Here’s what I just sent to the MoveOn action forum website,
hope they list it!
Comment title: Help organize and join in mass resistance to
drive out the Bush regime on October 5th, because the World Can’t Wait!
Bush and company are a menace to the planet; they stubbornly
wage an evil and unnecessary war in Iraq,
a war which is unsupported by most of us here in the U.S. and is costing us allies
throughout the world. Empire is their
goal, and all their alleged justifications were lies (as many knew at the
onset). The financial cost is
unsustainable and the toll in human lives and bodies of their heedless
misadventures is of course both unacceptable and still not even yet fully
realized.
The war is reason enough for this well-timed mass protest;
add in torture, civil liberty attacks, Katrina racism, religious zealotry intruding
in our private lives, and economic warfare against all but the very rich and it
is clearly past time for drastic action.
Some citizens in their frustration and mistrust of the administration
are even willing to believe or at least consider the possibility that the
horror of 9/11 was self-inflicted!
Having positive goals is wonderful, but if ever we have
needed to say a big NO, end this war, reject their entire agenda, and MOVE ON,
it is now. As individuals and as an
organization we must endorse, support and help the group which has risen up
with courage, energy and vision to take them on in a frontal assault — World
Can’t Wait [www.worldcantwait.org].
We shouldn’t have allowed business and politics as usual
when they stole the presidency (the first time that is) in 2000 — let’s not
have to look back and realize that we didn’t do everything we could to end this
madness.
