Let's see. You say you're saddened. That the Republic is doomed and that there's nothing you can do about it.

I refuse to believe it's that bad.

DON'T opt out of the process. The sheeple that have paid no attention to any of this for their own selfish reasons are the problem. DON'T join them.

Stay involved.

Yes, we have to draw the line somewhere. I agree that the ones set down two hundred plus years ago are the best ones in the history of man. But in this particular conflict, the battlefield is moving to the courtroom. We've got some damn good warriors on our side and I believe we'll prevail.

It looks like President Bush drew the line at some terrorists who destroyed some buildings and killed 3000 innocent lives. That, too, is a battle we must win. The terrorists attack us for the prosperity and power we have gained. Those documents you and I cherish have had a hell of alot to do with why this nation has gained so much.

We can't all join the military to root out terrorists. We can't all become lawyers and duke it out in the courtroom. But we can make a difference in other ways. Even if its just changing someone's mind and getting them to vote.

OK, maybe I'm naive. But I'm not giving up.

Exactly. I can't recall who said it, but

"There is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come."

The only way I know to do things is get the information out there, and try to win people over one at a time.

I see this whole CRF stunt as "an end-run around Enron"-- they couldn't get any traction with Enron, so this was a fallback to "what they could win." And already they are saying it isn't enough- they'll have to go back and "revisit the issue." Like I mentioned, it is only the beginning of a vast silencing of Americans.

We have to resist, and we have to keep fighting.
