Mass Mobilization, October 5th, 2006

On Thursday, OCTOBER 5TH, 2006: All day and into the night, across the country, we must decidedly break the paralysis that still grips too much of American political life.

Taking off work, taking off school, shutting down campuses and coming together in mass gatherings, we must let the country and the world know that:

millions of us reject this illegitimate regime that is as criminal as it is dangerous to humanity & the existence of this planet.

we refuse to grow accustomed to a political climate that is becoming everyday more frightening & reactionary....

On October 5th we will make a breach in the walls being cemented all around us to say Enough! with mass political action that does not compromise with torture & unjust wars, that rejects bowing down to theocrats and the immorality of empire.

On October 5 join us in a day of honest, courageous resistance. What will you do to take responsibility for the future?

Change the course of history. This regime does not represent us and we will drive it out!

Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.

Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.

Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.

Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.

Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.

Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.

People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.

Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and outraged by this. They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the challenge, and people sense this.

There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections and believe they're on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight.

There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people.

But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn — or be forced — to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it.

And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.

Acting in this way, we join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.

This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.

The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.

The World Can't Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!

 

what i suggest is people organise to make sure that they vote in states/voting booths that they consider safe. if the votes are being stolen/ or burnt then you may have to consider moving for the election. for black people this will mean temporarily moving state so they can vote moving out florida or other seriously corrupted states. this will mean that florida will get a 99.99% vote for bush's brother but it will mean that other states marginally bushco will be tipped over the line. do not think that voting democrat will bring manna from heaven, the democrats wanted and supported the war in iraq and refused to question highly questionable election results (remember fahrenheit 911?). this election do not vote democrat or republican they have proven themselves unworthy of serious consideration. the countrys future now lays in the hands of the young, the impoversished, poor, disenfranchised and the intelligent with a conscience. the main thing is to stay out of jail before the election as the swinging vote is going to be thrown into jail. is it two years beforew the election in the usa? if each person reading this thread can persuade one person to not vote busco and his fellow travellers democracy and a republic will be restored, if you don't america will be thrown into a century of turmoil, there will be no victory.

 

I was with you up to the point where you were trying to get me to approve of baby killing.(or maybe we should call it "infantcide")

All rights are based on one fundamental right,that is "the right to life".If the right to life isnt protected all the others dont mean shit.

 

I'm with phaedros, scientists have proven brainwave activity in fetus.

And besides that you don't propose any leaders names that will take over, I'm not for kicking out the devils we have now in favor for devils I have no idea who they are, they may be worse. My suggestion is stay home and get some extra sleep. lol

peace
