Write Your Senate and Congress Representatives
The Register reports that the New York Times have broken a story into the illegal wiretapping conducted by the Bush regime. The register reports the story in short here. In one area where we still have the power to let Bush know we are not going to tolerate his criminal activity in the white house, take the opportunity to let your representatives know we do not wish his legislation to pass, exempting those responsible from prosecution. It’s time the regime is held accountable for the continued criminal activity that’s been conducted during their tenure. From lies about the war in Iraq to continue constitutional violations, how long are Americans willing to stand back passively and look the other way? Being an ex-pat in Europe, I am often embarrassed by the tolerance we as a nation have for the continued abuses coming from the Bush regime. I hope we can stand together and let the world know Americans as a whole do not support the policies and actions coming from the white house. We were duped. We were duped when the idiot was sworn into office and we continue to be duped today by the self interests of those covering their asses for the mistakes made over the past 7 years.
While the article indicates these measures were in place since the 90’s - it’s not come to light that any other President has condoned and allowed - encouraged - their use. Bush and his agenda for the few mega-rich need to be sent the message the rest of us working American’s aren’t interested. Just say No to politics as normal.
That said, IMNSHO that will include Hillary Clinton and anyone from the current Republican ranks. Does Obama have what it takes? I hear rhetoric about new ideas and an end to politics as normal.
Now I feel ambivalent. Bleh. With the economy going into the toilet, the housing market plopping into the toilet, and oil interests sapping at both the environment and our wallets who’s got the “golden balls” to ensure things in the US are put back on track?
