WE WERE AT A CROSSROADS A LONG TIME AGO

NOW WE ARE IN A HOLE AND NEED TO STOP THE IGNORANT HAZE WE ARE LIVING IN. We cannot continue the path we are on and expect the results to afford us the status quo in the future. We are on a national policy and governmental mindset that is stagnant, dangerous - and we are in sinking sand. I heard a man speak last year who said that in several years the world stage would not see the USA maintain its number one position of power in the world. But that China will become that position. Our national economy is being funded by loans from guess who? China.

Is China really the country that we want to be in debt to? It seems preposterous that we would want a country with China's human rights abuses be our bank in essence. But then we have allowed our own country to ignore basic human rights in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.

The Abu Ghraib Scandal Cover-Up?
Bush insists that 'a few American troops' dishonored the country.
But prisoner abuse was more widespread, and some insiders believe that much remains hidden

The Patriot Act is frighteningly unconstitutional. The First Amendment states that “CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW……da duh, da duh, da duh… But they did and Bush signed it. Of course Bush ordered it. You are not as free as you think you are.

The Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” The Patriot Act removes this Fourth Amendment from our Constitutional Rights.

The Patriot Act

Have you read the Constitution lately? I have a tiny little booklet of it that I picked up at my U.S. Senator Jack Reed’s Cranston office when I lobbied him regarding Darfur May 29, 2007. It sits here at my computer.

The United States of America is not the country that I believe in anymore. We have given the USA haters an arsenal of reasons to detest us. I detest our actions…Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, The Patriot Act. And that’s just for starters.

Every day that George Bush is our President is one more day of me wanting to
a. impeach him and his whole crew,
b. refuse to pay my taxes that support his disastrous government –
it certainly isn’t my government,
c. tell the world that I am sorry.
d. send a message to congress to grow back a backbone, find a moral compass and step up to the plate and give me some reason to not think they are totally useless.

IF OUR LEADERS WON'T LEAD

ON THE ULTIMATE RIGHT TO LIVING A LIFE

THEN It is Our Torch to Carry

STOPPING GENOCIDE IS A RESPONSITILITY FOR ALL OF US

Genocide flourishes when there is no accountability.

WE CAN’T SAY THAT WE CARE ABOUT JUSTICE

WHEN WE DO NOTHING TO STOP THE INJUSTICE
