[I spoke with Supersoling tonight and we are on for Sunday.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words.
Have no doubt, we take you with us. :)]

Supersoling and I are meeting on the Capitol Steps this Sunday, the 22nd, at 10:00 AM.

If any of you are able to join us, we would be delighted to have you stand with us.

If any of you are doing “stand ups” in your community or a city near you, please share your plans.

What is the point?
In 2000 my reaction to Bush’s election was along the lines of, “I can’t believe we elected this guy. Oh well, this, too, shall pass.”

But here it is, 2006. And it just keeps getting worse and worse.

I went to work on Wed., thinking (more hoping actually) that Reid’s caucus was going to be very significant. When I got home I came right here to BT to find out what had transpired.

Surely the Dems built upon Gore’s impassioned speech to declare they would not engage in any legislative work, including voting on Alito, until a special prosecutor was appointed and an investigation of Bush’s illegal wiretapping was begun. In other words, the Congressional Dems would go on strike.

Well.

So, what is the point of two people standing on the Capitol steps?

Is this the “best” use of time? Money? Energy? Is this a “good strategy?”

I don’t know.

I don’t do “street theater” and I don’t shout in public. So, for me, this is a baby step in standing up. I figure I will be called upon to do more and more public actions of one kind or another.

If you have any thoughts on what you would do if you were able to join us, please offer them. (I don’t sing in public either!)

If you can join us, please do!
