Imagine that Bush, Cheney and the far right consolidate
power through their use of a permanent state of war, supported
politically by corporate dollars. All three branches of our national
government are in their hands.
Imagine the nightmare scenario. We know we'll see tax cuts for the
rich and for corporations -- they're already lining up. With the Bush
administration's bankrupt economic policy, can we expect a recovery?
What about environmental protections, a woman's right to choose, and
social security? With the total embrace of pre-emptive, unilateral war,
will we enter an era of American wars? With Ashcroft unleashed, what
will happen to political opposition and even the right to speech?
Would you be surprised if Jeb Bush is President in 2008?
Americans are rightfully suspicious of alarmist talk. In general, we
live fairly comfortable lives. We believe in moderation. "Things
will be OK." It pains me to say that if we don't act, things simply
may NOT be OK.
America has faced down threats from the right before. Our great
democratic traditions -- of checks and balances and of free and open
debate -- have always come to our rescue. And the moderate, common
sense soul of our citizens has always countered the overreaching
ambitions of the greedy few. We will win again. We will wake up
from this nightmare. But you must help.
It's crucial that we do all we can to keep the Senate from falling
into right wing hands. Control of the Senate will be decided in just
a few tight races. We've brought them together and made it easy for
you to give, at:
