Bush isn't the decider, we are



From Molly...

WE simply cannot let it continue...

We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we’re for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush’s proposed surge. If you can, go to the peace march in Washington on Jan. 27. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, “Stop it, now!”

United for Peace and Justice is organizing the January 27 March on Washington that Molly references, and wouldn't it be something to have as many folks turn out for it as did for the 1963 March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his I Have A Dream speech?

The people always are the deciders, of course, but getting enough of us into the streets demanding change is the tricky thing to do. President Bush, though, is making that task less difficult with each passing day.
