We worked hard to get a deserving person into office. today, let's savor our victory and relax. But we have much more work to do. And Obama will still need our help and power.
As we speak, Bush is trying his best to loot the treasury on his way out the door. he is gutting the environmental laws and trashing the wilderness, so his buddies can make even more money.
We have many tasks before us. Stopping Bush is the first one.
The second task is to remover the crooks from office and run off the lobbyists. We do that through exposure. I can bet right now that the crooks are scuttling for cover, becasue they know their days are numbered, and maybe they can hid and get away with their crimes. They need to be brought to light and we can do that.
The third task we can do is to build criminal cases against those who destroyed our country and bring the crooks to justice and this includes the crook in chief- Bush. Bush and his cronies cannot be allowed to la-te-da away from the mess they made and the laws they broke. It is time for justice to speak. This is not revenge, no more than a cop arresting a petty thief. It is simply adherence to the laws of the land, and letting the Bush cabal know they are not above the law.
The fourth task is to counter the inevitable right wing backlash. You know the racists & winguts will scream and yell and maybe even try something dangerous, but they, and their mouthpieces, need to be monitored. Rush, Hannity, ad nauseum, will be desperate to find a way to keep their little hate acts going. I can't imagine what must be going through their fevered brains right now, but I can bet it doesn't have anything to do with changing their ways.
Finally, we have to watch Obama's back and be ready to help him clean up this country. he will call for action and we need to be ready. he has taken on a huge task and the GOP will do its best to hold on to power and stop him. We have to prevent this. This will probably be our biggest battle here: Wresting power away from those who abused it for so long.
But we can do it. We have done it. But now we have a President that we can work with. Today we rest. tomorrow we take up new battles. Our work continues on new fronts.
