Open yo' mouth
by Richard Hart
It's hard to know where to start with the case against George W. Bush: The dismissal of terrorism before 9/11 and failure to effectively fight it since; the deception that brought us to war and the cost in lives and money of failing to prepare for the aftermath; tax cuts for the rich creating astounding deficits for our children to pay; the sell-out of the public interest to corporate ones in the environment, health, media and more; the assault on civil liberties and gay and women's rights; the alienation of the rest of the world; and, most eerie, the religious aspect behind it all.
It's time to get to work, full-time, non-stop. Call the Democratic Party (821-2777) or go to moveon.org and see what you can do to help. If you're still not motivated, go see the documentary Unprecedented, which the Independent is sponsoring next week across the Triangle, about the steps taken to manipulate the Florida vote.
Enjoy these days. But make the most of them.
