The inchoate feelings that so very many people feel today need to be acted upon by the people. It needs to be organized and it needs to find its voice. The world awaits. The future beckons. Who will answer the call?
Welcome!

I am experimenting with posting at Open Salon and encourage my visitors to check it out here.
I created Declare It Now, along with its accompanying pledge, 333. DIN was adopted by World Can't Wait and honored at the end of 2007 by The Nation magazine's John Nichols as the year's Most Valuable Crusade.
DIN and 333 depart from the traditional approach to political organizing and political protest. They provide a means for single individuals and millions of people to act politically in daily life - an endemic rather than episodic shift. Such a dramatic change is not only necessary; it is possible given today's specific alignment of forces. For a fuller description and analysis of DIN/333, see the core essays in the following places:

Doesn't sound too promising Professor.

Washington Post

"I do not stand alone," Dennis Kucinich said as he stood, alone, in front of a cluster of microphones yesterday evening.
The Ohio congressman, a Democratic presidential candidate, was holding a news conference outside the Capitol to announce that he had just filed articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney. But subsequent questioning quickly revealed that Kucinich had not yet persuaded any of his 434 colleagues to be a cosponsor, that he had not even discussed the matter with House Democratic leaders, and that he had not raised the subject with the Judiciary Committee.
Thanks for writing Haigen. I think on the contrary that it's quite promising. The fact that Kucinich hasn't yet done the things that Dana Milbak lists is more a reflection of the fact that he's the first sitting national politician to introduce impeachment articles and the fact that he's going up against the tide within the Congress and the jaundiced view of the mainstream media. Kucinich is, however, going with the tide of the majority of people in this country who want impeachment. His courage in introducing this stands in contrast to others who haven't the guts to stand up against tyranny, torture and war crimes. It's a start. And as I've written previously in this blog, Kucinich himself a couple months ago was disavowing impeachment. His supporters made it clear, however, that a lot of them wanted impeachment.
