Patrick Henry,
"Is it true that the United States has been in a declared state of emergency since 1933? "

If you run a search on your own, you are likely to come up with something like this: or run your own search for Senate Report 93-549

Please do your own research before responding.

If the Congress gave carte blanche to the Executive branch in 1933 and has never resumed the normal, stated functioning of our government, what constitutional freedoms do we actually have? Are violations of the bill of rights all we can truly expect of a whitewashed dictatorship? Try mentioning this to your Federal representatives and see how they respond, if at all.

If our constitution has been superseded are we the people not entitled to an accounting from those who would tax us? I believe that the legitimacy of government rests on the consent of those who are governed...

Amnesty International/Good.... Bush/Evil
Amnesty is about giving a degree of dignity to humanity. Rescue of innocents. Feeding the poor. Womens rights. Freeing the wrongfully imprisoned. Stopping ethnic cleansing. Dont we need to support organizations that try to lift the human condition to a bearable level. Bush, on the other hand seems to be going the wrong way. With Bush as Commander in Chief of the Army there have been horrible crimes against humanity. The the validity of the Geneva convention has been negotiated and exceptions made. International Human rights have been disregarded as policy, not just as the error of a few. Pre-emptive strikes on empty threats and boogey men. Civil Rights Violations. Declaring war on American citizens. Imprisonment of protesters. Bombing raids on civilian targets and weddings.What do you mean Impeachment proceedings havent begun? I am disgusted we are the bad guys.
