[Peace-discuss] Don't Despair!

[Matt Reichel]

Congratulations on your successful grassroots campaign, Tom!

One more article worth reading is here:

Sometimes I feel that Frank says what I want to say with more elegance. 
Certainly the case in this instance.

I've spent several months now being scolded,  forced out of my job at a 
reformist peace organization, and belittled by a wide range of "activists" 
who have asked me to shut my conscience up and support the morally bankrupt 
candidacy of John Kerry. "Help give him a gift he doesn't deserve."

We now have a genuine moment for movement building because Nero has been 
re-elected, and the world detests the American empire more than ever. As the 
American Left, let us enter community with dissenters of the world.

I am so glad that this damn election and the disastrous Anybody But Bush 
debacle is finallly over.
