We are the leaders....
I say the finger points to us – those of us who are against war, who are informed, who know what is happening every moment in our name. Those of us who have not stopped our daily lives as usual and stepped up to the plate to end war.
I hear the wan search for a leader or leaders – where is our MLK, our Joan of Arc (am I reaching or what) – I could say our Barbara Jordan, Rose Byrd, Shirley Chisolm, Ann Richards – but I get blank stares.
Where are our leaders? WE are our leaders. We cannot wait another minute for someone else to step forward – it has to be us. And it has to be now.

Thank you for your insight. Karina Garcia is another strong voice on the immigration issue- she is Political Chair of the Chicano Caucus at Columbia University.
Watch this clip as minuteman, Jim Gilchrist cuts and runs during the debate. America needs to see what a coward he truly is.

You are no leader. Simply a loud mouthed, bigoted, cowardly, hell bound whore. Nothing else matters. Your passing from this world will not be mourned except by those whose minds you've twisted. I would await your response but it would only be more of the pedantic drivel you've recycled from greater minds than yours.
Of course, I should note, that 'greater' in this sense is relative since the majority of the worlds posess such faculties.
