The Courage Campaign Has Issued A Challenge! End The Madness!

The Courage Campaign has decided enough is enough! The Tea Party must go-NOW! Go to their Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/CourageCampaign?sk=wall and sign up! The Tea Party has done one thing well: they have organized. Granted, they had an estimated $40 million dollar backing by the Koch brothers, but they used the Koch money well! If you are sick and tired of the Tea Party agenda, it is time to do the same! Angry? The Courage Campaign is just one of many organizations seeking to organize the angry. From the Courage Campaign:

 

"End the Madness!

Think that picture's over the top? Just wait till the Tea Party completely takes over -- privatized Medicare and Medicaid; the end of Social Security as we know it; and tax rates lower for hedge fund managers than for the people who clean their offices. It's time to End the Madness.

 

The Tea Party Republicans want to destroy government. We always lose when we negotiate with hostage-takers. No more.

 

I pledge to End the Madness:

1. Sign the pledge.

2. Get three friends to sign.

3. We'll share campaign plans with you and then

4. We'll build a targeted army that will end the Tea Party terror"

 

Not Angry Enough?
 

If you are angry, it is time to organize! Whining? Frustrated? Complaining? Threatening to not vote? That won't work, folks! The only thing that ever works in this country is organized protest!

It may be time to take to the streets! Anyone remember the '60's? 

 

Don't want to join the Courage Campaign? Join another group! Start your own! Take 5 of your friends and picket your Congressman's office! Others will join you! That is how a real grass roots movement starts! Not a Koch-funded grass roots 'Destroy Government' movement, but a real movement!

I am an 'older' progressive; a holdover from the hippie generation. I have raised 3 children, am a proud grandmother, and an outspoken political junkie. I have worked in the healthcare field for 30 years, both for insurance companies and for the (more...)
