While walking along the streets of Seattle during the WTO protests, I
overheard two satin-jacketed members of the Steamfitters Union talking
as they walked to one of the many rallies within the protest. "Thomas
Jefferson says to err on the side of the revolution," one was telling
the other. The streets of Seattle were alive with tens of thousands
from all over the world who understand what the corporations are up
to. In nearly every block of Seattle there was at least one
organization that was Nader inspired. Nader also held recaps of the
day's activities for the press and others at the end of each day of
the protests. There are people who talk and analyze, and then there
are those who do. Nader does. And union members were out in force in
their colors. The press ignored both. But I reckon that anyone who was
there knows there's a revolution going on, whether it's televised or
not.
Get Nader into the debates. Elect Cindy Sheehan. These are my present
goals.
