Can Americans Stop Bush/Cheney From Attacking Iran? The Answer is Yes!

[Fireweed247]

Our economy is already in ruins, food and gas are becoming luxuries to the poorest families in America, and the middle-class is disappearing faster than Bush’s approval ratings. Millions of us are facing foreclosure, while the oil companies post profits that are obscene - and still receive huge government subsidies. The average American is now becoming aware that Bush and Cheney are war criminals, yet Congress refuses to impeach them, even though there is a mountain of evidence that supports their immediate impeachment, indictment, and incarceration for breaking our own and international laws. Congress is worthless, and as bad as Bush’s ratings are, Congress rates worse, symptoms that the public has lost respect and hope that any of them will find the courage to do what’s right! The only thing left to stop the destruction of our country and another war is the people themselves - but first, they have to know what to do. As we stated over a year ago, its time that America’s premier alternative news sites, Blogs, and every individual on the Internet get busy and come together in solidarity to take back our country....


Imagine The Huffington Post, BuzzFlash, Op-Ed News, Capitol Hill Blue
Raw Story, AfterDowningStreet.org, Rense.com, The BRAD BLOG, The Daily
KOS, The Smirking Chimp, TV News and Lies, Alex Jones, Michael Moore,
and the huge amount of Hollywood celebrities that could contribute to
this cause! What if they all published editorials in unison calling for
a general strike that would effectively halt all commerce and services
throughout the United States? How would Congress react then? What
choice would they have? This country cannot operate without you and me,
the “average people” who don’t have a voice in government - but who
could effectively, in a non-violent manner, shut-down this country
until Congress is forced to do their damn jobs!

1. I'm self employed and my work directly benefits individuals

How would my participation in a general strike mean anything except the people who I work with suffering more?

2. The union leaders are now members of those secret

government groups who want us destroyed for open borders and the wealth of the few. Union members would have to go it alone. Pretty soon we will all be replace with cheaper labor...doctors, nurses, sports figures, actors, etc.

3. The main idea...

is for all the groups to join together, with Hollywood actors even, to demand Congress do their jobs. Maybe a general strike isn't the answer, but what is?

4. Does anyone else wonder why the antiwar movement has gone nowhere?

Why can't we unite? Why haven't we succeeded at anything? We have all the evidence on our side, the most overtly corrupt administration ever...
