Taking It to the Streets--A.M.E.N..Americans Must Engage Now (Breitweiser)

Kristen Breitweiser has a compelling post at Hufpo:

Snip>>>

What I find ironic is that these men, women, and children are not even American citizens, and yet they have galvanized, mobilized, and organized their sentiments to create quite a movement. Even more impressive is that these protestors are here illegally and risk the real threat of being herded up, detained, and deported while participating in such mass protests.

snip>>>

My thoughts? I think we should all come together and have our voices heard. If you are unhappy about healthcare, come join us. If you are unhappy about social security, come join us. If you are unhappy about education issues, come join us. If you are unhappy about foreign policy and national security, come join us. If you are unhappy about environmental issues and alternative energy issues, come join us. If you are unhappy about corruption, secrecy, and lack of accountability in government, come join us. If you are unhappy about campaign finance reform, come join us...

The time has come for all American citizens who are unhappy with this current Congress and Administration to join together in our one common belief--that our country needs to change and that we must spark that change. A. M. E. N.

2. Odd how most US citizens don’t seem to have that much to lose.

I guess if we can’t expect the majority of Merkins to vote, then we shouldn’t be surprised at their lack of protest issues that really do affect them.
