Why we must indict George W. Bush
The Republican Party has a long and honorable history. Representing those who believed in local governance, low taxes, and individual rights, the GOP built a fund of respect and trust we relied on. NeoCons used the accumulated honor of the GOP to steal from all of us, canceling the Constitution and shredding our economy and our rights.
There was a time when the GOP stood for the founding principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence. Republicans accepted the Constitution as the rules binding government, leaving us to exercise our individual freedoms.
The GOP was, for such men as Barry Goldwater, the means for taking those same values into the future.
It can be again.
I was raised Republican. I grew up hearing my father talk about the need to ensure that women have the same opportunities as men; that all wars fought be just. He taught me to look back with pride to ancestors who turned Republican to oppose slavery and for women's suffrage. He taught me to honor my conscience and live a life I would be proud to report to God.
The at was changed by the same people who sent us into unjust wars for their own profit, who used our trust to steal America blind over the last decades.
Today the GOP is a morass of opportunists. Such men as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, and others sell the rhetoric of individual rights, freedom, and responsible behavior, for cash, living the ethics of greed.
My friends have urged me to reregister Democrat. That I will never do. Too much of my family invested their lives, hopes and dreams for me to walk away. Their dead voices urge me to a very different course. They urge me to do all within my power to take the GOP back to its roots as the voice and hand of justice for all Americans. They would remind me that responsible people shoot their own rabid dog.
It was my father who taught me you cannot responsibly leave hazards to the welfare of others behind. "Clean it up," my father would say.
We need to purge the GOP of the human trash who have used its power to deceive, steal, pollute, and destroy the freedom and wealth of Americans. Up to the office of the presidency we must have justice. We must demand accountability.
As it exists today the Republican Party is the enemy, a danger to all it means to be an American. Therefore we must take it back and see that those who misused its power are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
You will hear voices that urge you to ignore the past and fight the present administration's policies, which are horrendous. But I say to you that you first put your feet on a firm foundation. Until we have demanded that the guilty be prosecuted and cleaned our own house we have no place to stand. Stand with me. Demand indictments.
The big government Democrats now in charge will be reluctant to create precedents that will bind them, too. We will hammer them into action clearing the way for us to realize the promise that made us Republicans and Americans.
Here is a list of the guilty. Write to these officials demanding they do their duty, investigate, indict, and convict. Email us a copy of your letter and sign our Real Republican List.
It can be done. We will have cleansed our Party and it will be a new day for freedom and for the Republican Party.
