Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
Theocrats inside and outside Congress aim to pass constitutional
amendments banning gay marriage and flag burning, and new restrictions
on abortion before November. Getting Alito and Roberts on the
Supreme Court, banning abortion in South Dakota, and beginning
bible-teaching in public schools just isn’t enough for these Christian
fundamentalists – they aim to create a society ruled by their hateful
and intolerant “morality”, and have no intentions of stopping.
The consequences of course, will mean women dying from back-alley
abortions, gays being second-class citizens (or worse), and no dissent
to official policy.
The House has already passed the Constitutional amendment banning
flag burning, as well as a bill aimed at preventing minors from
crossing state lines to get abortions, and Bill Frist has vowed to move
these through the Senate. Theocratic organizations like the
Family Research Council and Americans United to Preserve Marriage, and
their counterparts in Congress (like Sen. Brownback, the sponsor of the
gay marriage ban) are also determined to pass through a Constitutional
amendment establishing marriage as between one man and one women,
thereby codifying their fundamentalist religion as law. All this
has the support of Bush, as well as many other powerful forces within
the government.
Without massive resistance from the people, where will things be
come this November? Will the government have moved that much
closer to a full-blown theocracy, with the Democrats following their
strategy of finding common ground with religious fanatics? Or
will there be a movement from below refusing to bow down to this deadly
dynamic, and instead setting off to change the course of history?
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
