So its a good thing Sheen, Sarandon, Robbins, Redford, Penn and the

[henslee]

rest of the gang are keeping a low profile, right?

[Blue_In_AK]

1. Yes, IMHO

Better for this to come up from the grass roots, ordinary people. Look how much has been accomplished without these folks.

[Warpy]

12. Not only that, but a celebrity enemy would give them something

outside their own rotten party to focus on and blame for what's about to happen.

Low profiles are good. Assembling information on how the scum got into power is great. Sitting back and watching them purge themselves into oblivion as they blame their own moderates is priceless.

[mod mom]

22. but it would be nice for those folks to send $ to the groups contesting...

the election. the groups are funding out of their pockets with minimal help. A sugar daddy would make a great gift for these hard working patriots! Alliance for democracy, Free Press, CASEOhio.

[dogindia]

2. what?

[Stephanie]

3. yeah

what?

[IAMREALITY]

6. HE SAID

with hands cupped in front of mouth "SO ITS A GOOD THING SHEEN, SARANDON, ROBBINS REDFORD, PENN, AND THE REST OF THE GANG ARE KEEPING A LOW PROFILE, RIGHT?"

hehe

or if you were responding to the first post

"BETTER FOR THIS TO COME UP FROM THE GRASS ROOTS, ORDINARY PEOPLE. LOOK HOW MUCH HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THESE FOLKS"

[Blue_In_AK]

7. Thanks, IAmReality....

I guess I wasn't saying it loud enough. LOL.

[henslee]

14. I just meant there are plenty of non-politician activists who have

a following and who have come forward in the past. And in the face of a MSM bias which is only now starting to throw us a bone or two, I would not mind a few high profile voices. ON EDIT...I do realize that this kind of support comes with a price.

[goclark]

28. What about Harry Belefonte

He has always been an activist and he is believable.

He is retired as far as I know.

Didn't he blast Colin about a year ago?

[Roger_Otip]

4. yes

we have to get over the idea that someone is going to step in and win this for us. they're not. it's down to us. but we can do it.

[AntiFascist]

8. I tend to agree...

if Hollywood folks get involved they are too easy to attack from the Right.

As KO points out, the Conyer's hearings are good exposure, but they are not really the real deal. We COULD get real hearings if the Judiciary Committee is contacted by large numbers of people. I would think there are plenty of disenfranchised African-American voters alone to bring forth the movement that we need to get started.

[Ardee]

11. aww heck

everything everyone says is going to get attacked by the right, so why keep anyone silent?

[AntiFascist]

16. Generally all exposure is good exposure, but....

I could just see this getting framed by the MSM as a crazy, liberal, elitist issue if big movie stars get involved....which it is NOT. Better to let the criminal elements of the story bubble up to the surface and then bring it to a full boil as the heat gets turned up.

[Ardee]

26. I respect your opinion

but I'm of a mind to have as much commotion as possible, from every source possible. Those shitheads are going to denigrate everything we say and everybody who says it anyway.

You know that California elected Schwartzenegger, god help 'em, so big names do register........

[AntiFascist]

27. We already have a leg in with the reporting being done on Countdown....

and in the NYT and Washington Post. As soon as the remaining TV networks begin to cover this that's when we should hit them with everything possible.

[Blue_In_AK]

5. Are you saying what to me or the original poster?

I thought my response was pretty clear.

[dogindia]

9. what? to the original poster

we must have been typing at the same time and yours got there first. I really am not asking what. Certainly not of your response. I know what. I was just being a little weird. This is something important. One can...and I have over the last few days talked about why the quiet.

You are right. WE ARE THE ONES. Not the celebs...not the Dems power....not the left politicos. All quiet.

[myschkin]

10. I don't agree

If Sean Penn or Leonardo di Caprio would raise their voice much more people would be informed about fraud (100 thousends...) and more people would LISTEN to it.

They are like loudspeakers...

[goclark]

19. The Civil Rights Movement used celebs all the time

People worshiped Dr. King but they also marched so they could see Dick k Gregory, Ray Charles,Harry Belefonte and others.

People also want to heard good music when they show up to march.

IMO, we won't get the FRAUD issue off the ground without a few big names backing it up.

People are not going to pour into the streets to see Conyers I regret to say.

They will do it for Madonna, Dixie Chicks, Patti LaBelle, P. Diddy, Usher etc.

If and when John Kerry steps forth, others will follow.

Without Kerry, there is no leader other than JJ and Conyers and Waters etc.

If Michael Moore showed up the streets would be filled.

[myschkin]

20. What if Will Smith would see the Jesse Jackson speach?

Yes, that's why we try to inform these well known people. See:

http://www.1-2-free-forums.com/mf/index.php?mforum=mtf

It's so important!!!!!!!!

[jamboi]

13. yes, but I think some musicians could be helpful right now! n/t

[henslee]

15. Me too. The more I think about it. BRING THE NOISE.

[mod mom]

23. I agree, we are down to the wire!

[Helga Scow Stern]

17. We need to arouse public outcry.

If people listened to these celebrities before the election, why wouldn't they listen now? The RW blasted them then. So what?

[UpsideDownFlag]

18. what? why would it matter, now? nt

[bush_is_wacko]

21. The silence from everone

has been deafening! The media and the rethugs have no one with high visibility to focus the re-direction campaign on! Wow! Maybe that is a GOOD thing!

[ccarter84]

24. bingo, but when it starts to rain, we're gonna wash them away

they better all be lined up to flood the networks, and other media outlets with overwhelming soundbytes for this modern day media to latch onto...now when is that gonna start...anyone?

[Verve]

25. I disagree. The people most against the celebrities are the Repugs!

If the tables were turned and celebrities flocked to the Repugs don't you think they'd be using them right now?

[Griffy]

29. They will join at the right moment... JAN 6th.. DC.. BE THERE!! nt

30. My New Favorite Rock Star is David Cobb

He kinda looks like the guy from Tenacious D.

He was on our local PR station tonight and he sure was making a lot of sense. I think this movement owes that guy and his party big time.

31. Remember when, on Nov. 5th, Susan Sarandon said, "Something

big is about to happen." Do you think they know what's up?
