Question to Anarchists and a request for everyone to vote.

So, Im just typing this offline but on screen. I have no idea how much I can type into this screen. Usually I do video. I hope to keep it brief.

Voting is not just about personalities at the top of the ticket.

Many important policy decisions at a local, county and statewide level. things on the ballot accross these domains include urban growth, drug policy, funding for education and more.

While all this might seem overwhelming, there are voter guides out there from every perspective. Find one from someone you respect, add your own feelings and get in line with your neighbors to cast your ballot. Short of continuous organising and lobbying, not a bad idea, it's the main thing we have.

I will go on to say that we are (we being the imc movement) are part of a global revolution, one whose ultimate outcome will be determined on many levels.

Voting is part of that. Being on the street is part of that. CD is part of that. Confrontration is a part of that. Being in the background, voluntering at an IMC, making sure the world knows is a part of that.

Cuba and Venezuela just made adeal to exchange oil (for Cuba) and doctors and sport coaches (for Venezuala).

This challenges corporate power.

Where ever, how ever. This must be the goal.

Tactics consistent with giving people on the ground who have a story to tell, that know one else is telling, can be our only goal.

There is a continuity between challenging corporate poer and giving under-representated voices a place.

Some say that is a white, elitist thing. Maybe so. But is our place to do this and use our privelige as best we can. Some of us even get clubbed, beaten and arrested to make the point.

One struggle, many fronts.

Vote, write, interview, videotape, agitate.

What you do you do for all.

Whether Gore or Bush is elected, 80% of the people in this world will suffer because of decisions they make.
