DUer Request for Action - It is time for everyone to be an activist!

The Next Two Days May be the Most Important of our Lives

It is time for everyone to be an activist!

Tomorrow, the course of our country will be determined for at least decades to come. If Bush wins, it is clear that he, and his group of right-wing extremists, plan to finish transforming our country. They plan on transforming it into something that our founding fathers never intended. Our country will become a place that is only "friendly" to the privileged few; and adheres to a very narrow intolerant belief system. In addition, we will become even more isolated and unsupported by the rest of the world - possibly irrevocably.

And those who want to do us harm will only become more inflamed and multiply. The world (including our country) will increasingly become a much more dangerous place to live. The net effect of a Bush win would be that the disturbing trends we have seen over the last four years would become much more extreme and permanent.
So, if ever it was a time for action, it is NOW! In the remaining day before the election, I suggest that you do everything you can to help assure Bush's defeat. I have listed things we all can do to bring this about. Of course, any suggestions are welcome also.

All these posts are designed to help people have an impact on tomorrow's vote. But they won't do any good if they sink into DU "never-never land" (where they are now).

Thank you
