THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES HOW ROCKWALL RESIDENTS ARE HANDLING THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY
Fellow Rockwall Activists,
DID YOU KNOW THAT IT IS LEGAL TO BE ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND REGISTER VOTERS AND GIVE OUT INFORMATION ABOUT POLITICS EVEN IN ROCKWALL, TX: the smallest and one of the richest counties in Texas?
And DID YOU KNOW THAT THE RIGHT WING CONTROL MACHINE WILL TRY TO STOP YOU?
AND DID YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE FIGHTING THAT RIGHT WING ANYWAY?
WELL, THE BOTTOM LINE IS: THERE ARE SOME OF US THAT ARE NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP ON DEMOCRACY IN ROCKWALL AND HAVE BEEN ON THE GROUND FOR MONTHS? BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF ONE OF THE STRATEGIES WE HAVE EMPLOYED SO FAR:
1) WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE “HARBOR” EVENTS ON Thursday EVENINGS SINCE JUNE TO MAKE OUR PRESENCE KNOWN. AT FIRST, VERY SHY AND SCARED, WE JUST WORE OUR OBAMA “STUFF” AND HAD CONVERSATIONS W/ PEOPLE ATTENDING THE CONCERT(INSERT PHOTOS OF SYNDEY, KRISTI/TERRI, HAROLD AND HAROLD)
2) AND THIS WEEK WE GOT BOLDER: (INSERT PHOTO OF KRISTI AND TABLE)
On Thursday 8/7/08, we set up a table full of democratic brochures, democratic candy, bottled water, Obama stickers, window signs, and Rockwall DEMOCRATIC PARTY volunteer forms. It was a huge success! Many, many Rockwall residents visited our table.
BUT YOU GUESSED IT: AFTER LESS THAN ONE HOUR ON THE GROUND, A MEMBER OF THE LEADER OF THE the Rockwall RIGHT WING (? GESTAPO, PARKS DEPARTMENT, ? WHO KNOWS SINCE SHE REFUSED TO SHOW ID. OTHER THAN HER UPPER CLASS UNIFORM OF KHAKIS AND POLO SHIRT AND HAIR SPRAYED HAIR came and tried to stop us dead in our tracks. SAYING, “ I HAVE COME TO TELL YOU GUYS THAT YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO PACK UP YOUR THINGS AND LEAVE, B/C THIS JUST ISN’T ALLOWED HERE.”
TO WHICH WE SAID, “ BUT IT IS LEGAL FOR US TO BE ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND REGISTER VOTERS AND GIVE OUT INFORMATION ABOUT POLITICS EVEN IN ROCKWALL, TX:” THEN SHE SAID , “WELL YOU CAN REGISTER VOTERS, BUT ‘ALL THIS OTHER STUFF’ HAS TO GO! SHE WAS REFERENCING OUR DEMOCRATIC INFO……
SO, AFTER MORE EXPLANATION OF “It is within OUR rights of freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, and for that matter freedom from political tyranny AND STRESSING THAT WE WOULD RESIST HER EFFORTS to impede OUR freedoms and that IF THAT was the kind of country that she lived in, then she would have to send the policed to remove US.
The reaction of the crowd now assembled was shock and awe: “ Not in our country they seemed to say… In “whose” country I seemed to be asking as I was being asked to leave the “public” park. Let me say that by this time, there were 4-7 people around the table taking Obama window signs, stickers and things. These bystanders were very encouraging and said things like, “I can’t believe they are making you leave.
. ” Yes, my fellow Democrats. And freedom fighters and defenders of the constitution, Not only is this the state of our country, but this is the state our very own Rockwall County!
I call to you all now to fight back! TAKE A STAND , SHOW UP AND BE COUNTED OR AT LEAST SUPPORT THOSE OF US ON THE “FRONT LINE”
