To My Fellow Liberal-progressive Friends,
Since the reelection of George W. "Smirking Chimp" Bush things has been looking quite grim for the country. And what's sad is that his key liutentants are leaving their cabinet posts and being replaced with more hard-line, right-wing people who want to further damage the country. For our liberal-progressive brethren feel an urge to flee the country to Canada, Europe or anywhere where political leaders follow common sense. I don't blame them I would want to leave too. In the state that country is going in who would want to live in America? However, before you decide to become an expatriate and leave America for good or whenever Bush decides to leave. You would have to think : Do you have to leave your country or would you want to start questioning this tyrannical government and fight for America?
Yes , yes you maybe asking yourselves: Jabari are you crazy? Why do I want to stay in America when in the second Bush term he will repress my rights further ? I want to Canada or France, Germany, etc. where they have better health care and better human rights and politicians who have some common sense ? My answer to you is no, I am not crazy . Although in Canada and Europe have universal health care and all the goodies that this country should have and common sense laws leaving the country does not solve the problem. I ask that we on the liberal-progressive side to stay and fight because there are more of us out there than the amount of Bush supporters.
The Bush supporters are mostly contain large corporate interests and the number of billionaires whose influence, money and power helps them get whatever regulation that hinders their greed get their way.
The people in America vastly outnumber the Bush supporters. If we come together and pasionately fight and keep fighting against the huge secrecy we can finally beat Bush and his ilk in their games.
In these dark times that America faces its imperative that the people together and united to get the Smirking Chimp and their idiot nation of suck ups and kissasses out of office. We need to think in the here and now and next election. We cannot focus just on the 2008 Presidental Election nor we can't look to Hillary Clinton (sorry guys! :D) as our saivour to change things around. We can not also look at the Republicans that possibly would split up be cause of the neoconservative faction of the group that wants to get rid of the more moderate Republicans. We could wait for this mutiny to happen but time is not on our side . We have to move now.
The next major election that we need to look is the 2006 midterm elections. The '06 midterm election is an very important because this is where the new Congress the 110th Congress can have a Democratic majority. By having this huge victory we can keep the new Bush administration on notice and in check. So just leaving the country just would not solve anything . The Bush Crime family would see this as an easy opportunity to take over without any opposition from the people. (Did anybody tell you that running away never solves problems?)
Yes, staying here it sucks big time. I feel like this the absolute arrogance and power that Bush has to piss on the world would lead to Bush's and his ilk's self destruction. If no one is here to fight viciously against it would lead to America's and possibly the World's self-destruction. I know that the people who do not like the Bush Administration feel powerless and helpless to do something because Bush and his cronies are so powerful.
You are not powerless, you have the power to change direction of the country. If you care enough and don't like how things are you would want to do something about it. Abandoning your country in helping your fellow citizens in need in these dire times states that you do not care about your country. Its a guilt trip but I feel that its important to save our country in the best way we can.
So please don't leave U.S.
Your Concerned Friend,
Jabari Caughman
