I have not been here much, been out pushing a progressive agenda on my corporate contacts.
No easy feat, but I always liked a challenge.
Reminding them that support of the American People = Profits, not just job slashing, and temporary fixes to an economic tsunami.
This morning I read many many diaries, some of the front page, and allot of comments, And MY question stands......
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO ACTUALLY GET UP AND DO SOMETHING, instead of just writing about it.
The time has come for action. We need to take control back of our government and our lives.
I am squatting in a house that has been foreclosed on, with no job, on disability, wondering why there are no strikes, no protests, no peaceful organized rallies, But there are Millions of Blogs.
Pre Blog, (well ok Pre computer) all we had were the streets to get our voices heard.
Now we have a mass media, that will allow for a coast to coast dissemination of information to coordinate a really REALLY BIG workers protest.
What do we do, type? Well I don't know, but there are enough of us here to form a big rally, Just look at the blog convention, all of them walking on Washington?
There are Over 4000 on Facebook alone, for Netroots. Hey can you 4000 get to DC, I mean you can get to Vegas and all that, OH yeah might be a job in Vegas, or it is self serving in some way, you get to meet the front pagers something.
But the DC thing you will tell me over and over how useless it is, how a strike will have no effect, walking on Washington does not even make the news!
If you want a corporation to change, hit them in the profits. Don't Buy their stuff, or any stuff they are affiliated with, then you will see change. If you want a better political environment, hit them in the Votes, then you will see change.
Other wise feel free to type, better to be a marginalized threat than a real threat to the status quo right.
