I believe it is wrong to lie a country into an illegal war of aggression.
I believe it is wrong to drop bombs on civilian neighborhoods.
I believe that it is wrong to steal an election by illegally disenfranchising African American voters.
I believe it is wrong to engage in torture.
I believe it is wrong to put people's lives and health in danger by destroying the environment.
I
believe that all people are entitled to all of their constitutional
rights, and no president, legitimate or illegitimate, should ever be
able to deny a person their constitutional guarantees simply by
uttering the words "Enemy Combatant."
I believe it is wrong to
violate the law and set up an illegal government eavesdropping program
that monitors the calls of ordinary Americans.
I believe it is
wrong to hand out multi-billion dollar contracts to corporations like
Halliburton, despite massive evidence that they are ripping people off.
I
believe it is wrong to leave tens of millions of Americans without
access to health insurance, while the pharmaceutical companies and HMO
executives live lives of excess luxury.
I believe it is wrong
for a man who claims to be president to go to a birthday party for John
McCain while New Orleans is drowning.
I believe it is wrong
that the man who claims to be president can break the law without
being sent to prison like any other American would be if they had
commited a fraction of the crimes that George W. Bush has commited.
I believe that it is wrong that I even have to mention any of this, why would any of this be controversial?
What
has happened to our society when it is has become acceptable to torture
people, to lie the country in to war, to watch a major American city
drown and not help, to deny people health care, to illegally spy on
people, and to commit electoral fraud?
What has become of our
country when those who call for peace are labeled extremists, while
those who call for massive death and destruction in countries that pose
no threat to us are referred to as realists?
What has happened to our country when we are told to get over a stolen election and accept the illegitimate rule of a madman?
This is not the America we learned about in school.
It is time to take our country back.
