If Bush Wins--or Steals--This Election, Don't Just Sit There

If Bush gets reelected on November 2--if half of our fellow citizens lose their minds, or if he manages to steal the election again--storming Seattle's federal offices, prisons, and property will let him know that we're not going down without a fight this time.

I truly have a fear that if President Bush is reelected Tuesday, there will be violence. And the conservatives won't be the ones to start it.
