George W. Bush has declared that he's gonna do what he's gonna do and dared the country to stop him. Many of us realized in December 2000 that he had seized power in a superficially legalized coup d'etat. All that we predicted then has come to pass. Suppression of civil liberties, war, economic depression, right-wing judicial appointments, and now it culminates in an open, blatant assertion of executive power to override the Constitution as he sees fit. Dear friends, Caesar has crossed the Rubicon.
The people of Rome were not able to save their republic 2100 years ago. It falls upon us, right now, to follow through on the new paradigm inserted into the world by the signers of the Declaration of 7-4-76. It falls upon us now to save this republic and its Constitution. Every issue you care about depends on it. Nothing else matters now.
"There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government."
