I feel like my anger is all over the place with so many issues....
Does anyone think it might be a good idea to find a lightning rod to focus our anger against the Bush administration and attack this person everytime he shows his bespectacled defense department mug? Rumsfeld is a huge liability. Why can't we send letters, LTEs, phone calls, etc. discussing his gross negligence and downright hostility to anyone who questions him ? He's such a great target, and the media currently loves him as a subject.
I am open to other suggestions....we could use an issue. But Rumsfeld also represents our problem with the war. And he really is incompetent, cruel, culpable for torture and civilian deaths, etc....
I say let's give them a fight. Start a letter writing campaign. Send Anti-Rumsfeld LTEs, calls, e-mails calling friends to action. Let's put his name out there again and again so that in the future, after the political pendulum has swung left then right again, no one will be able to quietly place him in a government position of power (does anyone remember Poindexter's name showing up earlier this administration? We didn't allow that to stand, now did we?). Don't forget, he's been involved with Iraq before this administration.
So here is some info: right at your fingertips. If anyone out there has other useful outlets (including media) where to send letters, please post them below.

If successful, we can distract the administration from some of it's plans, if very successful we can get Rumsfeld a nice, early retirement.
So, what do you say?
I called yesterday, and I am calling tomorrow.
