I am tired of sitting here reading these boards -- I want to help!
I live in Southern California and want to volunteer to help our country get out of this shit hole that shrub has put us in.

Does anyone know of organizations needing help? I am tired of "talking the talk"...I want to "walk the walk"!! (sorry for the cliche).

1. Contact your local Dems, Moveon, PFAW, ACLU, or any of a myriad of
other organizations.

12. Democarcy for America no doubt has chapters in CA
That's the organization that grew out of Howard Dean's campaign. Of the groups named, it's the most active at the local grassroots level.

4. Start having children, they could help pay off the deficit...
or you do the boring thing and start throwing small to medium democratic fundraising benefits and community awareness initiatives.

6. So, I want you to get up now. . .
I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,

"I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"



It would be a start, anyway...:shrug:

7. Be the media
Something I've been doing is putting out flyers everywhere I go, and "witnessing" to strangers about the Bush cabal, the lies that got us into Iraq, and now our frightening march toward war with Iran.

The Faux News watchers have no idea what is happening and most will give you a fair hearing of what you have to say.

I hand out flyers that I wrote up recently. A copy is posted at

http://www.topplebush.com/flyers/antiwar2.pdf

Topple Bush has other flyers on that site, one for every occasion.
