[NVMojo]

in case I buried it under the wrong caption ...for those of you interested in putting your actions behind your mouths with Kerry ...

Daily Vigil at Senator John Kerry's House, 12/28 - 1/5
Coalition Against Election Fraud

There will be a daily vigil from 12:30-1:30 p.m. at Senator John Kerry's

1. Great kick

[Radio_Lady]

52. Bigger kick! n/t

[Radio_Lady]

2. This is a great idea...

Wish I still lived in Sudbury, Massachusetts. I would join this action. As it is, I emailed as many liberal Senators as I could think of, including Sen. Kerry, about this matter.

Good luck! Post some pictures if you can!

In peace, Radio_Lady

3. I hope you get lots of folken.

I wish I could be there. It sounds worthwhile. I hope Kerry is there.

[txindy]

7. Wherever he is, I imagine he's very busy

Busy coordinating this investigation, I mean.

I just hope all of the freepers and wingnuts who now know how to get to his house don't show up, too.

[ailsagirl]

4. Thanks for posting this

[NVMojo]

6. you can almost hear the slow and patient breathing of DU-ers

across the nation ...waiting for tomorrow ...What Will Kerry Do?

I hope he can get it done.

[ailsagirl]

12. Hi, NV!!!

[bear425]

5. If I were in Boston, I would be in front of his house holding a candle

to let him know we have his back. That's why we need to all go to DC on the 6th if not before!

[puddycat]

8. Since Kerry conceded so quickly, I doubt if he'll withhold his vote

I was very disappointed by how fast Kerry conceded after the election, and that very fact doesn't give me much hope that he'll withhold his vote to certify. But the vigil certainly doesn't hurt--and may actually inspire others to withhold their vote.

[karlrschneider]

9. I definitely commiserate with the effort, but do you really think it'd be

a good idea for him -personally- to get into the limelight on this issue right now? I'm terribly afraid it would be perceived by a LOT of people as a "sore loser" strategy. Yes, I know all about the bogus "election", but don't forget we're dealing with a body politic that probably actually did award ~50M votes for the Chimp. I guess there really is no 'good' timing for doing anything pro-active...it has probably been "too soon" up until some point, after which it will be "too late."

The question is, of course exactly when IS the precise point in time to do it? DAMIFINO...

:eyes:

[liam97]

10. A wonderful strategy

A message from MLK I wish I cd give to JK

Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question,'Is it politic?'
Vanity asks the question, "Is it popular?'
But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?'
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

[proudbluestater]

15. Great quote by MLK

America has never had a speaker as eloquent as Martin Luther King. There was a man who really DID have divine inspiration. His words just flowed like a river.

Reminds me of that song, Abraham, Martin and John. "Anybody here seen my old friend John...?"

[Mira]

13. With your timidity I'm scared it may have been catching

Yes, it is a good thing for him to get in the limelight, yes it is a good thing for him to shore up our last lagging bits of support, yes it is a good time to stand up and be strong in the face of rampant fraud in the election, and yes it is WAY HIGH TIME for him to support us who have given so much of our time, energy and money.

Yes, high time before nothing he may ever do again will ever matter again.

39. Remember "The Mouse that Roared?"

The mouse actually roared.



It didn't go skiing.

43. Losing by fraud justifies being a "sore loser."

[liberalhistorian]

11. I desperately wish I could be there,

but unfortunately I live in @#$@#%#@$^!@$@^@#%!@$@!#%!@$^ Ohio! I hope you get a ton of people every night at the vigil, and I hope Kerry pays attention. Will Pitt lives in Boston, is he going to be joining you?

[KaliTracy]

14. then at least come to Columbus on the 3rd

I live in Ohio, too. I can't go to Washington, nor Mass, either. Every living, breathing, committed body counts.... :-)

[liberalhistorian]

17. January 3?

Hey, that's my 4oth birthday! I would like to try and come then, that'd be a great way to spend a milestone birthday.

[KaliTracy]

19. here is some info

http://www.caseohio.org/CalendarEvents.htm

Happy birthday! -- it's my 40th year too--(only in the summer...) definitely a way to spend a milestone birthday!

There's a couple of different times posted -- I'm going to be writing a couple of places tomorrow to get a solid time. Keep an eye on these links. -- the earliest it would start would be 11 -- I'm going to try and make it there by then just in case. Hope you can make it! Where in Ohio are you? I'm in the Cinci area

[liberalhistorian]

21. Thanks for the info,

I'm going to see what I can do. I'm in Painesville, which is about twenty miles east of Cleveland. I have family friends in Cinci, so I'm sort of familiar with some areas.

[proudbluestater]

16. Fantastic idea! Wish I could be there!

[candice]

18. Isn't Kerry vacationing in Ketchum, Idaho?

That's where he was when the phone card to soldiers email was sent.

[Barney Rocks]

20. yes---Kerry is in

Idaho. That is where he usually spends his winter holiday.

I hope standing in front of an empty house does someone some good.

23. Is such language necessary?

Personal attacks are wholly unwarranted, friend.

[Dancing_Dave]

25. Then let's track down his Idaho Lodge and Candle Light Vigil

Out there. Surely some Western DU'rs could do it.

