Hey we all made a difference.If you did nothing else but vote for Kerry you have made a difference. May this find all DUer's happy and well.
I leave you with this:
I remember when I was writing my book when the war in Iraq started. You could go into the most liberal of areas and hear support for Bush. I didn't even want to go out because I was so distressed by how many people, especially those close to me could feel that bombing and killing was something to cheer for. Michael Moore was even booed at the Oscars and it seemed like some Orwellian nightmare. There were people being arrested for wearing "Let there be peace on earth" T-shirts and rock singers were booed for speaking their minds.
CNN,ABC,NBC,MSNBC,CBS and their "in bed with" reporters did all they could to sell the war and Fox of course put music to the bombs dropping to enhance the conditioning with their "Must follow administration" hypnosis. It seemed we were headed toward a real "1984".
But the people said "No". Led by such courageous people as Michael Moore, Howard Dean, Jon Stewart, a handful of Senators and thousands of other good people who made peace a cause. We helped to give voice to the truth they tried so hard to silence. As we saw the truth being knocked down by some, we joined our fellow Americans in standing it back up.We then went out and made Fahrenheit 9/11 number one at the movies. People began to see that behind the velvet lies there was a truth as hard as steel. At the republican convention we had a 4 mile long protest against the war. The numbers were too hard to ignore so the media changed the subject by trying to tear down a war hero. But there were three 90 minute debates where the people could see Bush the way he is. The people started turning on the media.And Finally it seems that the media is reporting on the truth(except of course Fox), although they still try to balance out negative news by negative reporting of Kerry. So yes they cover the truth but tell you because the truth is negative they have to be fair and "give the other side" which is a smokescreen or questioning of the truth. But once again the people are smarter than that.
So Now it looks like we will be sending the Bush administration out to pasture.And there will be a cheer heard around the world. It is all because we came together as Americans and nailed our red,white and blue to the mast and weathered the storms of this administration and the feeder bands of the media. And with the truth to guide us we will set a course for better days. And all I can say is God Bless America.
