Dear MoveOn.org,

So, I get a whole lot of emails from you and all they seem to do is to depress me, anger me and make me feel bad about not taking action for 30 seconds or thereabouts, depending on the subject matter. I don't like these feelings. They do not agree with my disposition.
Every time I stop long enough to really read one of your rally-crying messages, I can't help noticing a trend. Let's see, first, you BREAK THE NEWS; then, you threaten my freedom, privacy and other human rights with the CORPORATE MACHINE; insert disturbing detail here; next: BATTLE CRY (cry as in sobscreamholler); then into a diatribe on another dastardly deed of the RIGHT WING; and lastly you ASK FOR THINGS, for money and signatures and ACTION STATIONS, ACTION STATIONS; blah blah blah; money money money; wah wah wah; thanks for all your help; sincerely (your name here).
But you never really break outside your own box. Politics isn't a line, it isn't all there is, it isn't even all that real. Right, left and center, 'liberal' and 'conservative,' douchebag and deity, FCC, FAFSA, FBI, fucking federal anything, corporatocracy, idiocracy, capitalist hypocrisy, potato and potato, it all the same bullshit rag we've had gagging us since infancy. It's limits are not ours. Let it go, and, much like a parasite cut off from its life source, it will let go you, and fade. Turn your face and energy towards something else; stop feeding the monster its favourite food: hate.
Why not try spreading light instead of fear of the dark? Just mention a super happy thing that happened to you today to every contact in your address book, brighten everybody's day! For example: Today, my fingers learned to play an oldnew song. It's called For What It's Worth, by Buffalo Springfield. Listen to it. That's poetry, that's beauty, that's worth my time.
Share words of hope, faith and small joys; those are what will truly save the world.

have the best day ever,
clare
