The Quest For Peace

Peaceful Protest in January 2007!




Who holds the key to Peace? Will this war ever go away? What caused this war? Why did Bush lie about Weapons of Mass Destruction? What is up with Bush wanting to control everyone and their freedoms? Who are the truth seekers? Why does the richiest country in the world not have universal health care for the millions of people that can not go see a doctor? Why in 2007 are gays and lesbians still discriminated against? What really happened on 9/11? Why aren't the volunteers from 9/11 being treated for their illnesses? Why does Bush want to attack Iran? What did they do? Who are the terrorists and where are they? Why does Bush want a wall around the borders of Mexico? Isn't this the land of opportunity? What's going on? I think Marvin Gaye best said it in his song "What's Going On?" ...War is not the answer...only Love can conquer Hate...






There are so many questions and not enough answers and people are getting fed up. People are tired of the lies that Bush and his croonies are spreading around the world and many people from different parts of the world are getting tired of this. Most people are concerned about the future and what is going to happen and many people I have spoken to think Bush is going to try and remain President by getting us into another war! It's time to speak how you feel, whether or not you you want to or not! Our freedoms are being taken away slowly, but it's happening right now! Eventually it's going to get to the point that if we say anything about Bush or the war, we will be silenced. Rupert Murdoch practically owns the media and controls most of what we see and hear. Look what happened to The Dixie Chicks, Madonna, Charlie Sheen, and Rosie O'Donnell just to name a few! They just spoke how they felt. They didn't threaten the President or America, they just spoke up about how they feel and it's their right as an American.



Then you have people like Bill O'Reilly who criticize people who speak out against the war and Bush. He calls them Un-American! Well I don't support the war or Bush, and I am very patriotic. I have friends and family over seas in a bloody war and I love them dearly. Just because we don't want war or like our leader doesn't mean we are monsters! Jesus Christ would not approve of this and would be very upset if he were here. Jesus would want us to find peace and a solution to the world's problems by not using violence and by using our brains! When you have a problem with someone you don't kill them do you? Most people sit down and talk about their problems right? But then again some people want to fight, and apparently that's what kind of leader we have. It's very sad to see that a man who has had a silver spoon in his mouth all his life become President! Bush has never once had to go hungry, never once had to go without health care, and never had to be in the line of fire! Bush is not a minority so he doesn't know what it is like to be a Mexican, Gay, Black or a Woman. But, he claims to be a Christian? Most Christians I know are loving, warm, welcoming people and do not support violence.

How many innocent men, women and children have been killed by war? The answer is too many and for what? I truly believe Bush wants to control the middle east for his own personal profit. After all, the Bush's are one of the world's most wealthiest families! Many people think Al Gore won the election back in 2000, and he probably did. One state held the key, the state of Florida. Baby Bush's brother, Jeb, happened to be the Governor of the state. Hmmmmm, makes you wonder!

I just watched the film 'Sicko' and 'Farenheit 9/11' by Michael Moore and thank God for people like him. We have people that seek truth and want a better world! What's so wrong with trying to help out everyone? What's so wrong with universal Health Care? I tell you what, if you ever get cancer you will be wanting it if you don't have insurance! It really bothers me that the HMO's deny people their health insurance and their medicine and that elderly people have to choose between their food and their groceries! That is bullshit and it should not be like that! I wouldn't mind paying extra taxes for basic health care. Because then I would know every single American had it! Didn't Christ say "Love thy neighbour as you would yourself"? Well in this country we all our neighbours and we should want to help everyone out. We shouldn't have to this only in a catastrophe, but we should be doing this all the time! But, Nixon's plan was foul from the beginning, he was only in it for the money!!

So what's going to happen before January 20, 2009? I know many people that want Bush impeached and tried for war crimes. Will that happen? Probably not, he is way too powerful and it is unfortunate that we still have another year and a half of this lunacy! I think if you want a better tomorrow then we have to start today. I have written the Senators, the Presidential Candiates, Congress, the newspapers. We have to start working together to get the problem solved in a peaceful way. Some of my closest friends that are Republicans want Bush out! One of my friends told me that he is going to D.C. to speak in a few weeks about impeaching Bush and Cheney! He is fed up and says Bush has gave Republicans a bad name. The only thing that still surprises me is that people still think he is a Godsend. I don't care who the President were, a Democrat or Republican, and if he or she acted like Bush did I would not support them no matter which party I belonged to!

