Read 'em and don't weep

TAKE ACTION. Here's something you can do to help enlighten the unaware. Go HERE, vote for the ad you believe is most effective, and then send the link to as many people as you can.

The ads are reproduced here, for your convenience:









What do you do, who do you appeal to, when your government has lost all integrity? The Patriot Act was put into play while everyone was too stunned to realize how UNpatriotic it actually is. The "Patriot Act" is a tool that is being used to gather PRIVATE, protected information from the citizenry.

THIS IS WRONG, even if the government claims it's essential to protect all Americans from terrorism. America was founded on principles of freedom, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights has existed and grown stronger over the years in order to protect even more freedoms and level the playing field.

The Bush Reich is dissolving the line between private and public, as if we were subjects under a totalitarian state that claims all power and all rights.

The Bush Reich has blown away the boundary between church and state by funding "religious" (read: Christian) programs that reward celibacy under the pretense of sex education. This is not the government's business.

I just discovered that the Bush Reich is also funding special HUD housing programs that serve "faith-based and other community-based organizations." Where is the housing for the homeless heathens? Who will fund programs that will allow mortgage or other housing programs for recovering addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes and the mentally ill? According to THIS, " ...CFBCI is committed to helping fulfill President Bush's vision of mobilizing the armies of compassion to strengthen America's communities."
All of this is hubris, not compassion; fearmongering, not protecting.
