    Both/And...

    Good luck with that march, RMP!

    Perhaps we can all agree that we actually need both effective & inspiring narratives AND direct action?

    For how long now, have so many of us complained about the RWA-GOP control of the national debate and the M$M talking points? The media environment has been changing, but isn't the slowness of the change still a good enough reason to welcome Chris's style of rhetoric? Not to mention that it is in such stark contrast to the simple, declarative sentences favored by the other team... And doesn't he ask for exactly the kind of direct action we would really like to see?

    I suspect that there are many others here doing things like calling/faxing, etc., as ondelette mentioned, or marching as RMP will be this weekend, but for whatever reasons, prefer not to mention them here. Privacy, perhaps, and who would blame anyone for trying to maintain what precious little bit they have left.
