17. It's not about what isn't but what IS.
There IS support here for GLBT, LOTS of it. We want EVERYONE** to have their rights. Period.


This is about taking a snapshot of the HUGE amount of support that is here to help put people's minds at ease so we can quit fighting among ourselves about things we basically agree upon.

WE know what we want to see at the end of the road. A healthy country that can be self sustaining and ALL people of ALL colors and stripes able to have full rights in fact and law, not just in cyberspace.

ALL of us have less rights than we had 8 years ago. 100 miles in from the border - any US border - all your rights are null and Homeland Security can do what it wants with you without so much as a by your leave.

8 years ago if Clinton had done the things *ush did, he'd have been impeached, sent to the Hague, drawn and quartered and dragged through Washington DC until his tattered remains were unrecognizable. 70% of Republicans are known to have taken money from Abrahmoff but how many have been charged with the crime?

People are having their homes seized by corporations under eminent domain or being thrown out of them while the "poor banks" get compensated. How can you have the rights to do whatever you want in your own home if no one can afford housing anymore? How does a piece of paper help you if all the water supplies are poisoned with pollutants to the point of die of dehydration or drink and be sick.

There is SO MUCH WORK TO DO and we need to be together to do it.

We are STILL in the battle to get our country back on it's feet. We are battling for ALL your rights here, not just the civil rights issue.

















{**OK, we don't WANT reich wing hypocrites to have rights, but as part of everyone they get them, so no one says we are playing favorites.}
