and then you'd be called a Terrorist.

I'm loosing faith in demonstrations . It only has an impact if the media cares and they are on orders to ignore it.

[FogerRox]

22. U r losing faith? Ye of little faith. You need a Faith boost.

Power concedes nothing unless WE contest it. If you dont want to march, then dont. If you dont contest the power grab, then you have tell your kids, when they ask: Where were in the revolution? Oh I did nothing. Passing that down to your children as a legacy, is something your kids will grow up to remember. AS adults they will know who you are.

SOOOO who are you?

[iconoclastNYC]

41. The Revolution?

LOL. When was the last time you met a revolutionairy? Now ask that question of the average american. 99.9% would answer: "never."

Goodluck with that revolution.

[lonestarnot]

21. agree and K & R

[OutsidetheBox]

23. You forget that we are not in France and we are not Mexican...

Complacency, laziness, comfort, timidity, acquiescense and apathy...that is America.

Protesting and marching in large numbers is a thing of the past. No one cares anymore. Too much teevee to watch.

By the way, how is the whole Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughn thing going?

[FogerRox]

24. that is the reason PROTEST needs to be put back in the American lexicon

[OutsidetheBox]

25. Agreed, but think it will take miracle to accomplish

Too many sheeple, too few thinking humans

[FogerRox]

26. I'm workin on it -- right now-- have been for over a year- plenty of heavy

lifting to go around.

[Midlodemocrat]

31. I disagree. The march in September was a major

success. Lots and lots of people there.

I think this is doable.

[FogerRox]

34. yeah Sept was SOOOooooooo awesome.

[whopis01]

35. kick n/t

[FogerRox]

36. ehh haaaa thanks for the kick...................

[ObaMania]

37. Give me a date and I'm there! n/t

[FogerRox]

38. now that is some positive attitude there.........

[oxbow]

40. I live in DC. You can bet I'll show up

just give me a week in advance to get off work. I'll bring my friends too
