In His Own Words

A speech delivered by President Bush on April 20, 2004 -- Buffalo, New York:

Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution.

Letter To The Administration:
Dear Mr. Bush, Cheney, Hastert, and the entire White House Administration,

Please place your resignations in full page ads with the following newspapers: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Sun, The Denver Post, The Los Angeles Times, the San Fransisco Chronicle and the Seattle Post Intelligencer. As of January 1, 2006 you are no longer "in charge" of my country.

You have breached the faith that you swore to keep with American citizens. You have lied, cheated, pillaged, and plundered for the last time on my watch. Your autocracy is a violation of the US Constitution, which you have plainly stated is merely "a goddamned piece of paper!". Such disrespect for the documents that founded this country are intolerable to true patriots; and I find you all to have betrayed the nation willfully and with malice aforethought.

The Declaration of Independence gives me the right, no, the duty to mount an insurrection against a tyrannical government. That right is never to be taken lightly and must be executed with all speed and determination. Our Founders expect that of we present-day Americans. Who we are is who they were: patriots who loved this country enough to sacrifice their lives for it. Never let it be said that I am a lesser patriot than they. Here is their directive:

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."

Therefore, should you fail to submit yourselves to the will of the people of this nation by volunteering your resignations from positions in government, you shall be subject to a new enactment of Revolution. You shall be responsible for bringing a civil war upon this country, the likes of which have not been seen in 230 years. We will not allow you to tarnish our principles and trample our freedoms any longer.

I sincerely hope that your spy technology is picking this overt threat to you up and recording it. I am proud to defend my country from liars, thieves and murderers such as you. I am proud to declare war on a government that has become a dictatorship. And I am ready to bring about your destruction if you will not honor the oaths you took to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Indeed, it is no longer a matter of "if". It is a matter of fait accompli.

Therefore, do as you have been ordered by the American people. Resign your offices and leave the government of this nation to the people who you have bullied, spied upon, lied to, murdered, and betrayed. Go now with your lives. Refuse and you will be punished.

Does this spying against citizens serve God's purpose? Why did God raise up the Bushites? Was it to expose that old man of sin? Is this what is happening, God said, the world will wax worse and worse? Are we in the last days? Will the evil destroy the good? While God takes the just with him and the evil will be seperated from anything good through out eternity? Was this done for evil to reign apart from God? Who will be left and who will go? Let us think outside our fear for our Country? Should we always do the right thing, instead of exercising power over the least of us?

This felony is a disgrace. We need to be sure that the Republicans are made fully aware and fully embarassed over this criminal act. Judge elect Alioto must commit to honoring the existing system, otherwise defeat him. We need to get the NAACP TO COME OUT AND MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS. We need to prepare for the 06 elections.Goldy

Breaking the law is breaking the law. The law was written very clearing. And much of the spying was done on peace activists. Also, the Admin has used the IRS to pressure a Church that preached peace and a different coarse of action. What about the churches that are pro-war??? How did the Admin know about this? Spying seems to be the obvious answer.

The magnitude of the spying and using the IRS is greater that Nixon did. Why is this even a debate??????

Has America's moral compass changed so much that spying is not spying and breaking the law is not breaking the law???
