OK, we are all angry, what are WE going to do about it ? ? ? ?

I am as guilty or more so of screaming in anger on this forum as anybody, while actually doing very little about it at the moment.

I dont know what to do, I have offered to help my local Planned Parenthood escorting patients, but they dont need that as they are on private property and there is no issue.

I vote for all DEMS no matter what for the obvious reason, I financially support various candidates and I worked on the Obama campaign calling people in Ohio to tell them where their polling place was.

NOT ENOUGH, the situation calls for MUCH MORE ACTION than that, so what exactly am I going to do and what are YOU going to do?

GOTV for Democrats, ignore the rest and keep on voting for Dems. That said, you'd better believe I will vote in the primaries for any Dem other than a third way Dem when possible.

change will come local.

I think we may have to break up into 3 or 4 different provinces, independent of each other

to continually build a voting block, a coalition. This has been working so far. We started at 2, my wife and I, now we are 20.

when we truly understand that, there might be a unified front. Article V conventions have been approved in CA and VT, perhaps all states need to follow suit.

Our candidates are purchased by our system of campaign finance, and then there's the golden revolving door that buys "democracy".
