From Indybay 6/25/08 - hat tip to Nancy Pelosi's Table:
Cynthia McKinney Remarks in support of Cindy Sheehan's 4th Amendment Burial March
June 24, 2008
Last week, Nancy Pelosi helped deal a double blow to Democratic Party grassroots supporters and to the U.S. Constitution itself. On Thursday, June 19, George Bush got another $162 billion from the Congress for war and occupation. On Friday, June 20, Nancy helped Bush give immunity to telecommunications companies that helped him spy on us!
Fannie Lou Hamer of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party remarked that she was sick and tired of being sick and tired. And she did something about it by standing up at the Democratic Party Convention that routinely had accepted all-white, non-representative state delegations from the South.
Well, I'm sick and tired and outraged, too. And I'm doing something about it.
Cindy Sheehan is my choice for Congress.
Nancy thinks that by November you will have forgotten about all of this.
Don't forget! Remember--in November!
Vote Cindy! Vote Cynthia!
Nancy Pelosi's Table is a wonderful example of using blogs to challenge political corruption and betrayal. I encourage you to check it out.
Nancy Pelosi and the DLC need to remember the reason we sent them to Congress, and it wasn't to roll over and give the Bush regime everything they wanted. I think we need a real opposition party that has the principles we expect and don't get from the Democraps. Thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out.
lew: Yeah, having a second political party would be a nice change.
