Send this MLK Quote to your Senator....Re: Jan 6

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Cowardice asks the question: Is it safe?

Expediency asks the question: Is it politic?

Vanity asks the question: Is it popular?

But conscience asks this question: Is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular -- but one must take it simply because it is right.

10. GAH!

Neither of my senators has voting or election issues listed among their choices of topic (I went with civil/human rights). They're pretending the problem doesn't exist.

Just what I would expect of my DINO senators (Clinton and Schumer).

15. Also drove both ways with Bush-Cheated 04 poster in back window

and... sported my Faux News - we distort you comply shirt! :) A walking billboard that usually gets some reaction (agitproperties.com) - today it was an understanding smile from a young man without legs in a wheelchair. Tons of soldiers were at this busy rest stop on their way to Iraq :( I stopped a few of them, thanked them, and asked that they be kind.

18. Also this Frederick Douglass quote

“I have no confidence in the veracity of men who publicly justify themselves in cheating the Negro out of his constitutional right to vote. The men who did this, either by false returns, or by taking advantage of the Negro's illiteracy, or by surrounding the ballot box with obstacles and sinuosities intended to bewilder him and defeat his rightful exercise of the elective franchise, are men who should not be believed on oath. That this is done and approved in Southern States in notorious. It has been openly defended by so-called honest men inside and outside of Congress.”

– Frederick Douglass, 1894
