The Campaign To
UPROOT BUSH IN 2004

BUT MONEY CAN'T BUY EVERYTHING. MONEY WILL NOT STOP AN EFFECTIVE GRASSROOTS EFFORT TO VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE.

Those members of Congress who voted for GOP sponsored tax cuts and spending bills that unnecessarily interfered with, and disrupted, the nation's revenue streams must be held accountable for it.

Now is the time to make up lists of the offending incumbents, name names, publish lists, and aggressively campaign at local levels to ensure the same offenders do not return to Congress and to the White House to continue carrying out their devastating agenda.

The nation cannot not stand another two, four or six years of GOP controlled legislation which undermines the nation's economic stability and causes Americans to lose faith in their leaders.

George Bush and his White House crowd talk of extending their tax cuts despite the nation's fiscal deterioration, leaving the rest of us to guess whether they are motivated primarily by knee-jerk tax-cut ideology or primarily by the urge to enrich their plutocrat cronies.

Whatever their motivations, in 2002 and 2004 they must be replaced by credible leaders.

Time is of the essence for reasonable people to take back control of our government.

1. Recently Bush defined himself, and his presidency, by turning his back on career EPA employees who authored a far ranging overview of how global warming will drastically affect the United States over the next half century by calling them "bureaucrats."

2. Since taking office, Bush has dismantled environmental safeguards within and without the United States ensuring drastic, deadly, consequences for the world's population for centuries to come.

3. Bush failed to safeguard the United States against terrorists.

4. By increasing defense spending well beyond the needs of the country, Bush has tied up valuable resources that should be used to meet the needs of millions of desperately poor Americans who rely upon social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other federally funded social programs to survive.

5. Bush has violated the law by refusing to cooperate with a Congressional investigation and comply with a federal subpoena into his dealings with Enron and the effect of those dealings upon America's energy policy.

6. Bush has failed to provide leadership in foreign affairs.

7. Bush has earned the disrespect of America's allies through incompetence and inexperience - in particular, he has shown indifference to the plight of Muslims in favor of the State of Israeli, to the chagrin and horror of the Arab world.

8. Bush has displayed an aimlessness when called upon to solve critical issues confronting the economic stability of the United States.

9. Bush has refused to be forthcoming about his insider energy dealings and his family's connections to defense contractors, resorting to requiring his cabinet officers to run interference for him instead of stepping up to the plate and assuming full responsibility for his administration's failures and lack of ethics in its dealings.

10. Bush has repeatedly demonstrated that he is puppet of big business. Bush is a pawn of, and at the disposal of, the nation's wealthiest citizens.

"As George W. Bush knows, it is impossible to serve two mistresses, i.e., catering to the wishes of the nation's  wealthiest, while ignoring the needs of the nation's neediest, poorest, sickest, the underprivileged, the children, and the senior citizens."
