I am baffled as to why some people cannot see what is going on, right in front of their eyes. While the networks dazzle and distract us with "the rocket's red glare and bombs bursting in air", "corporate America" is up to their old tricks, "picking our pockets" and robbing us blind. In case we've forgotten, before Iraq, all we ever heard from the media was the myriad of corporate scandals, from Enron to Worldcom. Now, it's Time Warner/AOL's turn, as their top 5 execs walk off with $1 billion, through illegal accounting practices and inflating stock values, etc., just like Enron and the rest. And, no surprise that the Same old companies are involved in perpetrating this crime; Citibank, Ernst & Young, Morgan Stanley, and Salomon Smith Barney, etc., and all are named in the lawsuit and SEC investigation. Over $150 billion in "corporate welfare" isn't enough for these greedy crooks! KBR, a Haliburton subsidiary, (from which, Cheney Still collects a paycheck), was awarded the 1st Iraq contract, for up to $7 billion tax dollars, and WithOut the contract ever being put up for bid!!! "Croney capitalism" rules America, Not the people! And, it's Time for the People to take America back, "by whatever means necessary"!!!
the link from the previous post should have read
www.opensecrets.org
Here's a good link if you want to find out who's buying who, in our gov't., and who the gov't. is giving all our tax dollars to. They'll even tell you how much your neighbors are contributing to whom, and which of your neighbors is getting "subsidised" by your tax dollars! www.opensecrets.org well, for some reason, i can't post links, or even list url's here, so anyway, the site is;
opensecrets dot org
they get their data from the government agencies.
An open letter to our gov't. REPRESENTATIVES,
I cannot believe that you voted for a bill which encroaches on Judicial powers, given to the judicial system, by our Constitution!! Is there no shame in the outrages this Congress decrees??!! Shame on you all; killing innocent people around the world, willy-nilly, (is Syria next?), trashing Constitutional Rights left and right, and All in the name of "Corporate greed"!!!
It would do the so-called REPRESENTATIVES of this gov't. well to read the Constitution and Bill of Rights, before things go too far. Remember, we are the descendants of our forefathers. Liberty and justice are in our blood. This is Not some "banana republic" you can run roughshod over, to make a few bucks.
The blatant "in your face" attitude of the Hitleresque regime, (and, i use the word "Hitleresque" because while bozo-Bush may have twice the insanity of Hitler, he has less than half the brains), will bring the entire world to war. And, even though this gov't. has done everything in its power to degrade the educational system and lower the average IQ of the American public, families and the internet are opening people's eyes everyday. And, everyday, more and more people are realizing that their own personal war is with those in power, and not with some foreign people, (with whom we have more in common, than with our own leaders). The chaos you create around the world and at home, is as likely to come back and bite you in the ass, as it is to work out in favor of your wallet. And, with every unConstitutional act you pass, you bring the common citizen that much closer to the "tipping point".
Either you people on Capitol hill are All scared to death of the maniac Bush, or you are All in cahoots with that war criminal! Either way, a rebellious population will have No sympathy for either.
I implore you to "Represent" Americans, and Not "corporate America", before you destroy this great nation, in the name of greed!
Sincerely,
Robert Orlando
