Am I the only person here who wants to take to the streets?

[DURHAM D]

I am 63 and once again an angry feminist. I knew going in that supporting Hillary would open up some old wounds and old feelings around gender issues. I did not expect to feel this betrayed by my country (again).

I told a friend today that I want to go to a national convention for 3, 5 or 7 days and rant about the media and how few women are in the right positions in our courts and our national and state legislatures. I have the time and the means. I am pissed. Any ideas?

1. I feel like going to the convention and storming through the doors.

[DURHAM D]

2. Could we stir shit up if we went to the Democratic National Convention

even though I won't be a delegate. Hell, I don't even know how to become a delegate in this stupid state - N.C.

[goldcanyonaz]

3. We sure as hell could. I'm one woman who is mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.

I'm sick of us just watching from the sidelines as we as women are being hung out to dry.

[theHandpuppet]

6. Let's do it!

I'm ready. I'm mad as hell and as a woman and gay person in America, I ain't gonna take this shit anymore!

7. hey love--lets do it--as i said $$ is tight but if I have a cause----maybe.

[rodeodance]

8. I will talk later- ok----as i am sure others will.

[goldcanyonaz]

9. We need a grass root campaign to meet in Denver! I'm in.

[DURHAM D]

11. I am there. I am not kidding. eom

[DURHAM D]

10. Wonder if we could actually organize something.

I am so peeved at Obama for being sexist, ageist and homophobic. I am disgusted with his supporters who are nothing but a bunch of over-wrought juvenile wankers. They have no idea that we have been pushed beyond our limits. They (being stupid and with no historical perspective) don't get the importance of the Democratic party and the necessity of the participation of older females in the day to day party process.

If Hillary is not the nominee - this November for the first time in 36 years I won't spend the day out front of a polling place pushing my candidate.

4. If I can save $$ I would go with you. would know in 1-2 months. I too am so angry

that i feel like i want to punch someone==going to denver would redirect my energy

[DURHAM D]

12. What state are you in? eom

[rodeodance]

5. I am afraid that after all the sexism in this primary--it will be a LONG time before another woman

runs

just can not shake off that feeling

13. No you definitely are not the only one.

I was convinced tonight, that more than
ever, the 'good ol' boy network' is alive
and well. They would rather promote an
inexperienced junior senator than support
an experienced, former First Lady for the
Party's nomination. The sad way that he has
to basically offer a watered down version of
her proposals and is let get away with it is
pathetic. The media is definitely biased
against Hillary and have treated her with no
respect whatsoever.

14. I'm in too except I'm not a woman

Would that be an issue or problem with anyone?

[BlackVelvet04]

15. Not me.....

the more the merrier.

I'm ticked off enough to drop in tonight from my visit to VA Beach, VA. I didnt' see but a couple of minutes of the debate. I'm hoping to find a video of it.

[rodeodance]

16. hey babes, nice of you to pop in.---we had our own little Thread in here tonight. missed yah. later

[kikiek]

26. You are missed!

[rodeodance]

17. CERTAINLY NOT--------and if anyone objects--PiFF to them (i do not think anyone will:-)

[zabet]

18. Not at all!

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

19. Some of the most ardent feminists I have ever met were

men. :thumbsup:

[DURHAM D]

23. Absolutely not. eom

[kikiek]

24. No problem at all!

[saracat]

20. Nope. But I really feel they don't care.

[judaspriestess]

21. sounds like a damn good cause

I am willing to take to the streets too.

[susankh4]

22. Me and my two sisters are also

MAD AS HELL!

Not sure about taking to the streets. And, I guess that could be our achille's heel.

Cuz you know Obama's supporters will take to the streets if they don't get what they want.

Aw, hell. Let's do it!

[kikiek]

25. I would love to go.

My big problem is getting vacation time then! It is in late Aug right?

[DURHAM D]

27. August 25-28.

I used to live in Denver but have not been there since 1968. I am liking the idea more and more.

[kikiek]

28. I have to see who took that week.

I'm a nurse. There are no extra summer days off!

[xmas74]

29. I just wanted to say to you one thing:

I'm 33 and I hope in another 30 years I have just as much fire as you do!

Right now I'll keep doing what I can from my little neck of the woods. I just don't have the money or the time to do much. (I'm a single mother and I receive no child support. You can guess how well that's going for me and my daughter.) I wish I could do more but...


I just wanted to thank you for everything you plan on doing. Someday I hope that I can do the same.

[elixir]

30. Thanks for the post! I agree, this will be a huge mistake to not let our voices be heard.
