The USA I was told about…
Had the interests of freedom, democracy, liberty, justice, and equality at the core of its values.
Promoted world peace and mutual understanding between friend and foe alike.
Was governed by a Constitution written by the people, for the people.
Was a champion of human and civil rights that nations around the world respected.
Had a system of checks and balances to ensure no one branch of government could become too powerful or crippled by another.
Prided itself in providing its citizens with world class education, training, support and care when they need it…
BUT THEN…
I watched this administration destroyed our already fragile image in the world. I watched as this administration ruined our commitment to disarmament, peace, and security, for which we have, in the past, led by example.
I watched this administration attempt to dismantle social security; attempt to roll back the wheel of time and restrict the rights we hold as core beliefs.
I learned that the Constitution means nothing to these same people who have passed the Patriot Act, allowed domestic surveillance programs, and warrant-less searches against American citizens.
I have watched them gut the budget and fill it with expenditures that destroyed our ability to fund public education, and important domestic programs. Instead this debt goes to multi-billion dollar a year black budget projects, ridiculously lavish defense contracts and spending… while the majority of American citizens work from pay check to pay check to make ends meet.
I have watched them wage a war of aggression against Iraq, a nation with no ties to Al Queda or other terrorist networks, in the name of protecting us from “weapons of mass destruction". The war of aggression is the most blatant abuse of military power since the burning of the Reichstag and ultimately Hitler’s invasion of Poland during WW2.
I have watched this administration make the United States look backwards and foolish both to ourselves and the rest of the world.
I have watched this administration and the Republican party, who control all branches of government, draw the United States closer to a one-party fascist dictatorship.
I have watched this administration disgrace the United States of America!
IMPEACH NOW!!!!
