An Email from Rep. Louise Slaughter...please reply
She wants your thoughts and reflections on the Bush era. How has the Bush Administration affected your day to day life? What will it mean to have a Democratic Congress and President? What are you going to do to make that a reality? Members of Congress need to hear your voice loud and clear! I thought we HAVE been talking loud and clear!!!! http://www.votelouise.com/era

4. Yeah!
How do you begin to answer the question, "how has the Bush administration affected your day to day life." I have been in hell since they stole the Election the 2nd time!

5. My letter (kinda lengthy)
Though I've only lived 34 years and been political only 16 of those years, this nation is more divided than I've ever seen it. What's worse, there seems to be no end in site. This administration seems to be hellbent on ripping at the very fabric that holds us together by creating a divide that is larger than it has ever been before, whether it be with religion or economics. I also find myself looking at those that support this administration with disdain because they are supporting the destruction of our democracy.

More importantly, it seems there is little the "common" person can do to stop this. It feels like those that I voted for, the Democratic Party, have no spirit, no fight left. The Robert's hearing is a perfect example. Why were there no questions about his involvement in Iran Contra, why no questions about his involvement in the 2000 elections? Why is someone who doesn't seem to answer one important question during the hearings have the right to serve this nation? Yet no one really asked those hard questions though the American's they are hired to represent deserve to know about these things. If this man doesn't want to answer serious questions, then why should he be appointed to the highest court for another 30 years? It just doesn't make sense.

Finally, the way the media walks lock step with the Bush talking points, there is no discernable difference between fact and fiction. It took the horrible tragedy in the Gulf Coast to wake some from the slumber, including the media. This is the first time they have been truly critical of this administration and it is beginning to show in the polls. Why were they not this critical about his claims when taking this nation to war? We have since found that the entire war and the deaths' of 2000+ service members and countless innocent Iraqi's were all predicated on lies and fairy tales. Again, the Democratic Party showed no backbone, most signed on without a second thought.

This nation cannot afford to "stay the course" as the administration likes to say. This doesn't mean just the Republican party but the Democratic party as well. The entire federal government needs a hurricane to clean her halls because what we have now just isn't working.