But under the circumstances, I have a feeling he won't be on vacation much longer.

[angel54321]

26. I was thinking the same thing too n/t

[PaganPreacher]

40. Why, there's nothing like a good case of frostbite!

Here you go, vigil warriors:



Maybe the "staff" will take pity on you, and bring you some warm soup.

The Pagan Preacher
I don't turn the other cheek.

[PaganPreacher]

42. Vacationing in Jesusland?

He's out skiing in Red snow, riding a Red ski lift, eating Red food, and buying Red gasoline.

How dare he?

That's a pure-D slap in the face to every good DU-er that is fighting for him, and for the integrity of our electoral process.

If he really cared about us, he'd take his ski vacation in Vermont, and "spend Blue."



The Pagan Preacher
I don't turn the other cheek.

[Vektor]

24. Is it appropriate...

...to be posting directions to his house?

[Stand and Fight]

27. Thanks for pointing that out.

I was wondering about that whole thing myself. I mean, our good friends, John D. and Jane D. FReeper are surely watching... Not to mention the fact that there are some people, who are not necessarily Republicans, that really ought to not have this information. They might go and commit unquestionable acts in the name of "the cause." I really wish there was a way of divining who we could trust on here... Alas! I still don't think it is such a good idea to post directions to his house on here. I mean, why not hold a vigil in Washington in front of Senate? How many here would be comfortable with their home address, much less directions, be given for God knows who to see?

JMHO... My humble sane opinion. I don't think that Senator Kerry would care for this -- it can very easily be construed as crossing the lines. Stalking in a way... There are better ways to get a message across. Excellent idea, but a bit creepy...

:eyes:

[Vektor]

28. I like the idea of a vigil...

...but not the invasion of the Kerrys' privacy.

[angel54321]

29. not really......

you can do a search on white pages or yellow pages and find just about anyones addy...john kerry's included

[Vektor]

30. Whaaaaaaat?

He's in the White Pages? Really?
:o

[angel54321]

31. yeah, do a google search white pages n/t

[Vektor]

49. Wow...

I didn't know that. Hrm...

[txindy]

46. I agree with you

I had the same concerns in my earlier post (#7). Just because someone can do something doesn't mean they should do it. Your idea about holding the vigil in front of the Senate is excellent. Far better than publicly giving out directions to someone's private home.

[NVMojo]

41. the directions are listed on the attached link ...

not something I made up.

[Senator]

32. Hey, Liberals! Stop worrying...

...about being too pushy. Or stepping on someone's toes.

You may well inherit the earth, but that's no way to take your country back.

We must ALL rush noisily to any action like this that we can stage.

You must make the injustice visible -- Gandhi

If at all possible, get your butt out there for at least one session. It only takes a couple more people to turn a "group" into a "crowd."

If anyone up there can manage it, set up a webcam. Then many more can attend virtually and we can publish a sign-in list of "attendees."

Just stop worrying and DO something.

[graywarrior]

33. Yeah, we have the power

[Senator]

47. And we can prove it >>

[Fly by night]

37. Damn straight, Senator!!

I'm sick to death of the prissy "progressives" (sic) here in Tennessee who are too genteel (or just too downright lazy and thin-skinned) to get in this battle. We need to be on the phones and in front of computers calling and writing our representatives (and everyone we know) and we need to be in the streets -- everywhere -- now, taking this country back. If I were in Boston or Ketchum, I'd be in front of the Kerrys' home, showing them that we have their back (and their front and their sides). As it is, we're working on another Gathering To Save Our Democracy here in Nashville, planning to take a bus load to Columbus, OH on 1/3 and to DC on 1/6 and discussing being in front of our senators' offices in Nashville on January 6 to show solidarity for the DC marchers.

This time, THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED. And it may not be pretty BUT it will be the most important thing we do for this country in our lifetimes.

[Imagevision]

34. Directions to Kerry's house going out to the world? WOW!...

This should be interesting -- what about Electoral count today?
C-SPAN -- yes/no???

[keepthemhonest]

35. excellent IDEA

and kudos to those who can make it. I'll tell my sister and her husband who live in MA

[AtLiberty]

36. I can't attend the vigil, but...

I just sent JFK another e-mail urging him to take a strong stand. Also, I've e-mailed every Dem I know asking them to do the same.

[lonestarnot]

38. I will be there in spirit! Please light a torch on my behalf!

[MissBrooks]

45. I wish I could be there...

I wish I could be there with everyone!

Good luck, have fun - dress warm!

[maduroftime]

48. Two thumbs up, way up!!!

Good luck to all that decide to participate in the vigil. For those of us who can't make it, what do you all think would be the best way we could show support?

[Kota]

50. How about a blackout?

No lights for a couple hours.

[newyawker99]

51. Hi maduroftime!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[peabody71]

:kick:

[madison2000]

55. kick!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[GetTheRightVote]

56. I will come from NC to join you, but on Jan 3/Jan 6, OH/DC rallies

On these dates I will be at the protest rallies, it is all going to be great. I even took off next week so that I can participate in as many protest/rallies etc. that I can. I want to show my Amerian spirit and support for a better Democracy.

:bounce:

[keepthemhonest]
