Your government, on the basis of outrageous
lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with
other countries in their sights.
Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
Your government puts people in jail on the
merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them
indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
Your government suppresses the science that
doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing
present and future generations to pay a terrible price.
Your government is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.
Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
People look at all this and think of Hitler ( and
they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically
remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to
come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.
Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and
outraged by this. They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this
outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the
enormity of the challenge, and people sense this.
There is not going to be some magical "pendulum
swing." People who steal elections and believe they're on a "mission
from God" will not go without a fight.
There is not going to be some savior from the
Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies
into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and
religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually
serves to demobilize people.
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable.
That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn (
or be forced ( to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous
course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the
responsibility to do it.
And there is a way. We are talking about something
on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in
the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time,
constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim
to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is
repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the
whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our
millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of
history.
Acting in this way, we join with and give support
and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want
this regime to be stopped.
This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they
will try to silence us. If we act, they will try to stop us. But we
speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this
going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly
fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.
The point is this: history is full of examples where
people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and
were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively
hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what
they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.
The World Can't Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
