Protest in DC 9/3/07

I was going to wait until Iraq Moratorium Day, but this is too important.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

So since I can't do anything until I'm out of the Navy, and since Congress won't be there in August anyway (what in Hell did they do to deserve a month-long vacation?) I'm going to road-trip to DC over the first weekend in September. On Monday, September 3, 2007, I will be somewhere in the vicinity of the Capitol (as close as I can get - which isn't very close anymore what with all the barriers) sitting on the Mall, wearing a black hoodie (props to Eminem) and an orange ribbon (Orange Revolution for impeachment) and playing protest music on my laptop.

And I'm going to stay there, every day, until we get

A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs

This is an open invitation. Join me any time between 9/3/07 and 9/21/07. Or if you can't afford to make the trip, protest in your own city. But please get out there. This revolution isn't going to happen on the blogs. We're screaming and they're ignoring us as well as their duty to the Constitution.

All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush, Fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home

I don't know how to organize anything big. I've never even tried. I don't think it should be organized, anyway - it needs to come from our own, very personal anger. Each of us, individually, needs to have "enough." But if you've had enough, and you're as angry as you all sound here, please join me.
