An open letter to Politicians
We don't need leaders, we can lead ourselves. What we need are
those willing to serve if we are to have peace on earth. We have
had too many 'leaders' who have led us into war, poverty and unending
debt while they themselves live a life of luxury. We don't need
politicians that claim to empower us...we are already all powerful. We
don't need politicians who claim they are for the people... when in
reality they are for the rich and powerful. We don't need politicians
who fight each other for one upsmanship, claiming all the while they are
fighting for us. Fighting weakens you. Love and understanding, giving,
sharing and compassion makes you strong. We don't need politicians to
point out to us the other guys faults and weaknesses... you have no
right to judge another. Work on your own. We are not blind we can see
for ourselves. Just tell us how you will serve us, let us decide it we
want you or not. Then once in office do what you promised. Who are we?
We are the people you promised to serve, not dictate to and make choices
for us that will impact not only our lives but many generations to come.
We are the ones who work and keep this country going. We are the ones
that pay for your life of luxury. We are the ones that are going to make
changes in the world. We are the ones that will bring order out of
chaos, peace out of war. We are the ones that WILL SEE PEACE ON EARTH.
How? By loving our neighbor as ourselves. And this does not mean just
your neighborhood next door neighbor... for the entire world, the entire
universe is your neighbor.
We are the peacemakers. We are the future.

Chief Justice
John Marshall
declares that any act of
U.S.
Congress
which conflicts with the
Constitution
is void.
Editor's Note: Please keep in mind before
you can become a policeman, Judge, Congressman, Senator, President of
The U.S.A., a Cabinet member or hold any other high office in our
government, you must first take an oath to uphold and protect our
Constitution above all other laws. Failing to do so is an act of
treason, punishable by death by U.S. law. Here are some
things our constitution will not allow, Thus they are all
constitutionally Null and Void. The Patriot
act, The Department of Homeland Security, Warrantless Spying on
Americans, The War on Drugs, The war in
Afghanistan, The War in Iraq, The War on Terrorism, a Preemptive strike
War with Iran and the list goes on and on...
In short, Bush and every member of his cabinet are
guilty of high treason and so are ALL U.S. congressmen and senators who
voted for any of the things listed above.

...But the vast majority of Republican Senators, several of them millionaires

Former President George H.W. Bush waged a secret campaign over several months

retired four-star general if he would accept the position, a reliable source
close to the general told me. But the former president's effort failed,
apparently rebuffed by the current president. When seven retired generals who
had been commanders in Iraq demanded Rumsfeld's resignation in April, the
younger Bush leapt to his defense. "I'm the decider and I decide what's best.
And what's best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain," he said. His endorsement of
Rumsfeld was a rebuke not only to the generals but also to his father...

Or to quote the bill: "To provide for the common defense by requiring all
persons in the United States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 to
perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in
furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other
purposes."
The House is to convene on June 6 (06/06/06) to debate and possibly adopt this
bill, that is, unless a vast public outcry succeeds in derailing this insanity,

A State of Emergency
Bush is a danger to the constitution in his
wartime capacity as commander in chief
Sidney Blumenthal, The Guardian, June 1, 2006
Within the Bush administration something that senior officials call the "war
paradigm" is the central organizing principle. They do not use the phrase
publicly, but they bend policy to serve it. After September 11 the war paradigm
was instantly adopted. George Bush, who proclaimed "I'm a war president",
assumed the paradigm as his natural state and right. According to its
imperatives, the president in his wartime capacity as commander in chief makes
and enforces laws as he sees fit, overriding the constitutional system of checks
and balances. Some of the paradigm's expressions include
Bush's fiats on the treatment of detainees, domestic
surveillance and international law, and his more than 750 "signing
statements" - interpretations of laws that he claims he can implement as he
chooses.
In the beginning, the elements of the war paradigm appeared to be expediencies,
conceived as emergency measures in the struggle against al-Qaida. But their
precepts were developed before September 11 by John Yoo, promoted to deputy
assistant attorney general in the office of legal counsel at the
department of justice, where he was tasked to write secret memos on torture,
surveillance and executive power...

Bush's Enron Lies
"Four years ago, when the taboo against calling George W. Bush a liar was even

administration's spin that the President did nothing to bail out his Enron
benefactors, including Kenneth Lay," writes Robert Parry. "But the reality is
that the Bush-can't-be-bought spin was never true."

Administration Borrows more from Foreign Nations

A release from John Tanner (D-TN)
Washington, D.C. - President George W. Bush and the
current Administration have now borrowed more money from foreign governments and
banks than the previous 42 U.S. presidents combined.
Throughout the first 224 years (1776-2000) of our nation's history, 42 U.S.
presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and
financial institutions according to the U.S. Treasury Department. In the past
four years alone (2001-2005), the Bush Administration has borrowed a staggering
$1.05 trillion.
"The seriousness of this rapid and increasing financial
vulnerability of
our country can hardly be overstated," said Rep. John Tanner (D-TN)

STORY, OR IS IT ?
GOLF INJURY
Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her
ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.
The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his hands together
at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.
The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize.
"Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist and I know I could
relieve your pain if you'd allow me," she told him.
"Oh, no, I'll be all right. I'll be fine in a few minutes," the man
replied.
He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping
his hands together at his groin.
At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently
took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and
put her hands inside. She administered tender and artful massage for
several long moments then asked... "How does that feel?"
He replied, "it feels great, but my thumb, where I got hit with the gulf
ball still hurts"

Life Is Backwards
The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is
tough. It takes up a lot of your time.
What do you get in the end of it? A death.
What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards.
You should die first. You know, start out dead and get it out of the way.
You wake up in an old age home, feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension and then
when you start work,
you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink like a fish, party your ass off, and screw anything that moves
you've only got a few years left, so why not?!?
Then you get ready for High School. You go to primary school. You become a
kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, then you
spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central
heating,
spa, room service on tap, larger quarters everyday.
And then you finish off as an orgasm!

What is a Billion?
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one
advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into
perspective in one of its releases:
A billion seconds ago - it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago - Jesus was alive
A billion hours ago- our ancestors were living in
the Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago -
was only 8 hours and 20
minutes, at the
rate that the Federal Government in Washington D.C. spends it.
Editor's Note: A
viewer wrote in on 6/29/2005, telling me the statement above was wrong.
Here is what he had to say...
On your website you have a statement about what is a
billion:
1 Billion Seconds ago it was 1973 not 1959
1 Billion Minutes ago Jesus had died and been risen for over 60 years
Depending on the Budget the 8hrs 20min might actually be a lot faster.
(The 8.333hrs is dependent on a yearly budget of 1.051 Trillion dollars)
His source: www.snopes.com
My Thoughts...
Since the annual budget that President Bush proposed for the up coming year is
over 2.4 Trillion dollars... That would mean that our government is now spending
your tax dollars at the rate of over 2 billion dollars every 8 hours !
*****************
Despite what President Bush says, the war on Iraq is not over. The cost of this
war to the American tax payer is going up every second. Since we can't put a
price on human lives, we will just give you the figures in tax dollars that the
American tax payers have paid as of right now. These figures were provided by
