WHERE IS THE FIRE?!
Where is the fire in your belly? It is time for progressive minds to band together and demand answers and change! Just look at what the Bush adminstration has done to our great nation with false propoganda to stimulate fear! This complex has plauged our nation and now it is time for the people to take back our government!
My style is different from Eddie’s, but being truly educated on the realities can really incite anger. I believe in an educated exchange of ideas, but we must do so with a certain degree of fortitude and ferventness. It is time to act.
If you want to talk about delivery of our message then help each other do so, but we are all fighting the same fight. Let’s do so together as Americans

44.96%
In 2005, Virginia only had 44.96% of registered voters turnout...but this was 1.98 million people. Virginia currently has a population of 7.6 million. 75.4% of those are over 18, or about 5.73 million (but not all can vote e.g. aliens, felons..)
If 5 million citizens in Virginia can actually vote, that means that over 3 million did not vote. Why did they not vote? I know politics-as-usual tells us that they will not vote no matter what we do, but I believe that is because non-voters feel disenfranchised with the good ole boys network.
You have to speak about issues that affect all Americans, not just voter profiles. Even if you get 10% of non-voters to come out, that is 300,000 votes. Most non-voters would vote Democrat, no doubt.
Let's channel that energy.
