As soon as we do our work to inform our friends and neighbors how Bush has wrecked the country, the economy and our standing in the world, they will be more than ready for "Terminator IV: Hasta La Vista Bush."

We -- you -- need to think about getting people to run for office who STAND for something. Time is running out. ********
