The People of DU need to organize.

[Evergreen Emerald]

We are angry and readily display the anger. It is time for us to band
together, to organize and make the change we seek.

For example: letter writing campaign; Virtual protests against (name your poison); boycotts; --these are off the top of my head.

We have talented, intelligent, motivated people. It is time to unite and make a real difference.

Who is with me?

1. What is your goal?

[MineralMan]

2. There are only about 2500 regular active DUers.

They are thinly scattered across the country. DU is not a source of serious local activism. How many DUers do you know from your own city or town? Think about it.

We are a small group.

[Hotler]

3. Good luck with that..... nt

[FM123]

4. I am with you.

I always think of Margaret Mead's quote at moments like these:

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

5. I'm with you in principle

but I assumed that was part of what DU was about. If we're not doing that then shame on us. I know of a couple DUers who have put out some strong appeals for action on issues. It takes someone to make specific appeals, people to read, people to agree, then people to act. So what do you have in mind?

6. Why not have organized Democratic rallies that are geared for show and pageantry

to get the democratic party message and supporters out?

[MineralMan]

8. Rallies? Really?

I don't think so. We're smart enough not to do that, I hope.

7. Didn't Will Rogers

say he wasn't a member of an organized party, he was a Democrat?
