Prepare to be moved, as I was, by the power of concerned Americans, of all ages, waking up to the fact that they indeed have a voice ~ a voice that no longer can afford to be silent.
An America that has been rocked to sleep by the lies and deceptions of the Cheney/Bush administration ~ a nation so perfectly described by Cathy Sheehan's daughter in Carly's Poem ~

A Nation Rocked to sleep

Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son?
The torrential rains of a mother's weeping will never be done
They call him a hero, you should be glad that he's one, but
Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son?
Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries?
He must be brave because his boy died for another man's lies
The only grief he allows himself are long, deep sighs
Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries?
Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave?
They say that he died so that the flag will continue to wave
But I believe he died because they had oil to save
Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave?
Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep?
The leaders want to keep you numb so the pain won't be so deep
But if we the people let them continue ~ another mother will weep
Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep?
America is finally waking up and finding its voice ~ a united voice that represents an awesome force which will settle for nothing less than the truth .
Republicans beware ~ Cheney and Bush may not be listening but you better be listening to your empowered and angry constituents this August recess because your jobs are on the line in 2006.
The media is listening. Prodded by a relentless blogosphere ( including myself ) the media is taking note and responding with increased coverage of this growing force of an America which is finally waking up.
And yes, this is a force that will bring the arrogant house of Bush to its knees and, at that point in time, mark a distinct historic turning point in the history of this once great nation ~ a nation which just may be returning to its original populist roots and spiritual moorings.
