Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Outrageous Claim by an Outrageous Administration

In arguments in court yesterday, the G. W. Bush administration essentially argued that its program of spying on American citizens is beyond judicial review. The link below will take you to a pertinent New York Times article. (Registration may be required.)

This program, along with the vast increase in George Bush ("Jr.") signing statements, indicates an un-Constitutional administration. The time to be rid of this regime is now. This must be done non-violently. The way to do it is by convincing the American people that this administration is against its best interests. Then we must exert political pressure on elected officials and demand that the media report fairly and honestly on what is going on in this regard.

With global warming already a serious problem, and with huge spikes in energy and materials costs, the time for inaction is gone. Let us not be like deer with their eyes transfixed by the car headlights. I encourage everyone to become informed, then join with others to organize for a just and sustainable world.
