So how do we make a difference? Well, we have already started. We took control of Congress away from Bush's Rubber Stamp Republicans. Now:
• "It's time for Congress to fulfill the promise of the November elections to stop the war in Iraq, and the only assurance we have that they will actually do that is if we CONTINUE to call and write them, again and again, until they finally realize we in fact expect them to do it. ...Call your own members of Congress right now, 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803" --The Peace Team Action Page
• "Democratic members of Congress may tell you, 'this is the best we can do.' No, this is not the best they can do! The voters of this country didn't elect a new Congress to give us excuses; we elected them to use their power to end this war -- to stop the flow of money for war and to set a specific, short-term timeframe for bringing the troops home." --United For Peace and Justice Action Alerts, 3/22/07
According to journalist and commentator Bill Moyers, "The only answer to organized money is organized people," so we need to be organized. So, join a group. Get active. Get informed and stay informed. Speak up and make a difference. Instead of 50,000 protestors marching in Washington--let's make 50 million calls to Congress, demanding an end to Mr. Bush's senseless war. It is up to us to make a difference.
• "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation." --Robert F. Kennedy:
