[cross-posted from DKos:]
I'm sick and tired of hearing the Bushies and the Traditional Media label good old First Amendment protected expressions of disagreement with the President as some sort of unpatriotic anti-American act. I'm equally tired of hearing them assert that the only valid form of patriotism is unthinking acquiescence to King George.
Our Founding Fathers didn't buy it. Neither do I. I'm betting you don't either. So, I want to do something about it. I want to get the Dissent Is Patriotic message out there. I want to remind people that it was dissent with King George's policies that launched this nation in the first place. That dissent is just about the most patriotic thing a citizen can do.
And I want your help to do it. How? There's more...
