LOL, We elected the President. Regardless of if you voted for Kerry or Bush, He was elected by the majority this last time. The democratic process has shown us that the american people want this idiot in office.
Also, no matter who is in office or whatever, someone will think its "Undemocratic" I am a liberal but i hate this hypocritical crap.
bush has NEVER had the majority, btw, and impeachment is a part of democracy for a reason. there is nothing hypocritical about exercising our first ammendment rights, and dissent IS patriotic.
great video, skinnychef. Concerted action is so satisfying. Haven't marched yet--no actions that I know of in Denver--but we've got an awesome call campaign going at the local MoveOn offices. We had 15 volunteers--moms, retired teachers, college kids--all working their cellphones. I think only Berkeley and one other city (Boston?) outdid our Denver gotv effort last week.
Thanks for letting the world know there IS activism against the system. In the Netherlands we have the same issue with these voting machines, which only now is getting media attention, because of a group that analysed the thing (probably,after reading about the US machines hack)
interesting. are you getting rid of them? did Diebold make your machines too? they are a subsidiary of, guess who...you're right! Halliburton! shocking!
Well, we need to GET OUT THE VOTE... and support real change this year! It's great that you're so active, and hopefully all of us can do more to kick out these warmongering profiteers! : )
Yep! Today, I'll be making calls with Orange County MoveOn members... And later this week, I'll be calling for my local progressive Congressional candidates.
good for you! do you have to have a cell phone to do the move on GOTV? i've been wanting to do that, but have no cell phone...anyways, thanks for doing the good work behind the orange curtain!!! CA needs you!
this is the fiftieth time i have tried to post this dang comment
4 burnvictim-
the folks i interviewed write/call their reps, write editorial fro the press, and spread the word to their friends and community. protest is not the solution, but it is PART of the solution by generating media attention, and building community support.
hi tyler! thanks for the support! i did not vote for Al, but i like him. i was in california, and it being a blue state i had the luxury of voting third party. i am NOT a democrat, they tend to be too reactionary and weak for me, but i will have to vote democrat at the midterms.
thank you honey! feel free to join me in rocking the barely free world! gotta do it while we can! tomorrow they may round us up and whisk us off to some secret prison to be tortured indefinitely- without trial...all it takes is one lunatic's word--the president!
The neo-cons are up against all the people of America--right, left, conservative, progressive--no one wants to lose their rights to the neo-cons, and no one wants to let them destroy America (with the exception of the 23% Bushies who can't think, of course)
i know, EM, what the heck is up with those guys? they really are the school yard bullies of the world! we need a really tough kindergarten teacher to get in there and box their ears and put them down for a nap!
hi D! thanks for your support! yeah, this was a national march taking place in cities all across the nation, and of course, Texas is a little conservative.
But I'm putting TX on notice, y'all, TX was traditionally a Democratic state! we WILL get it back!!!
i know,damn patchoulie smellin' grandmas and vetrans. damn peace lovin' professionals and voters. we should just lock 'em up and make it so no more than three people can gather in the streets, like any good military dictatorship!!!
I was so happy to see real people in this video. I mean, I know real people are against the the current sociopathic administration, but it's so uncommon to see them on video. I'm sick of the mainstream media, which will interview a hundred people, and then choose to show the one crazy-looking guy with no communication skills. That's an old tactic, used for many decades, to bias the viewer against the cause, and perhaps that is why I'm so sick of it.
i'm sick of it too. that's why i got rid of my TV. i recomend that to any thinking person. there's nothing worth watching on TV anyway, except maybe "animal cops".
great stuff! love the footage! and you actually asked good questions from intelligent people! something you wont get from FOX news... Thanks for the hard work and getting the voices of the people to the masses!
More actual journalism from skinnychef! I gave it 5 stars and added it to my favorites.
What I like most about your journalism is that you gave the people time to talk and they mostly sounded reasonable and fair. With most journalism, we just get quick sound bites and they always seem to pick the loudest, most extreme, most controversial ones.
Thanks 4 takin' it to the streets and keepin' it real! :-)
Yes. The mainstream media will usually caricature these people and present them as stupid; like, don't you have a thought in your head more sophisticated than a sign or a slogan? Actually, yes, they do.
The real story is, ordinary people are waking up to evil. Not many journalists are willing to go there. But you are. Kudos!
Boy,you sure found some nut-cases...This is pure comedy...The scarrrry thing is,these people are allowed to vote...
