You came, you rallied, you restored sanity -- almost. There’s still some crazy out there, and that’s why grassroots volunteers with Organizing for America
are stepping it up to get voters to the polls in the elections just three days from now.
Here’s a quick rundown on what you can do right now to join in and restore sanity, wherever you live:
Don’t leave DC yet -- walk a few blocks from the mall to call voters. Just minutes from the National Mall, we’re holding a massive phone bank to restore sanity at the Democratic National Committee. Starting at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, we’ll be calling voters in key districts. It’s easy, it’s fun, and makes a big difference in the races that will be decided by razor thin margins.
Find a get-out-the-vote event in your state. They’re happening everywhere this weekend and through Election Day -- join with supporters where you live and knock on doors and call voters.
Make calls from home using our easy call tool. Calling voters from home or anywhere else has never been easier. Call.BarackObama.com connects you with voters in your area and gives you guidance on what to say.
Get on the bus. We’ve got buses leaving DC for Ohio and Virginia -- hop on. Both states have close races, with strong Democrats who could use our help during the closing stretch. We’re running buses of volunteers to each state, and others, with free housing included.
So take that energy from today's rally, and put it to good use helping Democrats restore sanity. It's all hands on deck from here ’til polls close on Tuesday.
Medea Benjamin: Dear Jon, Sane People Protest Crazy Wars
The reality,,, is the realization that folks all over the world are watching,,, and hoping that we,, as a nation begin to see the world for what it is,,, a struggle against the demands of Big business being accomodated without raising poverty levels,,, the agendas created by oil barons, and the worlds oligarchs and some kind of sanity concerning the rights of populations all over the world...
We are the most powerful nation on earth,,, and it's time we ended the paranoia and fear that has been fed to every generation by a media driven by the industries that profit from it,,,,
I believe there's good in every group,,, and I'll even include Bankers and the corporate elite in that..
The real insanity in the richest, most powerful nation on earth is in it's willingness to accept poverty, homelessness, and fear as just problems that can be solved by ignoring them...
Whoever contols the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all Industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or the other, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.

They used to call them "Banana Republics".
If following the elections the halls of power become infested by a parade of racists, witches and fascists, it’s what the people deserve. It doesn’t matter if the results are due to voter intimidation and the corporate takeover of the American political system, because that too is ultimately the responsibility of the people. YOU let it happen. You let your corrupt politicians and the corrupt system continually fester, until it finally brought us here.
People get the government they deserve and to expect one man – the President – to bring about ‘change you can believe in,’ and in less than two years is quite frankly infantile. Grow up.
During that time a minority of ill informed, right wing tantrum troops financed by shadowy billionaires have dragged America into the gutter. The question is, what have the majority of decent US citizens done during the same period? I really want to know.
Just remember, if you can’t even be bothered to vote against that village idiot convention also known as the Tea Party, then you’re going to get the government you deserve.
Why did you lump witches in with racists & fascists, because of ODonnell? If Chrissy had a picnic on a satanic alter, the people there would be identified as "Satanists." A picnic in an oak grove, or at midnight under a full moon would be witches. Poor woman, she wasn't even curious enough to find out which non-traditional religion she was "dabbling" in.
Other than that, your remarks are right on target.
I feel popular.
and please go VOTE!!!!

I'm sorry you don't have the white Republican president you wanted, but them's the breaks.
And you'll rip Boehner to shreds if he becomes speaker. This is all you know.
If you can name one solution, one idea that is not a platitude or bumper sticker slogan, from the Tpublicans I will delete my HP account.
btw: I also don't think they remove people's names and numbers when people request their names be taken off the list.