I think everyone deserves rights, and thank God for people like Jesse Jackson, Harry Belafonte, Rosie O'Donnell, Cindy Sheehan, Madonna, The Dixie Chicks, Elizabeth Montgomery, Michael Moore, etc... All these people have spoken out against various things: War, Civil Rights, Gay Rights, Women's Rights, Basic Health Care, etc...
If it weren't for these people, we may not have some of the basic freedoms we have today! Which brings me back to the beginning again, our freedoms are being violated! I don't see why people will be arrested for a War Protest as long as it is peaceful and there is no violence and most people who want peace are non-violent! I know two of my Sociology Profesors believe things are going to get worse before they get better, and I do believe that. I think the Patriot Act has done more harm than good and I think it's another way of Bush controlling his sheep. The listening in on phone conversations is one of the biggest violations of the 1st Amendment and when you use fear people will do just about anything you want!

In case you don't know much about the Amendments here is what the 1st Amendment practically says to our citizens!

The First Amendment was ratified on December 15, 1791. The Amendment states:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So what if the press, the churches, and the Government is all ran by the same people? People who do not want to help each other, people who are greedy, people who want war and will use anything to get what they want, people who are power hungry, etc...
Basically that is what is happening now, Murdoch owns most of the media and controls what we see, hear and read and doesn't want the U.S. citizens to know what is going on in the country! Well I for one, am just fed up and I hope Bush and Cheney and the whole crew get impeached, if not one day they will be held accountable and the Higher Power will see to it they get their just rewards!

Why I am fed up with Bush and his cohorts!

Freedom of Speech, many of us have always thought we had this, but here lately it seems Government is taking over and arresting people for saying things against Bush!! Times are a changing and not for the better... This decade has went from GREAT 2000 to BLAH 2002 to HORRIBLE 2007 and God only knows what the last 2 years will hold if and when Baby Bush gets out of office!! I don't see him going quitely though...I predict another depression or deep recession, Bush will attack Iran in 2008 and finally I feel Bush will want to declare the Marshall Law or Act and remain President... God forbid, this happen, but we as Americans must do something! IF you dislike Bush as much as I do, then write your senators, protest the war, March to DC... state how you feel, because they can not silence us!! Just because we speak about how we feel doesn't make us Un-American! That's why our founding fathers had the first ammendment that guarantees freedom of Speech!!

Draft?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush’s new war adviser said Friday.
“I think it makes sense to certainly consider it,” Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.”
“And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. But ultimately, this is a policy matter between meeting the demands for the nation’s security by one means or another,” Lute added in his first interview since he was confirmed by the Senate in June.
President Nixon abolished the draft in 1973. Restoring it, Lute said, would be a “major policy shift” and Bush has made it clear that he doesn’t think it’s necessary.

I found this on www.rosie.com so I think it's time America comes together and kicks Bush and Cheney out on their arses!!

10 Reasons to Impeach Bush And Cheney!!

Ten Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney
I ask Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:

1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.

2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.

4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.

5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.

6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.

7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.

8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.

9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.

Impeach Bush and Cheney!!

Hi Everyone, I am sick and tired of this current Administration and the lunacy of this war and Bush wanting to attack other countries. He is the most idiotic man I have ever heard speak and I want him Impeached ASAP!! He has lied numerous times about complete and utter bullshit!! I have family and friends that have been killed in a war that is not necessary and I feel it is my obligation to do something about this monster that people support! He is another Hitler! Here is a website I found on www.rosie.com that you can sign up to get those 2 morons impeached! I feel if Americans don't stand up to this monster that he will declare some sort of Marshall Law and remain President for another 4 years attacking Iran and God only knows what other countries!! This is crazy!! Thousands of innocent men, women, and children have been slaughtered in the name of George W. Bush! And I for one am sick of this!! And I won't just sit here and do nothing!! Now that SOB is trying to outlaw protests against the war and the people that speak out about the war are criticized and ridiculed!! Why is it the Churches support this monster?? Would Christ condone such violence? I think not!! It's time we as Americans and as the World step up and get these monsters out of office!! I am tired of seeing my fellow Americans coming home in body bags and losing limbs to the atrocities of this stupid War, which was uncall for! If for some reason that monster tries to declare the Marshall Law and remain President for 4 more years, I believe there will be a civil war!!

If you dislike Bush and Cheney as much as I do, go to this site and impeach their sorry asses.. they sure as hell haven't done anything for this country, but lie, cheat and steal and send thousands of Americans to their deaths!!

Just look at what all has happened in the last 7 years: Gas prices have soared, people are starving, wages aren't going up, people can not afford their homes, another depression is luring! It's time to speak out and now if people protest they face the possibility of being arrested... Pray for our troops, they are the brave ones! God Bless America...America needs a Change!!
