If ever there was a time to look within ourselves and find the strength and confidence to make a difference, to believe in ourselves, to stare back at the face of greed, corruption, and hate - it is now. This is not 2004. We are not fighting a losing battle. We are not staring down a precipice. We have it within us to resist the frame, to control the debate, to own the truth. But we have to stand up. We have to stay strong, we have to be UNITED and in unity push back against the forces of iniquity; look into their lying eyes and say NOT THIS TIME. So many of our brothers and sisters who have made the progressive cause what it is today have died for less.
Do not be distracted.
Get Up
Stand Up
Stand Up For Your Rights
Don't Give Up The Fight
Don't Give Up
Don't Give Up
Don't Give Up The Fight
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah! )
And if you know anyone who is even THINKING about voting for Mitt, tell them 'this could happen to you' Actually it will happen if he wins:
And just think. Just think, when all is said and done after all the blood sweat and tears we can brush the dust off our shoulder and shout:
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Oooooh just think how good that will feel. Makes me want to donate and get that vote out and and give Romney and Ryan the permanent Cayman vacation they deserve.
So please, let's put aside the armchair punditry, the second guessing, the handwringing and turn that frustration into energy and that energy into movement, and that movement into 4 more years for Obama and Biden.
