ARE YOU READY TO DO SOMETHING??

Disheartened...

Thats how we feel about the response we received from yesterday's post about a General Strike on November 6, 2007.

Each day we cross-post our article on our MySpace blog and yesterday, someone commented on the post by asking what good a one-day strike would do?

Not only is the comment disheartening, it is SO sad!

It just proves how demoralized and hopeless we all feel to do anything to stop the forces that are destroying our country, our economy, and our environment.

In today's news and on the web there is a video being circulated that shows Desiree Farooz, a Code Pink protestor, who was able to confront Condaleezza Rice up close and personal, while holding up “blood-stained” hands. She yelled that Rice is a “war criminal” who should be tried at the Hague as she was literally dragged out of the hearing room. Watch:



Not everyone has the ovaries to take such courageous in-your-face kind action. We admire and appreciate Farooz and Code Pink for their willingness to actually do something.

Instead of sending money to the Democratic Party or to an individual candidate running for office, we are going to send a few bucks to Code Pink for their tenacity and willingness to do our dirty work.

Clearly they are putting themselves on the line. They no doubt need all the help they can get for bail and possibly medical treatment after getting wrestled to the ground and arrested over and over again.

The least we can do to add fuel to their fire is to join in the general strike planned for November 6!

Here is a short video to help remind us about why -- as citizens -- we need to DO something!
