Let's put it this way--who IS going to make noise about Bush lies?

[mojogeorgo]

Okay, what I have discovered is that any time I or anyone else says that Bush needs to be called to task on his lies about WMD--and every other evil thing he has gotten away with--there are all sorts of "Yeah, like *that's* going to happen!" responses.

I understand the resigned cynicism, but I'll be damned if I'm going to succumb to it myself. You all know the litany by now. Bush lied, repeatedly. He's called on it and brushes the issue aside. Says he considers the matter closed. To throw Bush's words back in his own face, "Who cares what you think? We're the ones who get to decide!"

Remember Horton Hears a Who (okay--put aside for a moment the fact that the *elephant* is the good guy in that story) when all of the Whos had to make noise at the same time in order to be heard? We need to make noise. Lots of it. Enough that the media can't ignore us.

I know the cynical response. I've made it myself. But there are about a thousand other discussions out there where you can post that. Please post in THIS thread to tell us all what you are doing to make some noise.

Contacting media?
Signing the DNC petition? http://democrats.org/truth
(or the Dean petition, or contacting your congressperson through MoveOn.org?)
Putting up posters? http://protest.bmgbiz.net
Signing the petition at http://www.votetoimpeach.org
(or printing out and distributing their PDFs?)

One more time, a gentle request to only post optimistic, action oriented responses in this particular thread.

1. I have made myself a promise to send at least five emails a day

Today, on the Ari statement "President Bush has moved on", I have sent an email to each of my three congressmen, sent an email to Wolf (yeah I know, but what the heck), sent emails to the two local papers. Then when Lieberman supported this wimpy stance, I sent an email to him and one to the DLC with copies to CNN.

Signed the two petitions you mentioned, also signed the FCC petition in this folder.

Made the vow not to go silently into the night. More emails tommorrow with calls beginning on Monday. These guys are not going to be able to say the public doesn't care. Not if I can help it.
