Seein' Red

It's absolutely frightening to see this country's true colors: red. I would've never believed that so many people were so scared and small minded. What's wrong with this country and it's people?! This land is not my land and it was definitely not made for you or me. I now have to find a hardcore "I hate Bush and what he stands for" t-shirt to wear and represent for all of us who felt that he should never have been elected again. I'm not taking these election results lightly and forgetting them. Society will know my wrath!

Take a look at all that red! : http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/

These number breakdowns sure are interesting. An overwhelming number of people of color voted for Kerry!? You don't say! Note the sarcasm. :

This article cleary defines the difference between the Democrats and Republicans for people of color:

Call to Action for November 3rd and Beyond


WE DECLARE VICTORY



They might have conceded - but we haven't conceded our right to have our votes count.


Today we celebrate victory. Young voters in 2004 turned out at dramatically higher numbers than 2000 (+9.3% from 2000).


Hundreds of local groups around the country turned out an unprecedented base of voters.


You'll see more local updates later- where we document our margins of victory and incredible, inspiring stories from around the country. In the meantime, check out Election Shout! - our blog.


So what to do now?


• Celebrate our work - there were lots of local victories and youth were the top anti-bush vote

• Strengthen our movement, LOVE EACH OTHER, don’t let them break our spirit.


• Document your stories - we are learning from them and have built an amazing base to work from for next time.

• All eyes on Ohio!!! – organize local actions in support and go to Columbus for today's convergence if you can

• Wherever you live, continue with post-election plans in your local community

• Demand systematic investigation of voting irregularities in local places nationwide - e.g. provisional balloting issues, absentee ballot issues, discrepancies with exit polling data, voting machine problems, polling places moved

• Expose incidents of voter suppression - send reports to us at info@ttww.org

• Wear BLACK or a BLACK ARMBAND this week

• The League hereby declares November 4th, 2004 a National Day of Love and Sustainability. Take care of yourselves and each other. We're in this for life.


A Statement From Morrissey: (This was before the election obviously)

October 27, 2004
With all my heart I urge people to vote against George Bush. Jon Stewart would be ideal, but John Kerry is the logical and sane move. It does not need to be said yet again, but Bush has single-handedly turned the United States into the most neurotic and terror-obsessed country on the planet. For non-Americans, the United States is suddenly not a very nice place to visit because US immigration officers – under the rules of Bush – now conduct themselves with all the charm and unanswerable indignation of Hitler’s SS.
Please bring sanity and intelligence back to the United States.
Don’t forget to vote.
Vote for John Kerry and get rid of George Bush!
