2. I'm sure national events are being planned for September, but I'm for July.
But I make my own event everyday in some fucking way, and I do mean every day.

4. September might be better because more people are off vacation.
Just a thought, and it's hot wherever you are, not that September isn't.

9. Maybe I misunderstood your post, but it sounded like
you wanted to postpone action for cooler weather, no? What about them?

12. I'm not going to argue with you; I just think more people would be
available in Sept. vs. July, but it's not our decision anyway.

good luck with the planning for that! And you best hurry! :hi:
Edit to add: I think there's something going on in Philly on July 4th that Cindy Sheehan had been involved with, but it's probably still happening; you might want to check it out.

8. Good plans but I think more needed
Don't want to belittle any plans to get progressives together --
It's been damned stupid that in all this time progressive groups don't do it.

On the other hand, I think reacting in September to something that happened in May is a bit off key.

There has to be a strong response to Demoocrats and an attack on the "Conservative Democratic Leadership" which, btw, was set up by Clinton and Gore!!!

Right now, Bush has a win, win, win situation --
He got his money -
He has no restrictions -
Not even a tepid warning about Iran --
AND, he's split the Democratic Party!!

What role did Emmanuel and Hoyer play in the deal making?

I've heard some news today which suggests that a lot of Democrats are filling out new cards as "independents."

We have a run-away presidency which we and the Democratic Party seems to be saying they can do nothing about.

I think we all have to begin to act individually, while waiting for September.

And, that is only in non-violent, legal ways to protest.

Is dragging everyone down to Washington, DC a good idea anymore?
To protest before empty buildings? I've never quite gotten that reasoning.
What about the 13 original states and letting people come out to their own capitals.
This may have to be worked from the grassroots up. Via town councils, town meetings, state meetings.
