The Molly Ivins Resolution

Robert Manning:
Over 900 proven lies to create a war of occupation i n Iraq.
The people in power learned their lessons well with Vietnam. No draft.
Only embedded journalists.

We're asked to go out and shop.
There's no forum in which we can say 'no' effectively.

The goal of this campaign
Tell 10 more people
The "heart" of Congress is LOCAL OFFICES of our Representatives and
Senators

3rd Friday of every month
A coordinated effort nationally

As molly says in her speeches
Its up to us
We can change these things.

In person, phone, fax... info is on the website.

A lot of great quotes from her columns, read by Molly.

Off to take some pix herself

Betsy moon, Molly's assistant :

Molly said, while dictating her last two columns:
From now on I won't write anything
Except ending this obscene war

Audio Clips of Molly playing:
Garrison Keillor, Prairie Home Companion

"The proper condition of democracy is like a really noisy family
argument"

Then a serious excerpt from one of her speeches
