I don't have any money. I don't have much of anything. If I did it would be to open an office in Washington D.C. and start a lobby group that lobbied for US and the U.S. and not for tobacco, insurance, energy, etc. If anyone wants to do this count me in. At this time I can offer little money to the equation but I'll work my ass off. I want to do this but I need help. If you are fed up and are looking for a change lets do this thing and fight to get our collective voice heard.

From that office we would send out legions of protesters. We would protest gay marriage amendments, inclusion of church in state, abolition of Roe v Wade. We would protest this lame duck administration and demand answers every day. We would have marchers on the streets 365 days a year. We would make sure that not one Republican ever forgets the fact that this is a lame duck president and that we will never forget Nov. 2 2000 and 2004, the modern days of infamy.
We would lobby congress for election reform; inc, campaign finance hard caps (25 million has a nice ring), uniform voting system, uniform state election laws, uniform rules for state sec's of state regarding election operations.
We would lobby congress for the removal of all language from the Patriot Act that usurps civil liberties.
We would lobby congress for responsible tort reform, responsible social security reform, responsible health care reform, and fully funding education.
We would lobby Congress to re-institute the regulation of energy and insurance industries that are raping the wealth of middle class America.
On the side we would gather information on ethics violations that we would then hand over to congressional ethics committees. We need to send the message to Congress that the Tom Delay's of the world won't be tolerated anymore.
We would stay in constant contact with media organizations and fight to have investigative reporters cover worthwhile stories like: the ties of Halliburton to Bush Admin., the ties of Bush to Koch Ind., why the Bush Admin fails to admonish or seize funds of Saudi royals who are the most egregious terrorist supporters on the planet.
Things like this are what we need to be doing. We need people with strong minds and strong voices who will revel in the opportunities to go toe to toe with Ann Coulter in a debate. We need people who are good fundraisers, good organizationalists, good lobbyists who can be persuasive in their arguments.
How it would work is by cooperation. We start a volunteer website where disgruntled liberals can volunteer to come to D.C. whenever they have a spare couple days and pretend its election week. March and protest, stand outside the Capitol and mildly harrass GOP congressionals.
Through the site you would be able to get contact info for all of your states congressmen and women. That way you can schedule a personal meeting with your congressperson while in D.C. and tell them how you feel.
We organize massive letter writing campaigns to congressperson's and senators. If they respond to letters negatively we alert the media and let everyone know that their elected representatives aren't working for them. We begin a massive mailing campaign to rural America with lists of Bush and GOP congressional failures. We tell farmers the truth about the farm subsidy program using John Mellencamps program as a template. Every time a GOP gets caught being a hypocrite or immoral we mass mail to the Bible states.
Take no prisoners. The new America is already taking shape. We need to organize so we can help direct 21st century America's shape.
Rock on. Don't despair. Rise up. Rage, Rage against the dying of the light.
