Bush's law threatens everyone

It seems that President Bush and his cronies have become the world's foremost terrorists by signing into law the ability to declare anyone an "enemy of the state" and a "terrorist" and locking them away and torturing them without any recourse or appeal.

Don't think this involves only those held at Guantanamo or other secret prisons overseas. This could be you, if they don't like the things you say or do. In fact, you don't even have to do anything. They just have to say that you are a terrorist or supporter and you disappear.

The Bush administration is becoming more like that in the movie "V for Vendetta" every day. If you haven't seen this movie, you must.

The Bush league runs us on fear. They do what they want without any problems because "we the sheeple" are to scared to stand up and take them on. It is your right as an American citizen to protest and make change.

It is time to stand up to the Republicans and oust the scoundrels. For the good of America, for the protection of our rights under the Constitution, we must, absolutely must, get out and vote.

America is dying, friends. Where are the strong, free Americans like the ones who built this nation?
