I can't take credit for this one. It was suggested to me electronically by a patriotic American who had a fantastic idea that we should set aside a day and a precise time when we "vent" our outrage with these Bush/fascist/elite pigs with noise, noise, and more noise.
It would be a STATEMENT, hopefully orchestrated all over the country that at, say 12:00 noon (adjusting for time zones) we give them hell with all the noise making we can come up with. Car horns, perhaps, most of all, but ANYTHING that would make an obnoxious noise would be welcome.
The fascist pigs, the press (what's left of it), and even the WORLD would almost certainly take note that this patriotic expression is just one way Americans are showing their solidarity, unity, and rage.
Would it magically change anything politically? Who knows, but it would certainly be a heads up to our spineless Democratic Congress (who's got the barf bag?) that liberals, progressive, moderates, and independents are bloody well out here in the millions.
Indeed, the "good" it would do would probably be more as a warning to the Republican Democrats (e.g., Hillary Clinton -- you know, the one with "corporate spy" stamped on her forehead) than it would effect the Bush neo-Nazis.
Anyway, at this stage, let's just say this is a probe with the hope the many, many of you will respond with suggestions as to the logistics and timing such a "patriotic event vent".
It's seems like a terrific idea to me and maybe many of you think likewise and if so we need to get something set and then NETWORK LIKE CRAZY -- including broadcasting the exact timing the two minutes (more, less?) in as many medias as we can muster.
Much of its appeal is that it's a very simple and yet emphatic way to make a statement IN SPITE OF THE JUDAS MEDIA.
So, in the spirit of a town hall meeting, what do you folks think? Can we make this fly? The timing so close to the election should also be factored into this as everyone would know this would be a progressive/liberal call to political arms.
And at this stage, ANYTHING which could help save our country and planet from these evil elite vampires we dare not pass up.
Waiting for your response and suggestions, and hoping this will stir up cross currents of dialog that are totally not limited to this piece.
