Updated "Plan B" if Bush wins or steals..
Here is what I will do and hope everybody else here will do if Bush wins or steals the election:

Become a monthly donor to the ACLU

Become a monthly donor to People For the American Way (I jumped the gun and am already donating monthly to this one, but I will increase my donation if Bush wins)

Contact the 6 moderate-to-progressive Supreme Court justices and let them know how important they are and that we need them. We could all ask them if they could hang on for 4 years. 2 years might even be enough if we can get a Democratic majority in there in 2006 to block the extremist nominees.

Contact Democrats and progressives in the House and Senate and ask them to band together and do whatever it takes to block any right-wing justices.

If we all band together and do all of these things should Bush win or steal, I think we will make a huge statement. Even a $5 monthly donation to the civil liberties groups would make a huge impact if a large number of us did it and told them the reason why. Just imagine the ACLU and PFAW offices being flooded with calls from people who wanted to donate due to the election outcome!

I want us to defeat the right-wing. It's going to happen one way or another. Either Kerry gets elected on Nov. 2nd, or Plan B goes full throttle!! Who's with me??

6. Actually, because of our debt levels
economic sanctions imposed by the European Community could bring the neocons to their knees, fast. They might even be reduced to resigning from office and thus speading democracy within their our own borders.

9. Right on!
We can't leave anything up to others. We have to show them that its THE PEOPLE who have the power in this democracy and we're not going to let them play games. We need to have a plan. Where to go and when. Board of Elections. State houses. Supreme courts. We have to be prepared and organized.

I want to see thousands of people riding the Metro in Washington, DC armed with pitchforks and torches.

10. Pitchforks and torches my ass!
Let's just say that a certain ban those asswipes just allowed to expire might come back to haunt them.
