2. Yes, Very Frustrating - I Have Not Enough Energy Or Time
To do justice to their injustice.

We need more hands to make a dent in their corruption.

3. It's hard to believe, but completely true! It's Horrible.

Everyone is expendable, except those who "decide" who is expendable, and then protect themselves from any kind of responsibility, while they build seige fortifications out of our tax money, and float in a sea of "freebie" cream, which they didn't earn, especially as things "go south" for so many people in this time of cuts "to anyone but me" policy drivers.

4. How corrupt are they?
(remember the Match Game?)

* is simply exhausting. Every morning, my husband and I wake up, look at one another and say "what will the gleeful murderer do today?" My hubby is convinced * is nuts. Especially the past few days, he has said some things that make us just plain embaressed for him. He just has to be nuts.

Quick! Call your Senators and Congress members! Invoke the 25th! * is falling deeper into maddness!

5. Because that is true
people need to identify what are the "weak links" in the administration's chain of criminal behaviors. Then apply as much pressure there as possible.

An important thing that I have noticed is that many people have become discouraged since the November election. We need to regain our faith in the "good fight." We can accomplish our goals.

6. I feel like I've fallen down a rabbit hole.
It's amazing. Every day I continue to be amazed at what our media & fellow citizens let these criminals get away with.

It's like a bad acid trip.

8. This is the problem I found fighting city hall at a local level. I kept
digging up the stuff as fast as it took to get the materials, but then, so what? Where could you go to fix the problem? No where. You couldn't even run against them because the local area has their own media outlets. i.e. H.O.A. newsletters and local newspapers which endorse the status quo.

So that brings up an interesting question. What is the statute of limitations to go after a man who abuses the office of the presidency once he's out of office? Let's say it takes us until 2008 to regain enough seats in the Congress. Can they go back retroactively to demand justice? Well, that's assuming Lieberman isn't party leader of the Senate.
