oooh and can yah spare me a dime, 'cos I sure do think I am gonna need it!  After all -- what do we have to look forward to but more rising costs?

  You must know that certain organizations tried to reach their organizers nationally.  They wanted to know what to do if the elections were lost ... I said to one organizer:  CALL our representatives and make sure that they do their job, make sure that they don't become jellies and back down. We should put pressure on the people who need to do their jobs and not let them be stupid.  He did not care for my answer - and did not call me back.  I guess that I wasn't saying the right things - not demonstration type enough.  On the morning of the elections, I got up and called everyone and anyone - "don't let kerry concede!"  By afternoon he conceded.

It was not only Kerry's failing, unfortunately - it was ours.
