Twice today i have burst into tears thinking about what is going on in our own country and over in Iraq. (I am a 22 year male college student who hasn't cried since I was 13 and0 my grandmother had just passed away).

I am not sure why I became so emotional today, I have no friends or family over there, there was no trigger. Actually, I do know why i cried, its because i feel helpless and shamed that i have let the most beautiful document in the history of man, The US Constitution be bastardized.

The checks and balances that our fore fathers put forth have finally failed, our Legislative branch, our Executive branch, our courts, and even the fourth unofficial check the Media have become a capitalistic self serving symbol of wealth and greed.

But coming to these boards I am reminded our fore fathers knew that if we were to ever loose the integrity of these institutions we had the most powerful tool at our disposal. US

I have had a faith throughout this whole thing that justice will be served and that the right people will step in at the right time and save the country.

I now realize that we are the only hope, we are the right people at the right time and we have to keep pushing forward.

We have done so much here already and I sincerely thank all of you, however we are realistically far from victory. We must weather this storm and prevail we simply do not have a choice.

Keep up the good work and thank you all, this message board will go down in history as being the catalyst for exposing the truth and saving this country, I wont stop until that statement is true and I know none of you will either.
