I previously had posted on the fact that, unlike the Vietnam War, there are no organized demonstrations against the Iraqi War and what it has done to our country. (anybody remember $2.00 gas?)

We are impotent bloggers, who neither affect real policy change or allow our numbers to be counted, except every few years when there is an election.

You can easily see the amount of damage (S-Chip, FISA etc) that can happen before we vote the offending party out of office.

I think it is a time for real, non-violent, action to remind the Bush administration that we will begin a civil disobedience campaign the day he drops a bomb in Iran.

Sure, that's a day late but it will be a strong enough rallying point, for both real Republicans and Democrats to take action.

I want to emphasize that this is a non-violent protest.

I have even thought the first protest would be a sit-down in front of the Washington Post's columnist's parking lot at closing time.

Clownish? Maybe, but we will move upward and onward and make our feelings known.

The American people, by a huge percentage, do not want another war.

Let's send the message to Bush now.

I will send free "I Will Rise Up" buttons to anyone who wishes to wear them to start the conversation in their workplace.
