Hi x, I did call and send russ feingold his sunflowers.  It was an interesting time for me to do this.  When I called, I got two women who did not understand what was happening with this movement.  When I explained to her, they said they might do it likewise.  Quite by accident, advertisement by word of mouth, got two more to support our movement.  I ask that others do this too.  Show the rest of America that we are out here and are for real and we are leading a cause for change in status quo.

One of the women really was verbal about her unhappiness of our government.  So while waiting, instead of being put on hold, we talked...that is what it is gonna take, talking to others.

NOw to our complacency on what our government does.  We the ppl have been what it has been all about from the very beginning.  We the ppl are what it is gonna take to change the atmosphere of politics overall....in both parties.  We the ppl have always had the power...when are we gonna use that power to take back our America.  As I see it, I too have been very unhappy since 1999 and had a clue as to what would happen with this selective group of ppl we have running the show now.  When it takes the military to make this happen, that says a lot.  I actually think they have fooled a lot of ppl who really believed in this war and the policies of this government.  They are now awakening to reality and they now know what we have known for a very long time.

We must have a plan to push this over the top.  This plan has to be swift and accurate.  We must get on with this and do it NOW!  We have addressed so many problems here at Booman, but I have not heard the consorted effort as to what we as a group must do on a daily basis to get the job done.  

I have advocated that we must join others in getting this done.  Martin, I advocate that you, as our leader here, ask other leaders of other sites to make it a unison/united message to get out to the ppl inside the beltway and other sites of government, ie, governors of states, and get the message out and strongly.  Once we start this movement, and now is the time, we will have impact.  We must take over the congress to get a lot done and we have to get it done solidly with impact, for them to really understand what we want.  The atmosphere is ripe for this NOW!

I watched c-span this w/e and this was discussed. This has been slowly going on for about a year now.  I hear it so much so now, that I am truly amazed as to how we can get such an easy job to do this change.   We have a chance as progressives to make a big jump into the whole of the abyss for our cause.  We must do it now or loose our chance for change.  Just some thoughts as to what I see and am hearing.  

I decided about a month or so ago to just listen to others.  Hear really what they are saying, instead of pronouncing what I want all the time.  The message I hear is not that much different that what we have been saying all along.  We have to just listen and get into conversation with them and see what we can do for this change.  That really takes courage from us to actually do the listening.  Then when we do speak, mean what it is that we want and not stumble around trying not to make anyone angry for what we really believe in.  Bring to the forefront of the actual problems that really needs to be addressed.  They are now asking for help to get this change.  It will come from us and has to be done from a very prudent way of which we should govern hereafter.  FOR WE WILL WIN IN  THE END!!!!!  As always, this is just my opinion.
