I hope I have underestimated the good will of the American people
and that people of sound mind, good will, human decency will turn out in droves to unseat the devil in the WH and his minions in the Congress. I know we can't turn it around in 4 years but we can begin the process of cleansing our government and our democracy one election at a time. The evil doers own most everything and control our Congress, coursts, and executive branch of our government, and the media. But the will of the people can overcome this if motivated. I hope we are motivated enough to try to send these snakes back under the rocks from which they came.

But I worry......

6. We need to win big and keep our eyes open.
I think it's quite likely that there will be a sigificant backlash against this administration and the enabling Republican Party that is busy wrecking America, both domestically and internationally. Their agenda is catching up with them. I truly believe we could win 60/40 by November. If so, that will be too significant for them to steal. Even better would be recapturing the Senate and, the cloud being willing, the House. Then you will see some real change taking place....with a vengence.

2. the repubsindependents/undecideds i know are freaked by the pictures
and the torture stories are about to really bust loose. scary.

but i think their horror and the economy and the soldier deaths and the cost and no WMD...

it is adding up. if the election is fair, bushco gets crushed.

i wonder if the world can survive another 6 months of bushco, though.

4. Have you pledged to do something about this
Now here are some of the things I have been up to

(Hi mike take notes, our resident shall we say friend)

Sent Amicus briefs to the court with that lawyer organization that did, after the first reports of abuse, err torture, came out... and now I feel I need to seat down and write another one... noose feels a tad tight now... but what the hell? It is already there.

Oh yes, pestered my congress critters often and repeteadly, phone, email letters, you get the picture. If we feed them, they may just get it.

Letters to local papers (may get one published)

Will join, or rather have joined, the Kerry campaign

Oh gave money to Dean, Kucinish and now Kerry, as well as the ACLU, and the Senate and Congressional races. Oh Mike in case you have not figured this out, not to any Republican, even if Judge Moore looks tempting.

Mike am I getting close here to having commited treason as the current administration interprets it Mike, or have you read that Constitution, really tell me what you think of that REVOLUTIONARY document.

By the way, those of you who have no idea who Mike is, he is our freindly and local agent from the Secret Service, and Bev Harris intro him to us, so please say Hi to Mike.

5. Rumbutt to testify before Congress, Friday....
He was a joke at the 911 Commission, yet the media said he was great because he never got to answer a straight question, joked and blew kisses to the panel.

I'm sure, Friday's testimony will be the same joke. I didn't hear if other military officials will be called before Congress, but it seems that many others, down to that slutty English woman should have their asses dragged down in front of Congress. If only Rumbutt testify, it is only a charade to show that Wicket bush didn't interfere in Congress' investigation, and Wicket bush will come out smelling like a rose, like always.
