Take responsibility. Be accountable.
The Republican Party has been sitting back, doing nothing, and silently watching as their party sold out to the imposters that run OUR HOUSE. They are not fit to call themselves Americans, IMO. This isn't just about the politicians in DC. This is about all of the Americans who aided and abetted these evil, maniacal monsters and I don't believe that their participation in all of this madness should bear no consequence! Actions have consequences. Every spineless politician in this country OWNS THIS BULLSHIT! That's right! Ownership. They own this evil. Now, what are THEY going to do about it?

Peace.

3. Sent another letter to Sen Martinez (Fla)
<I sent the following, with my entire earlier letter appended. I'm only including the second paragraph of my earlier letter here.>

6 September 2005

Sir

I just read your press release of September 1, 2005 and was surprised by the following statement “While no one could have predicted or prevented the extent of Hurricane Katrina’s damage…” I am amazed, truly amazed! I have appended my earlier email to you on this very subject. Predictions were everywhere, monies were channeled elsewhere (one of my favorites is the $200+ million bridge between islands in Alaska), but nowhere is there anyone stepping forward to assume responsibility.

I have read that the President is going to conduct an investigation. Might I suggest this is similar to the fox telling the farmer that the henhouse has been robbed of hens and eggs, and that he, himself, will look into it for the farmer. I would like to recommend a full Senate investigation to determine what went wrong with the planning, what went wrong with the implementation of what turned out to be a faulty plan (FEMA officials were in Greece for a wedding for heaven’s sake!), and issue indictments against those who are found culpable.

Respectfully

<The following is the second paragraph of my earlier letter>


Perhaps you’ve also heard or read words from various members of the administration that there was no way the partial collapse of the New Orleans levee system could have been predicted. Surely you are aware of the disaster simulation “Hurricane Pam” which addressed not only that scenario but also the need to evacuate thousands of displaced citizens and the use of the Superdome as a shelter. Note also that the Times-Picayune of New Orleans ran a multi-part series on that and the reduction of funding to the Army Corps of Engineers for that very project (levee upgrade and repairs.)

4. Your first sentence....sounded like you were talking about Democrats.
They've been sitting back, doing nothing afraid to take a stand on anything. They haven't even been radicalized by the images on TV.
