Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.
Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
Your government suppresses the science that doesn’t fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.
Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.
Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
People look at all this and think of Hitler ( and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.
Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and outraged by this. They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the challenge, and people sense this.
There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections and believe they’re on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight.
There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people.
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn ( or be forced ( to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it.
And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush’s outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime’s program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.
Acting in this way, we join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.
This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.
The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!

Eva, your words were premature in light of legalizing gay marriage. That was \\\’annulled\\\’ in Calif.
Please get your facts right. The US was founded on the principle of the right to worship in the manner of ones choice and the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
I suggest you read David Kuo\\\’s book, Tempting Faith. Kuo was in the #2 position in the Faith Based Initiatives programs. He exposes the fact that the Christian Right was merely a pawn, a \\\’voting block\\\’. Perhaps Bush is a Christian. But calling killing 1 million Iraqis and leaving 5 million children orphans a mere mistake leads me to believe that you do not keep up on the news. I don\\\’t blame you for not knowing what\\\’s going on in the name of your country, as media is controlled by parties such as GE which owns Raytheon, a HUGE military contractor.
I also suggest you read War is a Racket by Gen. Smedley Butler, who stopped a fascist coup engages by Prescott Bush and other Nazi supporters.
And remember the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower, to beware of the Military Industrial Complex. I suggest that if you love what this country stands for (or used to) that you learn more about what is going on in the world.

Remember, Democracy is impossible without an informed electorate. That would be you.
Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
haha…okay..for one, so what In America we can belive in whatever we like…and this is a christian based country anyways…so people can believe what ever they like but America generaly holds it’s values from christianity because thats how our government started with the english settlers (and just because they’re english settlers doesn’t mean you have to type “white”..are you racist?)
and two…IF we were turning into a theocracy (which we aren’t..) we would never allow gay rights and marriages.
and just because Bush made stupid mistakes doesn’t mean that he’s the only man ever in this world to make a mistake, plenty of rulers from many different countries have made bad choices.
