Care2 readers aren't passive. They're activists. They're citizens of the online world and in their communities.
That's why I'm writing this article on Care2 - to urge American Care2 users to show up for the Inauguration on January 20, 2009, and to take part in a pro-Constitution political demonstration there.
You follow the news. You know what's happened to the Constitution under George W. Bush. It's been reduced to shreds. With torture, government surveillance of law-abiding American citizens, arbitrary imprisonment without habeas corpus, mixing of church and state, and illegal restraint on freedom of speech, the USA has lost a lot of its freedom over the past 8 years.
Electing Barack Obama is an important step to undoing the damage to the Constitution, but it's not enough. Now that Barack Obama is taking power, we citizens need to show Barack Obama that we're still paying attention. We need to send a clear message that restoring our constitutional rights is a top priority for 2009.
Come to Washington D.C. on January 20th. There, on the Inaugural Parade route on the southwest corner of 9th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, right next to the Department of Justice, starting at high noon, there will be a peaceful, positive political demonstration with a simple message: President Obama, keep the promise you made with your Oath of Office. Uphold the Constitution.
There's a great new
idea for the Obama
campaign that my friend
Peregrin has written
about, but it's been
almost totally neglected
by the news media. You
