A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?


In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.

Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.

She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.

Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".

 
I say we fight back.  Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

Clermont County and "humidity"

« H E Freepublican Hash :: The Mullahs of Congress :: Boadicea :: email

I'll have a glass of that from the Whiskey Bar:
If you followed the returns last night, you may have noticed that one county in the district -- Clermont -- was extremely late in reporting part of its returns. Clermont is the second largest pool of votes in the district and provided roughly a quarter of all ballots castyesterday. It's also a GOP stronghold (in a GOP stronghold district) and Jean Schmidt's home turf.

We need to contest every questionable action in vote counting-not because it will change the return on this one, but because every time we do NOT call the Republicans on their shenanigans, they put it on the list for next time.

Challenge Clermont County. The Ethics Free Zone that is the Ohio Republican Party deserves not one ounce of credit in their own integrity.

This must be part of the 50 state strategy. The voters who participate, the volunteers who've worked so hard, and the candidates who run deserve no less.
