Every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war.
Every Thursday evening at 6PM PA Action hosts a peace vigil outside our non-profit used books and clothing store. Yesterday we had a special rally in opposition of the coming presdential veto of the already too-weak supplemental spending bill. The coverage of the event is here. It was called a "mini-rally" but believe me, getting fifteen people to show up in Bucks County on a beautiful Saturday morning is no small trick.
There are reports that the Dems will cave after BushCo vetoes the veto-proof bill. I can't begin to tell you how disheartening that is to hear. On the other hand, I heard the deadline to get a bill passed is the end of May, which means that if protests were to spring up across the country targeting the President's lunatic obsession with maintaining endless war and supporting Congress' sending this supplemental back to his desk unchanged, there's a chance that they'll have the courage to do just that.
As always - as always - we have the power to change minds in Washington. A lot of money is spent convincing us that we don't and that we shouldn't want to be bothered thinking about using that power or that if we did use that power it would be unseemly but the power is ours.
So how, in the next several of very crucial days, are you going to use it?
