It looks like George Orwell is only about 11 years off with his novel "1984". A
fascist, totalitarian state is already begining to form in what was once known
as the "land of the free". Now that expression to describe America is a joke.
The men in Washington want to take away our rights of religious freedoms,
freedom of the press, freedom to free association, freedom to defend ourselves,
freedom from a police state, and the soverginity of the states in order to
achive all encompsing control over us, the common men (and women!)

To add even more atrocity to this situation, they want to use the tradgedy of
the Okalahoma City bombing as a rallying cry to pass these "laws", and I use
the term law in the loosest possible form.

This fascist takeover of our country is not a Republican thing or a Democrating
thing. It is being caused by a group of power-hungry people in Washington who
want to take away our basic and fundamental rights in the name of "safety" so
it will be easier for them to control us.

And what are we doing about this? NOTHING! We just keep electing the same
people with the same fascist agendas and then we watch our nightly sitcoms.
Something has to be done in order to stop this downwad spiral to fasicsm.
Something NON-VIOLENT though. There has to be a wau to stop this slide through
the electoral process.

Something to think about.
