So what are we going to do about it.
Honestly, thing continue to get worse. We seem to read more news everyday about what is going on with our Government
- Unjust war
- Gitmo & Abu Ghraib
- Plumegate
- Abramoff
- Warrantless Wiretaps.
The list goes on & on & on.
But we really need to be ready for the next revelation
We must decide where we really draw the line.
- The overturning of Roe v Wade
- The pardoning of all players in Plumegate.
- Then what ??
"I would say
- Proof that we were lied into The War in Iraq
- Proof that we have broken the Geneva Convention
- Proof we have sent citizens & non-citizens to countries to be tortured.
But we have proof of all this and still "nothing"
So, I say, we pick issues and our action and reaction ahead of time.
For me personally, I know that I am the family bread winner. However, I have stated again & again that if Roe V Wade gets overturned, I will no longer work. Therefore I will no longer pay Federal Income tax. I feel that if the Government wants to make me less than a full citizen then why should I pay for the government. (By the way. I am a 45 year old, who has not been able to have chidden for the past 18 years but I will be just as effected as any woman if Roe V Wade is over turned)
So again as a "Community" I think it is our duty and responsibility to decide on 1 or 2 issues and developed a strategy to deal with the problem before it/they arrive. .
I am not sure if boycotts and/or protest work. But, I think, we need to create something that will have an immediate & national impact. And, we need to have the plan in place before the the “issue” happens. Because if we wait after the fact & just "Biog" about it - nothing will happen.
This is where we have lost, & the neo-cons have won. They meet and plan. They run different scenarios and determine how to handle each scenarios and outcome. They have their "talking points" ready!!! They are Proactive - We have become Reactive.
ALL business leaders know be to successful you must Proactive. I think it is time for us to create a Proactive Progressive Movement!! . any ideas?
P.S. Please forgive typos. I am learning how to use a Tablet PC.
