The George W. Bush administration
must not be allowed to have control of our government for another four years.
A few of my reasons for taking this position follow.
They have shown gross mismanagement and extremely dangerous
policies and practices by (not necessarily in order of importance):
- Dismantling
environmental protection previously put in place, unilaterally abrogating
negotiated International treaties, and ignoring clear and present
environmental dangers such as global warming.
- Attacking
Iraq
without justification and lying to support their policy, dragging down the
economy and sacrificing over 1,000 young lives and creating far more
terrorists with far more motivation than they have eliminated by the so
called “War on Terror”.
- Giving
40% of their tax break to the top 1% of the
population and 17% to the bottom 60%.
- Mismanagement
of the economy to take the nation from a budget surplus to the largest
deficit of all time.
- Operating
a foreign policy based on the belief that we have
a “calling” to spread a brand of fundamentalist Christian western style
democracy throughout the world
- Attempting
to divert the American peoples attention from the
issues in this campaign by creating Vietnam
service scandal for John Kerry.
- Undercutting
government funding (through “privatization” and “faith based” programs) of
health care and Social Security programs and saddling future generations
with enormously high levels of debt service.
