Reply #18: It's true - I guess I don't fit the "profile" of a Dem protester [View All]

The hubby and I seem more like yuppies than Liberals - our annual income is too high, we live in suburbia (in Broomfield), we're not vegetarians (just kidding). I, too, had just been going along with my own life, somewhat unaware. I had a moment of clarity in Nov of 2000 when the Presidency was stolen from my dear President Gore - but I managed to get back into my own little life (stick my head back in the sand).

As you say -- not any more though. I am ashamed of how little I knew before I started lurking on DU and dKos about two months before the Selection.

I agree with your last statement wholeheartedly - I wish I knew what to do next. I understand the concept that WE are the media, etc. - but wouldn't it be great to have REAL leadership here! "Show up here at 12 noon, call this number today, write to this address".

We're going to have to do that ourselves.
