Before We Lose Our Shirts
What are we waiting for? Until you're sipping on your last bowl of gruel before you storm the gates of power? Are we going to wait till we're too weak before we act or now while we still have strength?

Those of you involved with already organized groups for non-violent political change must co-ordinate and organize - if you don't belong to one, it doesn’t matter, because what we must do now is find out how many of us are willing stop this madness now. No matter if it's war, economy, impeachment, 9/11, take your pick, we need to get these supposed leaders to LISTEN TO US!

WE CAN DO IT! It won't cost a penny, and in most cases will turn out to be funny - in all cases revealing, some cases may be tragic, but hopefully not - it will not fail to make headlines - it will bring commerce to a screeching halt - and it will change the world for better overnight ... this Monday as many of us who can make it need to show-up at our local representatives office nude ... that's right, naked as the day you were born. No ID's, no nothing, just us wanting them to know that we'll be back again and again in all our glory until they start doing their jobs. (Being fair - those of extra-modest nature may wear underwear - those in cold/wet weather, overcoats - hell, just show-up!)

They’re stripping us naked anyway?

If 1,000 commit around the country and they can get one each, and so forth and so forth, what would they do if 10,000 people showed-up nude around the country asking to speak to their representatives? Tear gas us? Fire hose us? We're NAKED! How's THAT going to play?! How many representatives would join us? (Talk about "full disclosure")

Spread this around - let's see who's willing put their principles where their pants use to be!
