Yearning for change

Sent June, 2007

In the 2006 election Americans said they want change. The President stubbornly refuses to change and Congress’s actions are thwarted. The Senate Republicans vote not to vote using the cloture rule. When a bill to stop the war or to advance medicine passes both the House and Senate, Bush vetoes it. When the Attorney General politizes the Justice Department, Bush says, “heck of a job.” Congress issues subpoenas and Bush says, “it’s my way or the highway.” The Vice President uses tortured logic to keep his secrets secret from those who are responsible for protecting secrets. The 2008 elections are the only hope for restarting the democratic process that has been wrecked during the last six years.
