I Had a Dream...

...littteraly. I was hoping & praying that Kerry would win & one night before the election I dreamed that most people actually liked the republican mindset.

I knew then that my hopes for change would go straight into the crapper.

This doesn't mean that there was no voter fraud. All it means is that I saw most Americans liking what they saw -- not that they voted!

The fight for clear & clean election results must win out -- and very soon.

1. I was on an airplane flying from Tennessee to Texas on election
night and about half way home I just got this sick sinking and anxious feeling deep in the pit of my stomach which I just couldn't shake.

Now I know why. and yes, I did early vote before I left town.

2. It's kinda' creepy
when you know that what you want just ain't gonna' happen.

I was really stoked about the election, until somehow I was shown that most Americans wanted Bush.

3. Hmm... since election-eve, I've been quietly confident.
Somewhere deep inside is a strong sense that the Truth will come out. All will be exposed, and people will see our leaders for who they really are; not who they pretend to be.

Now this might not overturn the election (I sure hope it does), but the truth WILL be made known!

4. I literally
dreamt of * being hauled off in the back of a swat van. As he was sitting back there, face full of deepest shame, handcuffed, back doors of the van still open, I somehow made it up to the front of the crowd and I stared at him with such anger, with tears in my eyes. Someone struck his face, also with tears and the kind of look on her face where you just KNEW her child died in his War. The crowd all had his war and his lies on their minds, and we all knew his life as he knew it was over; I could feel everyone thinking these things. The van left for prison and we stood there, even after it had shrunk to nothing. We we stunned - it finally happened. We couldn't move. All we could do was stand there and think.
