Camp What?!
Did y’all know that there are three weeks of protest currently taking place in Washington DC? Probably not.
“The revolution will not be televised.”
The schedule of events can be found here. These events are coordinated through Camp Democracy.
I have been stating for a very long time that this mode of protest – blogging – although it is extremely cathartic and it is very educational, it diminishes the need of people like us to get together and share our outrage and actually do something about it.
Because we have this outlet for our rage, frustration and disgust we do not meet in kitchens or student unions or church basements. We do not get together and formulate plans on how to take our Country back.
Of special interest at Camp Democracy is the Bush Crimes Commission. I recommend reading through this site. I recommend seeing what we are up against and what is at stake.
The trial of Don Rumsfeld, This Can’t Be Happening dot net, and After Downing Street dot org all have more evidence of what we need to protest against.
This Administration is the most enormous threat facing America and the world. People need to fully understand what our future holds if we do not stand up and take our Country back from the criminals.
Get outraged. Show up. There is no more important event in our lives. Many protests are happening around this Country.
United for Peace and Justice is a tremendous resource for events and local chapters.
If you are able to travel to DC, may the road rise up to meet you and may the wind be at your back.
UPDATE: Saturday 09.09.06
You can listen to some people reporting from Camp Democracy as well as some PSAs here.
Videos from Camp Democracy can be seen here.

Brilliant.
I just heard Bobby Scott say in a Wed hearing that the Specter & Sensenbrenner laws are saying by default that the new laws 'imply that the President is breaking the law' or a new law would not be needed.

No, OTF, a law to excuse the law-breaking.
It is very simple.
President broke the law.
In a Federal Court he was found to have violated FISA and the Constitution.
Now Senate bills S2453 & S2455 and House Bill HR5825 will make his law breaking legal.
They want to pass new laws that will make what he is doing OK.
It is bullshit.
Call the Congress 1-888-355-3588 and demand that your Reps and Senators denounce this legislation.

What a cheesey post anyway. Wink, wink.
Feel like I'm in a dark bar talking to a drooling drunk.
Ooohh.
I need to shower now.

Holy Crap Coyote - reading the Horowitz behind this movie and the spin about the "Democrats" blocking it...currently Levin is on the SPAN talking about phase 2 of the Intel report - damning, damning evidence and it is all being buried by this propaganda crap.
We are really in trouble.
Seriously.
This needs to be a big fight. The Progressives must stand up to these attacks. We have to take our Country back.
It is truly frightening.

Coyote, that is brilliant.
Let me work on that - let me see what kind of marketing/branding that we can do.
Brilliant.
Dems - the Party of We the People.

"Wink, wink." That can't mean anything good.
People are too jaded anymore to fall for the fearfirefoes scare anymore.
I was considering this tonight but have learned my lesson.
I think this kind of thinking or assumption has been a real detriment to dems. I know that this is what I believed when the shrub (is that tempus's word) was running for the second term. I couldn't imagine that anyone would believe stupid shit like the earth is only 3-4 K years old, there is no global warming, scientific method and theory are tools of the devil and employed only to brainwash children, all liberals are anti christian/god and family, gays are a threat to all and will destroy families etc...
We can't afford to make these assumptions about any of the rt's propaganda anymore.
I'm being called away from the computer by hubby so can't go on or run spell check.
Hope it makes sense-got to go NOW! "Damn it just wait a sec till I press send."

Ya mean there really is more death and destruction at the Iraq Occupation.

House Dems demanding that something more important than horse meat is dealt with in the House.
House Dems working with Scholastic to make sure that our kids our not 'educated' with propaganda.

On that media bit from Camp Democracy, the end piece is Mimi Kennedy talking about the election fraud in CA 50th.
The bit is about an hour. I will be listening now while trying to get something up here.

Coyote, that is the thing about the Dems. The Dems offer hope. They always have.
When I listen to Clinton speak vs Bush the difference is stark. I realized last time that I heard Clinton that that was the biggest difference.
Clinton offers hope whereas W offers fear and danger.
The Dems offer hope for everyone. An America where we all have the same opportunities, the same shot at a dream and the dream is positive.
That is the difference and the Dems really need to do better in communicating this.

Some people are better speakers than others. It is easy to get caught up in delivery vs content.
We need both.

The Camp Democracy video's are really fabulous. They made me feel better about the world. There is hope!

The video's are intense. I am really glad that they are publishing this event. The SPAN has not covered anything but the Immigration Rally.
Pity.
