I believe there are many americans who don’t believe that impeachment can be accomplished, especially after the democratic win that proved almost fruitless.

On top of that, the movement is seen as a fringe. I would guess only 10% of supporters would actually march. We need the energy to go into pins, bumper stickers, wristbands and the like.

We follow trends. If we see more people, especially friends and colleagues showing their support, we are likely to ask more. Marchers and protesters are preaching to the choir and cause us to appear as a fringe movement. That is why i started http://www.inapeach.com. A different subtle way to get friends and colleagues to ask questions. Strangers won’t.

Bush is on the verge of walking away unscathed. Don’t let him.

I feel you on the observing from afar / cooties angle, and definitely definitely definitely the glassware angle.

I have no patience or time or savvy to wade through all the press and all the wesites and blogs and blahdeblah, so when my friend M sent me this link: http://www.selectsmart.com/president/2008.html?

It made my day. Just answer a simple survey, and it tells you which candidates are least likely to make you want to hurl glasses.

I hear ya, sista. I get my political opinions from friends of friends and call it a day. My Economist-reading boyfriend can hang out with yours when I move to SF, and we can go gorge ourselves on Vogue and Glamour on the beach.

What’s most impressive to me is that you actually *knew* about something like this happening BEFORE it happened and actually *went* to take part in it BEFORE it was over.

I usually find out about these things AFTER they’ve happened, and then I always wonder how people knew to go there.

GAH. Rambling. Do I even make sense anymore? I’m thinking not.

Nobody told me that napping in the sun and dog licks counted for political activism. Count me in!

I learned to enjoy the annual State of the Union speech AND preserve glassware, by filling and refilling the glass with a martini or margarita until the speech is over or i fall asleep, whichever is first.

a) I yell at the radio when I hear Bush’s voice. Luckily, I only listen when I drive, so glassware can’t get thrown. Probably I’d do it in my own home.
b) my husband is the same way – all Noam Chomsky and intelligent stuff, and I heart Marie Claire and Cookie. And chick lit. For shame, self.
c) I kind of have decided that any little bit of involvement you have is awesome. For a while I was trying really hard to know about politics and the news(so I could sound smart), but it made me depressed. The world sort of sucks. So now I listen to NPR most days and read some major headlines once in a while, and I sign a lot of petitions online and if I get really pissed I write letters to the editor. But beyond that, I sort of hide my head in the sand. Oh, and I vote, even in the tiny local elections, because it makes me feel like I’m doing my part. I wish I could be part of the “I” though, that looks fun.
