Dear Friend,
Please do something after reading this email. Do what you can, but please do something.
A few days ago Howard Dean did something we haven't seen in our country in decades.
He called on all of the American people to participate again in our common future.
Governor Dean spoke out loud and clear against the crisis of community our current President has created at home, and against the Bush administration's abandonment of the heritage of America as the Idealistic Moral force in the world.
And then he said this:
"The history of our nation is clear: At every turn where there has been an imbalance of power, the truth questioned, or our beliefs and values distorted, the change required to restore our nation has always come from the bottom up from our people.
You have the power to reclaim our nation's destiny."
Each of us acting alone -- which is what the Bush people think America should be -- leaves us powerless to change Washington or the direction of our nation.
But if Americans -- all of us -- do something, and do it together, we really do have the power to change forever the way politics is conducted in our country and make a profound impact on our nation's future.
Over 121,231 of us have signed up to support Howard Dean's campaign totake back our country.
Think about that, 121,231 Americans.
If each of us contributed $100 today it would mean over $12 million dollars in contributions to Howard Dean's campaign in one day and we would not only shock the press and pundits we would take a giant leap towards taking back our country.
And so I am asking you to join me today in giving what you can -- $100 if you can, but do something, contribute whatever you can afford to contribute but please contribute today.
http://www.deanforamerica.com/moveonfordean
Please do not delete this email before taking a common action with the other 121,230 of us who are committed with you to returning government to the people and helping Howard Dean become our next President.
Martin Luther King Jr. said "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
What is happening to our country today matters-- Howard Dean is not silent, on the contrary. In one day we can provide the resources needed to make sure his voice and ours is heard loud and clear -- "we want our country back."
Please forward this email on to someone else, to help me spread this message.
I am a supporter of Howard Dean and all that I ask is that today we all do something together to move his candidacy and the cause of America forward.
Thank you,
Martin Sheen

stand and show your colors
let's all go to war.....
the Lord will surely help us
i've heard it all before.
i've heard it all
a hundred times
i've heard it all before...
they've always got a holy cause
that's worth a dying for.
someone writes a slogan
raises up a flag
someone finds an enemy blame.
to leave the cities and the farms
and lead the country's call to arms...
and always the ending is the same
the same
the same.
the fields have turned to ashes.
the wheat has turned to straw.
and someone asks the question
"what was the dying for?"
the living can't remember
the dead no longer care
but next time this won't happen
upon my soul i swear.
i've heard it all
a hundred times
don't tell me it's different now
i've heard it all
i've heard it all
i've heard it all BEFORE.
- John Cullum in Shenandoah

This is to be sung to the tune of: "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands."
"George's Song" (Author unknown)
If we cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets hurt your Mama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are Saudi
And the bank takes back your Audi
And the TV shows are bawdy,
Bomb Iraq.
If the corporate scandals growin', bomb Iraq.
And your ties to them are showin', bomb Iraq.
If the smoking gun ain't smokin'
We don't care, and we're not jokin'.
That Saddam will soon be croakin',
Bomb Iraq.
Even if we have no allies, bomb Iraq.
From the sand dunes to the valleys, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections;
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.
While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq.
Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq.
If the ozone hole is growing,
Some things we prefer not knowing.
(Though our ignorance is showing),
Bomb Iraq.
So here's one for dear old daddy, bomb Iraq,
From his favorite little laddy, bomb Iraq.
Saying no would look like treason.
It's the Hussein hunting season.
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

........Allowing the President to invade a neighboring nation whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion...and you allow him to make war at his pleasure. If today he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him ? You may say to him, "I see no probability of the British invading us," but he would say to you, "Be silent: I see it if you don't." -- Abraham Lincoln
