Need your opinion on my Nov. 2 protest sign!
What you see here will be small in black as the background (to illustrate how very many things are wrong in our nation) with "NOT MY AMERICA" in big, bold, red letters in front. Opinions, suggestions, comments?

This is not my America.
My America would not send it’s children to die over one mans vendetta.
My America would not partake of aggression against nations undeserving of her wrath.
My America would not tolerate or encourage the intolerance of Americans.
My America would know to show strength when necessary, compassion when necessary.
My America would know how and when to admit a mistake, and that such is not an admission of weakness.
My America would not place in charge those who seek only to divide this nation.
My America would not turn a blind eye to an administration that lies and misleads its public.
My America would not uphold those lies.
My America would not threaten or invade those lands that are no threat or danger to her.
My America would not incarcerate its citizens without charge, legal representation, or chance to prove their innocence.
My America would not allow snap legislation to be passed on a whim.
My America would not invent acclamations for ideas or actions that have earned none.
My America would defend itself to those who seek to tarnish her name, at home or abroad.
My America would not allow the beliefs of one group of people to govern all people.
My America would not count on the ignorance of her subjects to allow participation in illegal and unconstitutional actions.
My America would not ignore the pain or anger of her people, nor hide their outcries against wrongdoing.
My America would not threaten ancient sacred lands for the crimes of a nations extremist.
My America would not allow those crimes to go unanswered, those criminals unaccounted for.
My America would protect her borders, and her people, and their freedom.
My America would not legislate on opinion.
My America would not appoint as its power heads proven criminals.
My America would not defend traitors.
My America would not be apathetic to our wounding of others.
My America would not ignore issues that affect each living thing on this planet.
My America would not choose corporations over the common working family.
My America would not work to divide the poor and the rich.
My America would not use its children as test subjects.
My America does not run on pharmaceuticals, neither should her people.
My America would not stand for the dumbing down of her youth.
My America would not outsource her jobs while her people starve.
My America would not give power to those who would use it for their own financial gain.
My America would not force her will on people that have no desire or wish for it.
My America would not poison this earth, air, water, and people.
My America would defend every mans right to retirement, not just the wealthy.
My America would not promote censorship.
My America would not allow a one party rule.
My America is a democracy, not an autocracy or kingdom.
My America is beautiful, powerful, proud and free.

8. I Would Synopsize That ...
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 01:19 AM by Peter Frank
...this is the most un-American/unpatriotic administration that America and democracy at large has ever experienced.

This is not the America I grew up to revere.
