I'm talking to my relatives in Utah, collating links, and trying to get them to understand that at the very least, Brown and Chertoff need to be held fully responsible for this disaster. I also point out that the guy they voted for, Mr. Bush, is totally responsible for their appointment.
So far at least one of my sisters is writing to her congressman (whose campaign we worked on as teenagers) to demand that they get the axe, and replaced with either Giuliani or James Witt. Dunno about the rest of my family. It takes time to tell them that their favourite cricket team really sucks at running the country, without them feeling personally attacked. (Sure, it would be nice to let loose with the vitriol, but frankly, I think it would be counter-productive. What Bush needs to see right now is a lot of pissed off Republicans. He already knows about the pissed off Dems. I'm working on it slowly, but hopefully surely.)
In other news, I think I'm going to find at least one thing I can volunteer for at a local level, and try and find some rallies to go to.
