Promise that you won't give up

[madison2000]

Promise that you will stay angry and use that anger to keep working at this until the whole Bush presidency falls apart, whether its next week or next month or next year or the year after.

[lonestarnot]

1. PROMISE! BIATCH WITH PITCHFORK!

:grr: :nuke:

[davidlynch]

2. I Won't Give Up--I've Already Decided That n/t

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

3. Nope.....Anger turned into action. Quest for sanity in 06/08 etc. n/t

[insane_cratic_gal]

4. Not giving up

Edited for an additional thought.
They may have shut us up with HAVA in 2000

this time around I won't be silent

Until the right to vote is a Constitutional Right! Until all electronic machines are banned from voting booths, until the software and machines are taken away from Republican Companies and returned to the people of the USA

[derby378]

5. Oh, don't worry...

I'm going to turn into the Democrat version of Invader ZIM. Sounds silly, yes, but I've already got a few plans up my sleeve to start depriving neo-cons of some of their ill-gotten money. Every little bit helps...

I'll try to keep you folks posted.

[HEAVYHEART]

6. ..

If it takes a month, 4 years, or 40 years, I WILL NOT, NOT EVER, NEVER, EVER GIVE UP! I decided this yesterday. With all the stuff happening lately, the disappointments, I started to feel down and depressed all over again, disappointed in our dem leaders, etc, and I was ready to give up and move on to be honest. But not today or anytime in the future. I'm in this for as long as it takes to get our democracy back! I will never ever give up!!!!

[jdog]

7. In it for the long haul. n/t

[madison2000]

8. Activism is the cure for being soulsick n/t

[SheilaT]

9. Keep on working is the crucial part.

Get involved at the grass roots level. Run for office. Become a precinct committee chair. Go door-to-door on behalf of someone.

We need to take the Democratic party over from the bottom, and we can do it.

[Straight Shooter]

14. Promises aren't needed from me

You can see the fire in my eyes to know i'll never give up. I don't wake up in too happy knowing my country is on a fast pace to full blown fascism!

[s-cubed]

15. I PROMISE!

[KyndCulture]

16. No surrender, No retreat! LongHaulSally here.

[GetTheRightVote]

17. I promise with my life not to give up on this fight. we are at war.

We are at war, we are in the battle field of Nov 2 every four years (plus every election), we are a divided country, if we give up we lose the war and our freedoms, we are dictated to by a partisan group who have stolen our Democracy from us and fear that we may discover the truth and fight back.

We know the truth, we must fight back, we can not give up on us, but most importantly for all that is best in this country we must Win.

[seito]

18. No Retreat No Surrender

Not in this lifetime.

[candice]

23. Just beginning ...

the democratic party should be active at the grassroots level (using meetups)...bring more into the fold. We've seen what the small donor can do--it equals the special interest money. People were incredibly motivated to work to overturn Bush. I will never have any respect for a partisan Supreme Court that selected the loser. The state of Florida should have held another election without Katherine Harris' false felon rolls, butterfly ballots, or police blocking the roads to the polls from African-American districts. One valid ID should have been requested from everyone--not multiple from those who tend to vote Democratic--don't have your current utility bill? Sorry.

The Black Caucus and individuals in Ohio who have been denied their legal right to vote need to continue the protest if nothing is done to rectify the wrongs. Ken Blackwell thinks he is going to be rewarded with the governorship of Ohio, a la Katherine Harris. Everything possible should be done to inform the world of his dual roll as czar of voting and co-chair of the Bush campaign in Ohio (most people don't believe this when they hear it) and of his actions (if the reports are true, he belongs in jail, but the chances of his being reprimanded are slight until people stand up for their rights). Here is California, the action-figure governor (where would he be without steroids?) met with Rove & Bush before going in to oust a duly-elected governor in a recall bought by a Congressman who cried when Terminator entered the "race." Terminator campaigned for Shrub in Ohio and has collected more money from special interests than Davis ever did (the main "reason" that Davis had to go). Land for endangered species is being prepped for developers who contribute money to the Terminator. This is the sensitive environmental who has 6 hummers. Wake Up Amerika!

[Darknyte7]

19. Agreed...

No retreat, no surrender...

[FogerRox]

20. I aint lyin down for no Bush --noway--nohow- no time

In fact--Those in the NYC area might want to go to the 51 capitalsmarch site--message board --then scroll to NJ look for the MSM CBS protest

[libertypirate]

21. Never will I accept failure

[dzika]

22. Give up?

Who said anything about giving up?

Frankly, the thought hasn't entered my mind. There is only one choice.

I won't give up. I promise.

[gulogulo]

24. Never giving up

Until the election system is fixed, there is no point in voting if your vote will get stolen anyway! So the system has to be fixed first.

[madison2000]

25. kick!

:kick:

[Carolab]

26. NEVER

This is my KEY ACTIVISM ISSUE. I work on it constantly and will continue.

It's about our DEMOCRACY. It's about INTEGRITY. It's about HONESTY. All values I care about deeply.

[Blue_In_AK]

27. I will NEVER give up .... promise! n/t

[grumpy old fart]

28. I'm never giving up....just wish the DNC would feel the same....

but then again, I know where my convictions lie. Not so sure the DNC does.

