4. I'm typing it in
Head to UFPJ website for more info.

No matter what we preconceive much of this is less organized than we think. I think that is a good thing. There are many options and spaces for us to organize ourselves and act from a deeper intent. It is that we have been conditioned to think otherwise that is the obstacle.

Breaking the spell.

These people who hold office are our employees. They are not doing so well. They must be told this in no uncertain terms.

Reparations for the Iraqi people!

2. Yeah, some of my local group can go up there
I have to work tomorrow but my heart is with you all. Do great work and help us bring our troops home, work on the domestic agenda, help New Orleans and the Gulf get back on track and promote affordable health care for all.

5. I wish I could have stayed for the lobby day, but I have so much work to do this week...
Participating in the march was great, even though I never located the DU meetup point.

7. But by being there it mattered
Originally the circle around Congress was nixed by the politicos and police. Even the night before there was no go ahead. It went ahead anyway simply because thenumbers were unmanageable.

Kudos to you and all that showed up.

Just getting started. The occupation now needs to be extended into congressional district offices. And it shall.

8. Absolutely....
And I'm thinking about going back for the march at the Pentagon on the four-year anniversary of the invasion. And with the noise machine being ratcheted up against Iran, we've got lots of work to do.

19. I wish I could be there.
Don't have the money or time and I'm probably on a no fly list anyway.
