I may take some lumps from yawl, but I personaly think that it is sort of a waste fo time.
My main focus is gearing up in our community so that we can work to register more folks, and be ready when the 2002 election comes, and make sure that the crap that went on in Fl doesn't happen again. That is what we should be concerned with. These feel good measures really don't amount to much in my humble opinion.
I remeber posting something about the Million Family March, and someone posed the question to me, how many more marches are we going to have, and what results did we get from that? I had to take a good look at that question, and I kinda felt what she was saying.
Bush already knows that we didn't want his azz, wearing black isn't going to make much difference. He will try to set us back 10 years on our agenda. My boy works at Dept. of Justice in the Civil Rights division. Some of the programs that they were planning on targeting for this year, have been put on hold becuase of Ashcroft. Everyone at Justice is walking on eggshells right now.
The best message to send to Bush is in 2002 when he has a Democratic Senate and House to deal with.