[RaulVB]

29. I will never give up!

If we do, this country will look very "Stalinesque" in the future.

Maybe "Orwellian" is a better word...

[SmokingJacket]

30. Can't give up.

Because then I would be complicit in their crimes.

:grr:

[Lisabtrucking]

31. I Promise.

[KaliTracy]

32. cross my heart_xxx

i'm in this for the long haul

[Greybnk48]

33. Promise!!

I'm fairly new here but I'm in for the long haul. I with the rest of you waited four LONG years to bring these people down. Now to have this denied by fat cat trickery has cemented my resolve.

[KaryninMiami]

34. I will never give up

Even though it's costing me the respect of friends and family who just wish I'd "get over it", "Move On" and "face the fact that Bush won". I can't. I won't and he didn't win. Period.

Thank God for the community here at D.U. If it wasn't for you all, and for the daily dose of support (not to mention news!) that you provide, I would be feeling totally alone.

We can do this and we must.

[Hamoth]

35. I wont be angry.

I'll be GLAD to be doing my part. I am EXCITED that so many americans who only months ago knew NOTHING are now waking up and participating in the process. Ours is a cause worthy of celebration, and I wont give it up.

[Daybreaker]

36. Are you kidding? I'm having a blast!

This won't be the last fight, whether we win or lose. If we actually manage to succeed, we'll still have another challenge just over the horizon. And if we should fail, we'll still have another opportunity.

It isn't like the movies. We want all of our problems to be either solved or illustrated in two hours -- maybe as many as four if we're talking about an extended DVD edition of our problems -- but that's just not the way the world works. In the real world, you have to get up every day and do what you can to make things a little better, and there are no clearly defined beginnings, middles or ends. It's all one steady march, and the light at the end of the tunnel will always remain at the end of the tunnel.

Sometimes you'll think you've failed when you've really won, and sometimes you'll think you've won when you've really failed. No one knows how anything turns out in the end, because there is no end. So you just have to take your best guess and run with it.

There will be good days and bad. All I can promise is that I'll show up for both.

Float like a battleship, sting like a brick. :)

[skids]

37. I don't need to be angry...

I have a cold, lizard-like malice that keeps me going, and will last for as long as I want. :evilgrin:

[AntiFascist]

38. I promise.....

[politicasista]

39. I will never give up.

I promise (despite days of drinking of kool-aid LOL!)

[blueatheart]

40. Not giving up..

I knew from moment I saw Bush that if he got into office in 2000 we would go to war and that he was trouble. Can see it in his eyes.

:yourock: Keep up the good work.

[roseBudd]

48. Download the file, print it, head to Kinkos

BUSH CHEATED prints two to a page so you have to cut them. They are color but you can photocopy them B&W to save $$$

I use 3M Super 77 spray adhesive from Staples $11. I spray the surface and the afix the BUSH CHEATED. Great for metal utility poles, bus stop shelters, newspaper racks and phone booths. I tend do it where there is existing graffiti. It will hang around longer. Everyone who witnessed me doing it today was supportive and emboldened. BUSH CHEATED 04 is OUR Sore Loserman!

53. Will do!

[politicasista]

45. Is that in Ohio or somewhere else?

Nice.:thumbsup:

[roseBudd]

68. I am posting BUSH CHEATED 04 in SW Ohio but it would be great

if they started popping up everywhere. We don't have to prove or go into a lot of detail with supporters. It's like thye intuitively know it.

If these start popping up everywhere, Rove will really be pissed off.

[zann725]

74. Maybe also a poster: "No taxation WITHOUT representation."

Worked for our Forefathers. Should also work with those who are currently spending, and/or currently making plans to spend our present and future tax dollars. The very same who ignored and suppressed our votes.

Just wanted to check updates quickly and he came in. Why are so many like my husband wanting to throw our plans and hopes away??

[lakelly]

92. Rock and Roll people

In the words of modern day poet, Tom Petty

"Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down

Chorus:
(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down"

[proud_Kucitizen]

93. Not me

no way I will ever give up. Oh I get depressed every once in awhile and think what's the friggin use but I always think of my kids and then get angry again.

[tommcintyre]

94. If Bush gets inaugurated, we all must redouble our efforts to...

SAVE DEMOCRACY!

And our only chance of that is election reform (paper trail, random audits, open voting machine source code, etc.).

And our only chance of election reform is to expose election fraud in every way possible! (It will never happen if election fraud fades away, they tried before the election and failed!)

Without election reform, DEMOCRACY IN THE US DIES FOREVER IN 2006!

100% Evoting (HAVA mandated by 2006)+ no paper trail, etc. = no more democracy! EVER!

"...we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." John F Kennedy

Do I promise. Damn Straight.

I will stand beside each and every one of you, whether you are here on DU or in exile out on the streets. This treachery will not stand. * & Co will be brought down and held accountable for crimes against this nation and humanity. If they think the elephant never forgets, they better check with THIS ASS. They have awoken a sleeping giant and she is not going down until Truth and Justice Prevail.

if we don't have a democracy we have nothing.

Jan 6th and Jan 20th are important days but they are not the end-all.
