Our Childrens Blood

Our founding fathers are spinning in their graves at how quickly their dream of a self governed America is unraveling. They fought against British rule and the inequity of taxation without representation. However in this very county today we are being ruled by a group of people who have as much disdain for us as England had for the colonies. We are no longer being “represented” by our elected officials. Our constitution is on its death bed and yet, how many American’s can you talk to today who blithely state, “I hate politics, I don’t vote, and they all lie anyway”? This attitude is one that is deeply troubling and must be reversed.

If we don’t feel that our government leaders are honest, it is WE who are to blame. If you can’t manage to get your head out of the TV set long enough to write a letter to your representative or make a phone call to a senator and let them know you are watching and what you expect of them, how can you expect that they will NOT become corrupt? We have let the government “run itself” for so long that the machine now thinks it can decide for itself what is best for the people.

If “We the People,” do not care enough to collectively rise up and put the government machine back into its place it is ourselves that will pay the price. What is it going to take for YOU to get off your ass and turn off the TV? Your children’s blood will be running in the street as they give their lives to take back by force what you gave away out of apathy and laziness.

Read, get informed, write a letter, give money, talk to people, demand the truth, Vote, organize, resist, don’t give your rights away; pick something and get it done this month! Just because you cannot do everything is not an excuse to do nothing and even though you are only one person, if you do what you can, it will be enough.

Granny can’t get her medication but Paris can keep her tax cut.

"Cutting the deficit during a time of war requires us to restrain spending in other areas," Mr Bush said in his weekly radio address.

Mr Bush said the budget for the year starting in October 2007 would underline the need to tighten spending on domestic programs - including on education, energy and health.
The Washington Post newspaper said domestic spending would increase by 1% - less than inflation.

What this means is that the middle class working people of America (i.e. YOU unless you make several million dollars a year) will continue to bare the brunt of this “war on terror”. We will continue to see the cost of our everyday necessities go up in order to fund the brutal illegal war in Iraq.

What really makes me angry with this whole thing is that the “media” is complicit in the raping and pillaging of our nation. The average American will not see the connection between the war, the profits for the elite few, and the tax cuts for millionaires that are bought with the blood and backs of our middle class workers.

WE are the soldiers in the streets of Iraq and Afghanistan. WE are the people working 2 and 3 jobs just to maintain the standard of living we had 10 years ago. WE are the ones who will be choosing this next year between diapers for the baby or glasses for our 8 year old. WE are the ones PAYING for Bush’s “tax cuts” for the RICH.

Does Paris Hilton REALLY need to keep a tax cut when the rest of us are paying for it?

Am I the only one who sees the problem with this picture?
