General Strike November 6 2007
The time is still now. Our own apathy and fear are the only real things stopping us.

If someone were to suggest, for example, that we begin a general strike on Election Day, November 6, 2007, for the sole purpose of removing this regime from power, how readily and with what well-practiced assurance would you find yourself producing the words “It won’t do any good”? Plausible and even courageous in the mouth of a patient who knows he’s going to die, the sentiment fits equally well in the heart of a citizen-ry that believes it is already dead.

1. I really wish one of these strikes would work
Fact is it is impossible to get enough people to participate.

2. Wouldn't it make more sense to do this on November 22nd?
I mean that's the only day that will work. Unless you want to try Christmas!

3. I'm sure that this will be just as successful as the general strike these guys had on 9/11/2007
