Do Something!
February 13, 2003
With a war coming up and rumos of terrorist threats, you need to get out and do something. Anything. Now is the time when we can tell our government that we're not happy. I know, you're one person, you can't do much. I know, it's one rally, it won't prove much. It's easy to sit idly by.
On Saturday the 15th, there will be anti-war rallies throughout the world. There is a huge one in NYC at 49th and 1st. If you can't make it to a rally, then write a congressman or the President or even your local alderman. As I sit in midtown Manhattan I can't help but feel highly connected to everything that is going on.
If you don't have time to write or go to a rally or whatever, then at least give this whole thing some serious thought. At work/school/home, take out 10 minutes and read some opinion articles or just close your eyes and figure out where you stand. Be educated.
Saturday I'll be at the rally with my camera in tow. I'll be posting all of the pictures on this site for you to see.

Comment #1:
About writing your congressman: This is a good thing. Most elected officials estimate that there are 100 to 300 other constituents (depending where you live) that hold the same views represented in a letter from one constituent, so if you and five friends write a letter, it can mean the voice of 600 to 1800 people. And while mainstream media may not cover a voice of resistance flowing through the post to Washington, it's happening and it really counts.
