We better move on .....

[H2O Man]

I think you better go now , I'm getting mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so
I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on
-- Rolling Stones; 1964


Because I have rural mail delivery, and no credit card, I've got to drive to the nearest US Post Office this afternoon. That's because I have to mail my donation to MoveOn PAC at PO Box 9218; Berkley, CA 94709.

I think it is a sad day when the US Senate wants to pretend the big problem with the war of occupation in Iraq is MoveOn. I think the best thing I can do right now is send a contribution to MoveOn. I figure that if enough people make donations, no matter if it's $2, $5, $50, or $100, it will make a statement.

[acmavm]

6. Well said!

Thank you for linking that, Will.

Later this evening, I hope to put up an essay that has a bit of history that DUers might find interesting. I've been doing some research on some of the USSC cases on public protest, etc, that I have wanted to present here for a couple days.

[Raksha]

16. I'm looking forward to reading your essay.

Meanwhile I'm going to make a donation to MoveOn...right now! I was going to do it anyway, but thanks for the little bit of extra motivation.

[H2O Man]

23. .... working on it now ....

I am trying to edit as much out as possible, so that it will not be too long to be of interest on DU. It would be easy to make this a chapter in a book ....

[me b zola]

4. k&r

I have not a penny, or I would donate to Move-On. So I'll settle for kicking this thread.

5. Stand up and be counted here:

7. I've been sending my meager contributions solely to my candidate (who needs

them!) but this is a bigger issue. I'm sending $$$ to MoveOn today. I would love to see the headline "MoveOn.org receives $$$$$$$ in contributions supporting their right to run the Petraus ad."

[bdamomma]

8. definitely

we need to fight back.

[H2O Man]

9. Right.

Get Up, Stand Up!
lyrics by Peter Tosh, music by Bob Marley

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: dont give up the fight!

Preacherman, dont tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you dont know
What life is really worth.
Its not all that glitters is gold;
alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: dont give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: dont give up the fight!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. jah!

Get up, stand up! (jah, jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (oh-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (get up, stand up!)
Dont give up the fight! (life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (so we cant give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (lord, lord!)
Get up, stand up! (keep on struggling on!)
Dont give up the fight! (yeah!)

We sick an tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin n goin to heaven in-a jesus name, lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you cant fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do? ),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up!
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Dont give up the fight!
Get up, stand up!
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Dont give up the fight!
Get up, stand up!
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!

10. I just made a $10 donation to MoveOn

after reading Will's thread.

You think someone will notice a huge influx of donations to MoveOn?

[H2O Man]

11. I think so.

It is a good thing.

Thank you.

[mmonk]

12. It will indeed.

[lateo]

13. Who are the Dems that voted for this?

Anyone have a link?

[zippy890]

14. Yay! i just sent them $50

timely post

[spanone]

15. did so this morning.....

[burythehatchet]

17. As I said in an earlier discussion

if this was a strategic plan by MoveOn, they are brilliant tacticians and stretegists.

[Virginia Dare]

22. Agreed, anger is a great motivational tool....n/t

[bdamomma]

18. is this the official address??

MoveOn PAC at PO Box 9218; Berkley, CA 94709.

[H2O Man]

20. That is where

I have sent donations over the years. I am old and from another era, and have never had a credit card and will never use a "pay pal" type of thing. I do use checks, which allows me to participate in the margins of modern culture.

[annabanana]

25. lol. . . You're "old" huh?. . . . . .n/t

[H2O Man]

35. Yes.

Some days much more so than others.

[Me.]

[KoKo]

26. K&R....!

[Skidmore]

27. K&R, waterman.

We'll make the statement that the Senate refuses to make.

[H2O Man]

37. We must keep

our eye on the prize -- democracy. And it can't be found in congress, unless it is practiced in the cities and towns across the country.

We will make that statement. It needs to be made.

[in_cog_ni_to]

28. I'm on my way to donate! I have had enough...

:hi:

[H2O Man]

38. Thank you.

You are one of the DUers who I have admired the most, for a long time.

Thank you for all that you do on this forum. It is really appreciated!

[in_cog_ni_to]

54. H2O Man, you must know that admiration is mutual.

There's no one here I respect more.

[Catherine Vincent]

29. I was thinking about sending them a donation too.

:kick:

[H2O Man]

39. Thank you.

Our democracy is only going to survive because of people like you, who not only care, but are invested in making a difference.

Thank you!

[Catherine Vincent]

47. No. Thank you, H2O Man.

For everything. :)

[mod mom]

30. H20 Man you might want to go to their site and sign their petition:

http://pol.moveon.org/fightback/

I stopped donating to them after they failed to support action acknowledging the '04 fraudulent election, but today I donated.

[H2O Man]

40. I had signed it!

I do not agree with everything they have done .... but I don't agree with everything that I've done, either! (grin) And I am not going to sit by like a bump on a log, or just complain that "someone should do something," when I have the ability to do something myself.

Thank you for donating, and for providing the link for us.

[Bluerthanblue]

31. good point- very

good point!

[SalviaBlue]
