I agree and that is what I have done.

We does belong. This situation is not the first event we hollered about. They couldn't have gotten this far w/o their previous neglect of our laws. I hate to admit I could have done more. I did was I was suppose to do - I voted (corrrectly), I got others to vote (correctly) - prayed more fervantly than ever before and what else could I do. But eventually we get off our knees and put faith into action.

You don't have to feel responsible - I do. I feel I am part of the "WE the people". I feel we can't leave responsibility on one person's shoulders. If that person could have done something or couldn't - it shouldn't matter at this point. It's what we can do.

Ask/fax George W to be our voice on TV. We the people tell him we feel that the constitutional rights of a woman has been denied in the most horrifc way via heresay via lack of due process and that we feel the overthrow of our constitution is happening before our eyes and we want intervention NOW?? Maybe we should pray and ponder some more about doing that?

Nothing wrong with praying or pondering. I also, regarding other matters, spend a lot of time e-mailing, writing, and calling politicians, as well as talking to other people. (Never underestimate the power of just speaking up in public situations. Multiplied by millions doing the same thing, it changes minds.) I also call radio and TV stations to complain about their biased reporting (that usually goes over with a thud). In other words, I don't just pray.

I wish I could remember more precisely the C.S. Lewis quote I'm thinking of, but it has something to do with Christians now and then needing to have the humility to accept that they can't do it all and right every wrong -- even the wrong they themselves have done. Not in this world. You have to have the humility to accept that some things are in God's hands.
