Fellow citizens,

Having worked very hard to get Bush out of office I am, like millions of Americans, deeply distressed by the accelerated destruction of our precious country. Despite all the 'spin' on the corporate media claiming Bush has a 'mandate' for his criminal behavior, the fact is more Americans voted against the re-election of an incumbant war-time president that ever before.

I am angry at Kerry that he asked his supporters to now "unify" behind the President, 'begin the healing', and "win the war in Iraq". This was the perfect time to have reminded all Americans that a healthy democracy must maintain a healthy opposition and a diversity of views. It called to mind an apt quote about national unity.

"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life." Adolph Hitler, My New World Order, Proclamation to the German Nation at Berlin, February 1, 1933

Personally, I believe in goof old All-American dissent. If the Democrats won't even talk about the need for a strong opposition, even when they have lost an election to a fascist criminal, the American people will have to make change despite the politicians. Afterall, that is exactly how we stopped the 'bi-partisan' war in Viet Nam, how the slaves were freed, and how women and Blacks won the vote.

I will carry on protesting this, and any regime, that:
+ Bombs and kills innocent civilians (100,000 confirmed dead in Iraq).
+ Sends poor and uneducated Americans to their deaths in the armed forces for the benefit of the rich and powerful.
+ Lies about war profiteering and steals Billions of dollars.
+ Holds prisoners without trial or access to a lawyer.
+ Systematically abuses prisoners, both here and abroad.
+ Willfully suppresses a free press, discriminates against Arab-Americans, African-Americans, and those who do not fear them or their gods,
+ Suppresses the investigation of the 9/11 commission, the Antrax deaths and the attempted murder of the Minority Leader,
+ Abuses the liberty of its own citizens with the so-called Patriot Act.
+ Systematically breaks international law and conventions.
+ Deliberately spreads fear and crams minority cultist and fundamentalist religious dogma down the throats of so-called free Americans.

The only cure for post-election stress disorder is good old ALL-AMERICAN DISSENT! I hope you will join me and encourage others to turn up the heat on both parties, before we find ourselves in the 're-education' camps.

With Liberty and Justice for All - and Peace, too.
