This is Not Over!
Nov. 19th, 2004 10:36 pmFair warning to those who were not disappointed, angry, upset or hurt by the results of the election. You may want to look away.
For the other seven readers of this LJ, I want to say...it's time to wipe your tears, drag yourselves up by your bootstraps, get angry and get busy. Get involved. Write letters--REAL letters (that's right SNAIL mail--it means more than email to the suits in Washington), call your representatives and tell them your opinion about things.
There's a new website that has been formed by a bunch of people I like and respect a whole lot, and who are also disappointed, angry, upset and hurt by the election results. Oh, and did I mention that these folks are also awesome writers, too? They are the ones who bring you:
Tomato Nation
Television Without Pity
Frolic and Detour (check out the archives, funny stuff)
They have a new site with which they are encouraging people to get busy! It's called:
This Is Not Over
Run, don't walk over to their site. Lots of cool stuff on there now.
Here's their ( Mission Statement )
Check the rest of it out. I really like how these people think. And I'm going to get busy myself. It's more important than ever, especially for those of us unfortunate "blues" who happen to live in a "red" state.
