from the NY Times:

“President Bush broke the law and lied to the American people when he unilaterally authorized secret wiretaps of U.S. citizens,” said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. “But rather than focus on this constitutional crisis, Attorney General Gonzales is cracking down on critics of his friend and boss. Our nation is strengthened, not weakened, by those whistle-blowers who are courageous enough to speak out on violations of the law.”

What’s frequently “overlooked” is that this spying is exactly what Hitler, Stalin and other dictators did. It’s what dictators have to do to remain in power. And now our President is doing that and telling us to trust him. After all that’s been exposed… trust this guy that still says “Saddam wouldn’t let the inspectors in”?!

This is madness, this idiot puppet “President” is blatantly assuming dictatorial powers (for his neocon masters)… where are America’s leaders? Where are all those “Leaders” in Congress, it’s like they’re all afraid or something….

What we need is Patriotic Americans in several large cities to start protesting, people willing to stay as long as it takes. These one day protests are just not cutting it. Time to camp out in numbers. Is freedom worth it?

I’ve been trying to start a Protest in DC the week before the SOTU
Cindy Sheehan has called for a Protest in DC at the SOTU Jan 31st
World Can’t wait is organizing a march for that weekend, Feb 4th.
Katrina Survivors are going to DC FEb 8-9th just $50 a ticket

Why not just combine them all, start showing up before the SOTU, and stay right on thru Feb until this cabal is ousted? If only someone would pony up some cash for tent housing, then they could afford to stay.
