Had Enough?
from Cenk Uygur
On Sunday, Wes Clark, Jr. and I will be going to the Federal Building in LA to start a simple protest. We just want to say "Enough!" (A TYT listener is selling "Enough" t-shirts at no profit.)
It's a simple message. Wes explains it in more detail on his Daily Kos diary here. It's nothing fancy, we just want to go out there and let people know that we have had enough of this runaway, lawless administration.
We're supposed to live in a democracy, unfortunately a lot of times the party you voted for won't represent your interests anyway. But we can't forget that people can make a difference. As Jesse Jackson said in a recent speech, "There is value in standing up."
So, we hope you stand up with us on Sunday between 12Noon and 1PM on the corner of Veteran and Wilshire (11000 Wilshire Blvd.).
More importantly, if you don't live in LA, please try to get a similar movement started in your local area. It just takes a couple of people to get together before things build. You can use this site and the forums here to organize on the local level. You can also use Daily Kos where people are already talking about how to get together in the comments section under Wes' diary.
If you do get together, take a picture and send it in to us and we'll feature it on the site. We want to do this every Sunday until we build momentum and perhaps a community. What's the worst that could happen, you meet a couple of people who are like-minded and share an hour on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Remember democracy? Remember what it felt like? Let's give it a try.
Do you believe?
Hope to see you there, either in person or through your pictures.
from Wes Clark Jr.
Enough of seeing the Constitution trashed? Enough of the corruption? Enough of the war? Enough of the gutless response of our elected Democratic representatives?
I don't think our reps read our e-mail or listen to our phone calls. Hell, they didn't even listen to the 2006 election in which we told them to stop the war. Scooter Libby is the last straw and I'm not going to take it anymore. I've had enough.
Cenk Uygur and I were talking this morning about what to do. We've decided it's time to tell America we've had enough. We'll be standing outside the Federal Building in West L.A. at the corner of Veteran and Wilshire for one hour this Sunday. If you'd like to join us, just wear a t-shirt or bring a sign that says you've had enough.
If you're not in L.A., just go to whatever the most common protest site is in your home city with a shirt or sign that says you've had enough from noon to one p.m. this Sunday. You don't have to march, chant, play drums, pass out pamphlets or build puppets (not that we're against those things). All you have to do is stand there with one word: enough.
Cenk and I don't care if we're the only two people there. We don't care because the next Sunday, each of us has pledged to bring two more people with us, and we'll ask them to make the same pledge. And we'll keep standing out there every single Sunday, doubling our numbers, from now until we've got so many people with us that we cannot be ignored.
So how about it? Have you had enough? Will you stand with us?
