WE HAVE THE POWER!

        Former Governor of Vermont, Howard Dean, gave a stump rattling speech formally announcing his candidacy for president. As thermometers rose above 90 degrees, thousands filled the streets around the Burlington Marketplace surrounding the podium to hear him speak.

        Even more thousands tuned in via their computers or joined together to listen at Meet-Up Groups. Most agree that Dean has captured the attention of those who want to send Bush back to Texas permanently. Now it remains to see if he can capture the money.

        We are being reminded constantly by the media that Bush is going around the country picking up millions of dollars at each stop. He gives a speech that proclaims his conquest of two countries to payback terrorists for 9/11. When asked the cost of these junkets to the taxpayer, Ari said the data was "unavailable."

        The media is nearly solidly behind Bush, hanging on his every word and eliminating any of his many gaffes from their glowing reports while endlessly replaying those of the Democratic candidates. The media moguls will be well paid for their support as the Bush election junta inundates the broadcast and print media with political ads, pouring millions into their coffers.

        With a blitzkrieg of propaganda, the Bush campaign believes it can continue to pull the biggest snow job in history on the American voters.

        Revisionist history, like that shown in the coming movie about Bush, will be used to cloud what really happened on and following 9/11. The Bush campaign will seek to make voters forget that:

        Ø Only days after the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration was connecting Saddam and Osama. It was laying the groundwork for an Iraqi invasion.

        Ø It suppressed a report of the 9/11 investigation.

        Ø It weighted the intelligence on Iraq toward showing WMD.

        Ø It claimed an Iraqi nuclear program.

        Ø It lied to American voters and the world about necessity of Iraq war.

        Ø It continuously hyped up the terrorist threat to keep voters unbalanced.

        Ø It has precipitated a Vietnam-like quagmire in Iraq.

        Ø It covered up the ever-worsening plight of women in Afghanistan and Iraq.

        Ø It buried portions of EPA reports on global warming.

        Ø It is lobbying Congress to make it easier for federally funded religious groups to base hiring decisions on a candidate's religion/sexual preference.

        Ø It claims that its diligence is keeping us safe but when something goes wrong it blames others such as the CIA, the UN or Clinton.

        Is there a breakthrough coming? Signs are that slowly but surely the Internet freedom-writers are having an effect on the mainstream media. The pundits cannot continue to ignore the noxious odors forever as the weight of Bush lies are close to becoming a critical mass. signups@lists.jointhebushwhackers.com

        Concerned voters must contribute to this explosion of truth and make reality a real shock and awe for those who have intentionally deceived America and the rest of the world. Everyone can write, phone or fax Congressional Reps and make continuous noise unto the lord-media.

        MOVE ONThe media must start reporting that Bush and his cronies misrepresented the reasons for invading Iraq and keep harping on it. The only way to beat the Republicans is to re-engage voters in the election process and to convince them that their vote is vital. http://www.moveon.org

        What Bush has been doing is an impeachable offense but remember that Republicans control both houses of Congress. They will not vote to impeach. The power we have is in our unity and passion to communicate this administration's perfidy to others and TOGETHER vote the Bushites out.

        Will Bush be allowed to purchase another election with million$ of international corporate blood money? Rush Limbaugh tells us that Bush is loved and trusted by Americans. Common sense tells us that is untrue.

        And so do the polls that show that Bush does not have a majority of voters that want him to have a second term. He still has a majority in popularity so it follows that even some of them are beginning to distrust him.
