I really have no idea.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling, though, that if enough people suddenly rise up and take some concrete physical action, like writing a letter or making a phone call, it might get the attention of our congressmen. I say physical, because I feel (and this is not based on any actual data) that a phone ringing off the hook, or a bag full of mail dumped on a desk, makes an impact that an e-mail can't.<BR/><BR/>To me, if the bastards succeed in making me do nothing, or stop trying, then they win. I don't think that's a good option.Patrick Gabridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497038051641691987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892344170791364530.post-40375063947372252962007-10-29T19:35:00.000-04:002007-10-29T19:35:00.000-04:00I won't get pissy but I'm not really sure what I c...I won't get pissy but I'm not really sure what I can do exactly. Teh current administration has made clear that dissent is not heard. I want bush and cheney up on war crime charges but I'm not sure how to do this. I give sometimes to moveon. I sign petitions. I blog angrily. I wrote an angry play that maybe will get done. But I can't help but feel that my emails to esenators and my name on a petition doesn't in any way affect our kinglike president and our terrified representatives.Adam Szymkowiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195622524268234675noreply@blogger.com
