Hello DU! I AM BACK IN THE GAME AS OF RIGHT NOW!!! [View All]

Note: this thread is for ME. This is MY purge and something I MUST do. Sorry if this is long but it is for MY benefit and MY "therapy". - THANK YOU for giving me this forum to vent.

------------------------

OK. Here we are. The election was BRUTAL for me personally. No secret. I posted a couple of threads saying I was "taking a break". Well, that break is over. It was a LOT shorter than I had planned (much to Mrs Matcom's dismay I am afraid).

I do not know quite where I go from here. I am hoping and COUNTING on YOUR help. I have been 'soul searching'. My progressive life attitudes cannot be turned off. We are in a time of great turmoil. We MUST prevail.

Over the last 4 years I, along with most of YOU have written, emailed, spoken up, marched, converted, persuaded, handed out flyers, etc..etc..etc..

I took a break from that on 11/03. I HAD to. In a way, I am sorry for doing so but "it is what it is" as I like to say.

No More.

NO F*CKING MORE!!

I am back. That should mean exactly NOTHING to ANY of you except that we need to fight MORE THAN EVER. Yeah, we thought we had it but guess what? We didn't.

*****flame bait starts here********

I have NO time for recounts, voter fraud, BBV, etc... if YOU are into that, GAWD LOVE YOU. Keep up the fight. I IN NO WAY think this was a fair election but sorry, I don't believe the result is gonna change. I CANNOT AFFORD THAT, PERSONALLY, EMOTIONALLY

I know there are MANY of you hard working at the obvious. PLEASE do NOT take my words as "a waste of time or a frugal effort". That is NOT what I intend. I am simply preparing MYSELF for the next 4 years. I do not have the strength you have. I, personally, MUST plan ahead. It is MY way. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU IN THE FIGHT

so. what do *I* do?

my Liberalism is ON FIRE. more than it EVER has been. It might not even be healthy (I do not know). But this I DO know:

I will FIGHT against this UNJUST WAR
I will FIGHT for health care for ALL
I will FIGHT this misAdministration (who I STILL believe should have NEVER been put into power in the first place)
I will CONTINUE to EDUCATE (yes, Boston DUers, our "Flyer-Drives" are BACK IN BUSINESS!)
I will FIGHT to keep our freedoms intact.

THIS I promise everyone here and everyone who doesn't give a damn out there in the world. I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!

I cannot give this up. We do NOT have the time.

*********** More Flamebait Here ***************

I will NOT get into "WHAT" could have been or "WHAT" should have been with candidates/platforms/etc...

that is utter BULLSHIT

we are the "HERE AND NOW" and we MUST protest. we MUST make a difference. we have NO CHOICE!

so, here *I* am. back in the game. I will work for PROGRESSIVE values (NOT DINO CANDIDATES).

I am a PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT. I will CARE ABOUT OTHERS LESS FORTUNATE THAN MYSELF. I will PROTECT MY ENVIRONMENT. I will PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

If you are a "DINO", you have 3 years to get out of my way. If you are a Repuke, you KNOW where you stand with me.

I HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND YOU BETTER HEED MY CALL!!

i remember Paul Wellstone. I want him to be proud of ME tonight.

i KNOW he is proud of YOU.

thank you all for letting me vent. sorry i fell away for a while. i hope you understand.
