7. Impeachment, definitely. That will be the next battle.
Reelecting Chimpy and opening all his lies to public scrutiny might be more damaging to the Republican Party than defeating the Chimp this November.

Not that I am advocating that. I'm just saying that all will not be lost. This fight will not end in November in any case. We'll still have the war in Iraq.

3. We'll see what happens to what is left of our "liberties"....
then, based upon that, we should fight.

5. Join more causes
I already donate to DU and Bartcop. In addition to sending
$25 a month to Kerry's campaign. But if here were to lose,
I would suggest we get even MORE vocal. I suppose I could
join ACLU and other organizations that help preserve our rights.
BTW Thank God for Moveon.org, finally someone with money has joined
in on our cause.

This land was made for you and me!

9. Seriously? Die, maybe.

I'm on Social Security Disability. I'm supposed to be on about $800 a month in prescriptions. That's more than my income. The Bush prescription drug plan does nothing for me because of the huge up-front deductables. I'd have to not pay things like rent and utilities for at least one month to start getting any coverage. Homelessness would be make me deteriorate quicker than being without my prescriptio0n drugs.

I'm not going to last another Presidential term without my prescription drugs. No way. I've got a lower brain injury that is starting to cause problems in the involuntary swallowing process now. Without the medications, I'm going to choke to death in my sleep one night in the next few years.

I've already informed my family about the situation, and they have instructions exactly what to tell a medical examiner to look for if I go.

There are websites where you can get the drugs for substantial discounts.

11. Know that America will get tired of this shit eventually
It took 12 years to get rid of the Reagan and Bush administrations. If it takes only 8 years this time, it'll be an improvement.

12. Hunker down and
look out after myself because if that idiot gets in again we are all on our own. Seriously win or lose I am going to continue to make plans for leaving here, this country's best days are gone for good and I fear it is too late to recover from the destructive course it it on. :-(

13. The way things are going now, there is no way bu$h
can legally and legitimately win. It will have to be with the help of diebolt and/or Martial law.

14. First, I'll cry
harder than I have ever cried in my life.

I expect that if Bush gets another four years, I will be one of the
ones to end up in prison. I have no intentions of paying taxes to
any government that steals my civil rights, takes my tax dollars to
shove fanatical religious ideas onto kids in school, bankrupts the
treasury, and creates a society in which only wealthy donors to
the King's palace are granted fantastic tax breaks, and wages perputal
war to fatten the coffers of the King's buddies.

No, I am not being overly dramatic. I have thought about this since
the Clinton impeachment and I have arrived at the point in my life
where I believe it is my duty to demand that my government adhere to
the principles that are expressed in the Constitution and Bill of
Rights. The original Bill of Rights. Not the one trashed under the
"Patriot" act.

I have lost hope that our fellow citizens will wake up to the fact
that politically, we have become a third world country. We experienced
a coup and did nothing about it. Americans have no direct previous
experience with third world politics so the majority of people sat
about in either stunned silence or worse, meek acquiescence. It is
astonishing to me that people don't realize and accept that George
Bush is everything America has always professed to hate in third
world dictators. So, I will be resisting any future Bush administration with all my might. And taking the consequences.

15. i will continue to build up...
my community - strengthening it even moreso than it already is - prepared to defend it if need be - world causes - do whatever i can as well to create a happier healthier world for all people - a world where everyone is well-fed and warm and safe - where-ever i am (and i hope you all where you are that you will do so also)...

i am informed that i might want to use sentence breaks - okay...

...devote as much energy as possible to self sustainability and non-reliance on any outside warmongering hateful destructive powers - continuing the creation of cooperative community living - spreading the idea far and wide - to all ends of the earth - feeding ourselves and eachother - caring for ourselves and eachother - each of us - where we are - everywhere - where every person on this earth matters - where every idea is listened to and respected and considered - where no-one is ever put down - where all pain and hurt is eased and comforted as best we can - where love and family - the whole world family (including animals, trees, and water etc. - all life) is considered to be the most important thing that has ever existed...

...another break okay...

...wherein we will be completely free of warmonger destructive hatred - until that warmonger way of non-living - ceases to even exist - no longer matters in any way what-so-ever - non-exisitent - has not a thing to do anymore at all because what it is - matters not - when it really finally is seen for what it is - it does not exist - is non-existent - that warmonger way - it is anti-life - and we all do already really know that - deep inside ourselves - we all truly do know this - i know that we all really do know this...

...okay okay a break...

i know that you really do know this...

...and we the people all live happily ever after (all of us let's do this now - please - yes - i am begging - yes - i am knocking on the door - hello - will you feed and clothe and shelter me - please - i will feed and clothe and shelter you as well - thank you - hello sister - hello father - hello brother - hello mother - hello aunt - hello uncle - cousin - nephew - daughter - hello son - niece - hello - hello - hello - my family) in love...
