Let the events that have unfolded over past few weeks serve as a clarion call to all progressive dems. If you have felt discouraged... if you have felt hopeless... if you have felt yourself giving in to the beginnings of despair... let these events be your impetus to stop thinking negatively about our chances in this fight!

We all saw the entire right-wing spin machine move into high gear the past few weeks. We heard their whores louder with each passing week, begging and imploring the people of CT to maintain the status quo (encroaching corporatism). And we saw them FAIL.

So please, those of you (and I hope there are VERY few here) who have so far not had the energy or motivation to ACT on the views you share with each other here... please take that extra step NOW, and don't stop!


Write LTTE's.

Call in to talk shows.

Talk to your neighbors!

Volunteer to help campaigns.

Contribute if you can.

Write and call your elected representatives. OFTEN! There is no shortage of elected officials to lobby for change, and certainly no shortage of issues to sound off about. Be the squeaky wheel!


I've seen and heard so many excuses why people aren't doing these things. I hope I don't hear or see those excuses ever again. If you're too lazy to act, then at least have the intelligence and good manners to keep your complicit mouth shut about it!

I also don't want to see any more defeatism. If you want to preach "it won't matter because..." then you have no reason to communicate with anyone here. Go spew that crap elsewhere! Nobody wants it here, or at any other progressive site!


Do whatever you can. Each and every time you can. We are faced with the death of democracy.

GET TO IT!
