A simple request to EVERY DUer

[understandinglife]

MNA requests that you consider sending a PM or email to the DU administrators requesting that they sponsor www.missionnotaccomplished.us on the homepage of DU.

As each day passes, what we know is that we know very, very little about the atrocities perpetrated by Bu$h and his theocratic neoconster buddies.

We know very little about how many children have been vaporized by our merciless shock'um and awe'um arsenal.

We know very little about how many are imprisoned without due process and tortured.

We know very little about the suffering of our dear fellow citizens as they are shredded by car bombs and then shipped home under cover of darkness, either to be buried with no recognition or shunted to over-burdened care givers.

Isn't it time for some reflection?

Isn't it time for some consideration of how we stop the crimes?

Isn't it time for remembering what it was like to be an American?

Everyone "owns" www.missionnotaccomplished.us and all that will be accomplished as we reflect, repair and begin to rebuild America.

Peace.

Thank you.

1. Great Idea. Our own "Memorial Day"

Although I don't think a lot of people will be able to take off of work, I can resolve to spend the day remembering the victims of the BFEE as well as resolve not to buy anything at all.

5. Yes, and thank you. MNA is about creative responses...

...no 'one size fits all' -- each citizen does what they can, reflects on what more they will do.

MNA is a process.

May 2nd 2005 is a moment in that process.

The process and the network only continue to expand after May 2nd 2005.

Peace.

I think it's a good idea. Remembering all those in history who have been hurt by the Bush crime family.

8. This is SUCH a great and basic and simple idea...

I will indeed pass it on...
I've seen it posted around recently, and no one ever mentions that the original idea for this was from a sweet lady on Will Pitt's truthout blog, under a thread called The Darkness Drops Again...
Credit where credit's due. Thanx again, Judy!
Everyone pass it on. Let's do it!

13. I'm all for it

simple and clear
when someday we all begin to understand what has gone down, this will become even clearer. And when people in the US military begin sharing their stories in the years to come, it will become all too clear.
A great shame will fall on the land.

17. I won't give them ownership of the constitution or the scripture.

They may want to distort the meanings of both and they may want to promote their hatred and evil with both, but I will call them on their lies and their distortions and I will find pride and comfort in both.

I like your emphasis on creativity in expression and reflection, as well.

24. "And only renewed, passionate dissent by the American people can end it."

What I Didn't See in Iraq
by Jim McGovern

Jim McGovern is the Representative of the Third Congressional District of Massachusetts.

<snip>

What worries me almost as much as our misguided policy in Iraq is that so many of my colleagues and so many citizens have become resigned to the fact that the war will go on. Congress is not being inundated with letters and phone calls and faxes and e-mails and street protests demanding an end to our presence in Iraq. President Bush's re-election seems to have taken much of the energy out of the antiwar movement. My recent visit to Iraq only strengthened my belief that this war is wrong. And only renewed, passionate dissent by the American people can end it.

29. This is a good thing - have you designed something that could be put

on the DU home page - an eyecatching, modest-sized banner? That would be more likely to get approval than just asking for the event to be featured there, I would think.

Recommended. I'll wait to post in ATA until hear whether there is a banner already designed, or if you have one planned. Specific requests are more likely to be successful, in my experience.

[understandinglife]

30. Yes. I think the item posted on the ...

....www.missionnotaccomplished.us site is already recognized as symbolic of MNA and it is being used by others. It has already been posted by dzika here at DU in the following thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3476986

We anticipate using the 'knotted rope' and altering the date on the panel for future MNA days.

Thank you.

God & Goddess grant me:
The power of water, to accept with ease & grace what I cannot change
The power of fire, for the energy & courage to change the things I can.
The power of Air, for the ability to know the difference.
And the power of Earth, for the strength to continue my path.
