HOW much is TOO much? WHAT will you ALLOW Bush to get away with?
Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 09:12 PM by Bush_Eats_Beef
Maybe you'll lose your job.

Maybe you'll lose your home.

Maybe your husband or wife won't like that, and they'll LEAVE you.

Maybe you'll be alone.

Maybe you'll be so GODDAMNED PISSED OFF and FED UP that you'll e-mail every elected official in your state.

FIFTEEN Democrats BENT OVER for Bush on the CAFTA vote.

Have you e-mailed them?

WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE?

Do you want Bush to install a National Sales Tax? Do you want to pay tax on your RENT and MEDICAL VISITS? Do you want to pay a 58% tax...or HIGHER...on EVERY FUCKING DOLLAR YOU SPEND?

At what point will you reach your breaking point?

A Bolton recess appointment?

Karen Hughes as an "ambassador" to the Arab world?

WHEN?

1. I already email every one of my elected officials!
I've got their addresses in my address book! They're all pubs, and I really don't think they give a sh*t, but I email them anyway!

I write LTTE's, and call their offices every time I get really pissed!

I explain the cause of most of our problems to anyone who will listen.

Short of protesting on the steps of Congress, I don't know what else I can do. Sorry, I'm too old for protesting on the steps!

3. You've hit on the KEY POINT here...
"I've got their addresses in my address book! They're all pubs, and I really don't think they give a sh*t, but I email them anyway!"

We often take action based on what we WANT THE RESPONSE TO BE.

We have NO CONTROL over the response.

DON'T DO ANYTHING because of what you "might" get in return.

You are taking action based on what YOU BELIEVE IS RIGHT, and that's the entire point of my post.

I SALUTE you.

4. My best friend's daughter is 12 years old.
She's a divorced single mom.

The kid is AMAZING. She's bright, she's inquisitive, she's talented.

I want MY country back, too. I want this kid to have a fighting chance to go out and change the world.

LOOK at what we had before Bush. NO war. JOBS. PROSPERITY. All gone with the wave of Little Baby Jesus Bush's hand.

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK TOO.
