Who gave this illegal President and his corporate thugs
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 10:17 AM by mac2
permission to make us a European like union? Even the EU was to be for currency and trade. They made it government without citizen approval. They are doing the same underhanded act here.

Did we elect anyone to do this? It's all done in secret behind closed doors so it is not in our best interest. Why weren't the protests on the media. I didn't even hear Air America talk about it. Maybe Thom Hartmann a little.

The leading candidates who will be part of this new union? Nope Na Da. It is outrageous that they fail to talk about it at all. Does it make a difference since they will be puppets of the WTO and the secret elite organizations.

Is this not treason Congress? You violate your oath of office.

If this is a democracy why silence the protestors (who are citizens and pay for govenment) and the media?

Boot click.

2. Who was there to stop him? Congress hasn't done there jobs for so long...
they have forgotten how. The Canadian people and Mexican people are just as much in the dark over this thing. I suspect when the Canadians wake up to what Harper (a minority Govt' leader) has pulled off, there will be hell to pay.

7. Nope I protested and wrote letters, signed petitions, sent
money...voted against pro-WTO candidates. I tried to tell family but they didn't believe me. Many Americans still don't believe it.

4. This is just one of many things I wonder about lately. But again, who is
it that is allowing all this to happen? Why the Senate and the Congress of course.

We elected them to put a halt to the machinizations and schemes of the criminals in the bush** administration, they turn around and enable every unconstitutional action they take. And write them a check to accomplish their goals. And on top of that, lookie here who benefits from all the death and destruction:

Who in government has made the most money off investments?

Conflict of Interest Redefined: U.S. Politicos Invested in Iraq, Afghanistan

http://www.alternet.org/audits/81915/

Lawmakers charged with overseeing Pentagon contractors hold stock in those very firms, as do vocal critics of the war in Iraq, says the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).

Senator John Kerry, the Democrat from Massachusetts who staked his 2004 presidential bid in part on his opposition to the war, tops the list of investors. His holdings in firms with Pentagon contracts of at least five million dollars stood at between 28.9 million dollars and 38.2 million dollars as of Dec. 31, 2006. Kerry sits on the Senate foreign relations panel.

<snip>
Other top investors include Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen, a New Jersey Republican with holdings of 12.1 million - 49.1 million dollars; Rep. Robin Hayes, a North Carolina Republican (9.2 million - 37.1 million dollars); Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr. of Wisconsin (5.2 million - 7.6 million dollars); and Rep. Jane Harman, a California Democrat (2.7 million - 6.3 million dollars).

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, the Democrat and former governor of West Virginia who chairs the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, invested some 2.0 million dollars in Pentagon contractors, CRP says.

Other panel chiefs who invested in defense firms include Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the Connecticut Independent who presides over the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Rep. Howard Berman, the California Democrat who heads the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

In all, 151 current members of Congress -- more than one-fourth of the total -- have invested between 78.7 million dollars and 195.5 million dollars in companies that received defense contracts of at least 5.0 million dollars, according to CRP.

5. They have betrayed us and the future for our children.
They violated their oath of office. No group American politicans have ever been so treasonous. Shame on them. They are a gang of thugs is what you are saying.

13. I guess you are right since they have committed torture,
genocide, and enviornmental damage (murder to the earth some areas to never recover from Depleted Uranium, etc.).

16. I wasn't picking a fight. I mean, looking at their records I really can't find
words harsh enough to do them justice. I probably should have just kept my thought to myself because it surely wasn't worth offending anyone. If I did offend you, I apologize.

8. These Evil Parasites & their enablers...
Will not stop until 'We The People' rise up and make examples out of them all.

'Guts in or guts out?'

Now who would know what that question means?

11. All of the Republicans and all too many Democrats
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 12:49 PM by mac2
went along with Bush and his plans for war and removing the laws of our country (Constitution, treaties, etc.). Not one protest over Bush using our treasury for his won piggy bank. He gave billions to favored religious groups. They OK'd his bad agency heads who had violated our laws previously in Republican administrations.

Only a few even today want to support impeachment for his crimes.

12. No one is going to stop PsychoSimian, that is now painfully clear. What needs to be asked is :
how best to fix things once we're rid of him??
I'm hoping for sweeping legislation that will undo EVERYTHING he's ever done; we shall call it the BushBuster.

14. Jefferson negated Adams Sedition Act as the first
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 04:16 PM by mac2
act when he became President.

Whoever wins this next election if they are a Democrat should do the same with the Patriot Acts, FEMA legislation, Military Commissions Act, etc. Get rid of the "terrorist" and "no fly list". Stop spying on Americans without a warrant, etc. Re-declare the Constitution and Bill of Rights as the law of the land. I'd ask the Republican to the same.

Has either candidate said they would do this? If not why bother supporting or voting for them? They aren't going to be democratic leaders but part of a police state.
