Why was this march about ANSWER? It should have been more Camp Casey. |
|
Fine. Everyone gets to have their issues, but everytime ANSWER is involved it dilutes the message. We should have turned on C-SPAN and seen Camp Casey in DC, not a sad ANSWER rally. Why oh, why does ANSWER always get the coverage. For the most part this day has seemed like a sad end to the Cindy movement. Someone please tell me I'm wrong and that the CSPAN coverage of the beginning was impressive.

hundred thousand people on the streets of DC. Going to our towns rally this afternoon at 4pm and I don't care if the red cross shows up and passes the can. We need people on the streets.

3. Because it was A.N.S.W.E.R.'s rally...their party, their dime |
|
that paid for the permit, therefore, their show.
We need some other group to step up next time...get there first with the plan, the cash, and get the permit. Then, they can keep A.N.S.W.E.R. OFF the Freakin' STAGE!

7. ANSWER planned this last year.. Camp Casey is new.. |
|
Camp Casey will need to plan ahead of United for Peace and justice as well as ANSWER - in order to bring laser beam focus to our get out of Iraq - no more blood for oil movement.
ANSWER started out with the right message - no blood for oil, get out of Iraq now, end the occupation and IMPEACH BUSH, but I think ANSWER will likely fade into the sunset because it cannot seem to practice the art of discipline and self restraint - so that every single march turns into this endless rant - by every megalomaniac who think screaming at the top of their lungs is the same as Speaking Truth to Power.
It is not and they are so very wrong.
Cindy is not like that at all - and I think that her message, which is our message will eventually carry the day.
At least I pray that it does.
