Ever since Bush took office he has hacked away at individual rights that the Constitution guarantees
Americans.Together, Bush and Ashcroft tear up the Freedom of Information Act, they detain people
without charging them with a crime, and with Norton's help along with W's big business appointments
to Environment, W, Norton and their corporate friends tear up the Clean Air Act and fail
to protect Americans from other environmental hazards. Just recently, W cut funds to clean up
toxic waste in the US. In the past, Bush even had the gall to strike down laws that would
protect workers at work.

And those noxious fumes from Bush's rear end float around the world, creating anger and
frustration with his announcement that he would imposed tariffs on foreign steel and lumber. Last week,
the foul fumes from W 's rear end reached a peak when he told the Palestinians people that they had better
elect a leader that has the seal of approval of W, our Wannabe Dictator. Or else!

W's tyranny is so wicked that he declares that the United States withdraws support
from the International Criminal Court which may threaten United Nations peace-keeping efforts.
Have you ever seen a US President act with such arrogance and ignorance?

By nature, George W. Bush is a destructive man. Because of his tax breaks to the wealthy,
the United States wallows in debt and investors will no longer have confidence in our crooked
financial system once it sinks in that the Bush-Cheney team are as crooked as Wall Street crooks.
As Paul Krugman notes in his OP-Ed article in today's New York Times ,
when Bush Junior was a member of the audit committee and board of directors at
Harken Energy, W sold two-thirds of HIS shares b4 the public knew Harken was
in financial trouble and W let 34 weeks
pass b4 he notified the SEC of his stock sale!

"though only a few weeks before bad news that could not be concealed caused Harken's shares
to tumble - Mr. Bush sold off two-thirds of his stake, for $848,000. Just for the record, that's about four
times bigger than the sale that has Martha Stewart in hot water. Oddly, though the law requires prompt
disclosure of insider sales, he neglected to inform the S.E.C. about this transaction until 34 weeks had
passed. An internal S.E.C. memorandum concluded that he had
broken the law, but no charges were filed. This, everyone insists, had
nothing to do with the fact that his father was president. "

The above is an excerpt from the article, "Everyone is Outraged."

TP, these are depressing times for Americans. I hope that, on your vacation, you can forget about
the hardships that Bush has brought not only to Americans but to the rest of the world.
