Why We Must Vote Against ALL Incumbents On November 7
The United States of America was defined by four pieces of paper, the U.S. Constitution. Most of that document defined our government, but a small part of it defined the American Petople, by granting them specific, precious, and utterly essential Rights if this is to be regarded as a free country at all.
President Bush and the U.S. Congress took those rights away from us on the morning of October 17, 2006. Why didn't you hear about it in the news? Like Padme said in Star Wars when Palpatine became emporer (as an emergency measure in time of war only, of course), "So this is how liberty dies. To thunderous applause."
The American press DID report on this. But this is how our corporate news media informed citizens of the former United States about it. The media merely repeated whatever words George W. Bush spoke to describe it, much like the propaganda bullhorn of a totalitarian nation serves no other purpose than to publicize whatever the dictator says.
To hide their cowardice, the press dutifully included one tiny paragraph toward the bottom, quoting the ACLU's warning that this law eliminates habeas corpus, allows unlimited detention of American citizens without charge, allows torture, and allows the President to authorize the execution of any U.S. citizen based upon hearsay evidence derived during torture. But even this quote failed to mention that this law transforms President Bush into a dictator. It also failed to mention that this law grants President Bush amnesty from prosecution for war crimes--a truly unique, God-like status.
If President Bush went certifiably insane today, he could technically order the imprisonment and execution of EVERY American citizen without charge, and there is no longer any legal basis to stop him. Before October 17, 2006, we had the Bill of Rights to stop him. But not after October 17.
Meanwhile, our Congress, which our Founders empowered with checks and balances against executive power, is the very institution that gave this supreme power to the Commander in Chief. Why? Because the cowards we sent to Washington to represent us were more terrified of appearing "soft" on terrorism, and thus losing re-election, than they were of seeing the republic destroyed.
I know of no immediate solution to this catastrophe, since President Bush has been granted supreme power in America. The only thing I can say is that 300 million people outnumber our elected representatives, and the only conceivable way to remind our Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of this fact is to vote against ALL incumbents in the November elections.
Yes, I am urging the American People to vote again every single incumbent in this country on November 7. Even the so-called "good" ones. Why? Because nothing short of a complete replacement of those up for re-election will remind those who are not up for election that the American People are sovereign in this nation. If even one incumbent wins re-election in November, every elected official who remains will assume that they have a chance of winning when their re-election arrives, and they will continue the un-American work they have been doing for the past five years.
Moreover, replacing every single office-holder that is up for re-election will remind the corporate-controlled news media that it too exists to serve the American People, not the profit motives of corporate America.
Five years. That's all it took to completely dismantle the framework that defined the United States of America. The American Revolution itself took eight years to earn our freedom. It took only five years for us to lose all that, and to succumb to an even more powerful tyranny than the one our Founders freed us from.
This is serious, folks, The November elections are already decided, even before you vote. Computer programs have scientifically gerrymandered districts with such accuracy that the Republicans already know the outcome of the November elections, in the absence of something totally unexpected, such as every voter voting against ALL incumbants. Congress has passed legislation making it difficult or impossible for many poor American citizens to register or to vote. Diebold and other electronic voting machines, which are easily corrupted, and which leave no paper trail to be audited, and which are owned by companies that donate to the Republican party, throw the very concept of "fair elections" into the dark void, unless voters exercise their power by voting against every single incumbent in the land. No exceptions.
It doesn't matter if you vote for a member of the same party as the incumbent. This isn't about replacing one party or the other in Congress. It's about replacing the individuals in Congress. The point is that every incumbent that is up for re-election in November must receive precisely ZERO votes, if our government officials are to finally get the message that We The People are sovereign, and we will not quietly sit by while our rightful inheritance as a nation is usurped by wealthy and powerful cowards who cave in to the demands of a power-hungry president.
Vote against ALL incumbents in November. Period. No exceptions. There is absolutely no other way to send an undeniably powerful message to our government and corporate-controlled news media in November. Vote against every single one of them.
If you think your district's incumbents are "good", and should remain, then consider this. If they are truly "good", then they will understand that the American People are sovereign, and that voting against ALL incumbents is the only way for us to unequivocally demonstrate that sovereignty. In other words, if they are truly "good", they will want us to vote them out of office. If they don't understand that, then they do not understand how the American system works, and by definition, they are not qualified for the job after all. Losing their job is the sacrifice they must make to save this country. Losing one's congressional job is a lot less of a sacrifice than the lives we've lost in Iraq, the hundreds of thousands of life-supporting jobs and pensions that are lost each year in America, or the liberty we lost when President Bush signed the Military Commission Act on October 17, 2006.
Please, as if the future of the United States depended on it, spread the word to every voter in the land: Vote against ALL incumbents on November 7, without a single exception.And be sure to refer everyone you know to www.vaai.org, so that they might consider the reasons why this is so vitally important for themselves.
All the best,
