When Bush is cornered and desperate, he first firms up his core supporters: the Christian Fascists. Or he makes a desperate gamble to change the equation. Or both. Daniel Ellsberg recently warned against another 9/11 type incident, after which Bush would make "the Patriot Act look like the Bill of Rights."
The November 2 Call points out that, "People who steal elections and believe they’re on a ‘mission from God’ will not go without a fight." Don’t think we can stop fascism on the cheap, or that we can "play for time"--the road to death camps is littered with those sorts of illusions. Get active and mobilize for November 2 like the future depended on it.
Because it does.
