29. Start planning to send the Democratic Convention a message.
It would be the 40th anniversary of the protests of the 1968 convention. Those protestors complained because the Democratic Party was supporting the War in Vietnam, and was refusing to listen to people who wanted official opposition to the party.

With the terror vote, and with the general spinelessness of the Democratic Party, there's even greater reason to have protests at the convention, INSIDE the convention, in the media and all over.

So, why don't you people who want a better Democratic party, and can afford to take the time off work or from your family, start jockeying to become delegates to the Democratic Convention? You might have to hide your true feelings until the actual convention, but it would be a great event when you do come out of your closet and start embarassing the lame-o's we are being forced to support with votes.
