Now it's our turn.

This is ABC news. And I have noticed the use of the term "gushing" rather than "spilling" or "leaking" in most of the more recent reports all across the M$M.

It's way past time time that we controlled the dialog. I am extremely hopeful that we can harness our anger and stay involved.

“Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way - that is not within everyone's power and that is not easy.” - Aristotle

“Anger is not bad. Anger can be a very positive thing, the thing that moves us beyond the acceptance of evil.” - Joan Chittister

“The world needs anger. The world often continues to allow evil because it isn't angry enough.” - Bede Jarrett

“Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.” - William Shenstone

Contact your congress critters. Write letters to the editor. Wall the White House on twitter. Facebook your friends. Educate them however you can. Demonstrate in the streets. Do whatever it takes to bring an end to this atrocious stranglehold on OUR government by big oil.

There are a few in Congress and the White House that will support us immediately. The rest will cave under the pressure. It is time to fight back with everything we have.

We have the power to change this now. Let us not squander this opportunity. Let not the devastation that is currently underway in the Gulf be for nothing. The time is ripe for action!

Please. Let us make it so. We have the power. We only need to decide it's time to use it. If not now, then when? If not here, then where?

This is your call to arms. Does anyone feel like answering?
