....must quickly transcend partisan.
The Alliance for Democracy is not partisan.
The partnership forged between Rev Jackson and Mr Arnebeck is not partisan.
Please, everyone, our American franchise of Democracy is at the brink of destruction.
The one way, likely the only way, we can save the rights written with the blood of 2 centuries of those dedicated to expanding the ideals of our Constitution is immediately and vigorously to reach out to all our fellow citizens.
Remember just how many Republicans of stature endorsed Senator Kerry; even before the election they fully understood the threat to our franchise.
As I just wrote to Mr Olbermann:
"Your 'blog' about the hearings is interesting but I think you and many others are not yet reporting to our fellow citizens the severity of the crisis. We are at war, Mr. Olbermann. A war in Iraq, as totally unjust and unjustified as Vietnam, but still a war declared by Mr Bush.
Our Constitution is rather explicit about acts that even attempt to undermine our Government during time of war. What has been done to the electoral process in 2004, already documented, is as severe an act of undermining our Government as any could be -- a systematic denial of citizens' choosing that Government.
You are outstanding, and largely alone, whose responsibility it is to bring the truth about our Government to full exposition for the elucidation of the citizens of our franchise. But, as I mention in the correspondence below, the horse left the barn today and it is not going back in. You and your management team need to begin planning on how you are either going to be a significant partner in saving our American franchise of Democracy or a bit player in chronicling its demise.
I hope you will be truly courageous and I hope those concerned with the economic success of your organization will realize that only one broadcaster is required in a totalitarian state and fox news has got you beat, hands down, for that assignment."
We need to adopt, quickly, a true, impassioned and constant message to everyone, not just 'Democrats,' -- this is not about Kerry or Bush. Neither of them can 'win' because in a democracy the only winners are the people and the people only 'win' when they all have fair access to vote and to the knowledge -- not belief, but knowledge -- that their vote was counted as they intended.
For all of you who read these threads and have so very much more stature, influence and resources than I will ever have, please, please focus on the threat confronting all of us -- we are in the midst of a Constitutional crisis while also in a state of declared war. Spending time on anything other than gathering every one of our friends, neighbors, associates and bringing all of our collective energy to a focus on this crisis is what must be done, now.
Forget the future of the DNC, forget 2006, forget social security, forget all of it -- if we don't save our franchise of democracy now, all those other issues are of zero reality. We will be living in a totalitarian, theocratic state and will be struggling for generations to find our way back to what was achieved at Independence Hall in 1787 and approved by 1789.
Peace.
"Did Bush Know?"
