Guest post: On the Imperial Presidency; IN WHOSE NAME??

Thank you so much, Bill!

This is such a heart-felt, and passionate statement about what we can all see.

PUBLIC SERVANT? Give us a break.

In Whose Name?



………An Inquiry from the American Majority……



Mr. Bush….



In whose name were those in Florida who had paid their debt to society not allowed to vote in the 2000 election?



In whose name did the Supreme Court of the United States appoint you as President of the United States?



In whose name did you fail to protect

American citizens on 9/11?



In whose name have you failed to find and prosecute the true perpetrators of the 9/11 atrocity?



In whose name did you lie to the American public about the motives behind a preemptory attack on the sovereign nation of Iraq?



In whose name have you allowed the continued sacrifice of United States soldier’s lives, limbs and families?



In whose name have you allowed the continued killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women, children and infants?



In whose name have you continued to torture prisoners of war?



In whose name have you allowed the squandering of billions of dollars of the American taxpayer and billions of dollars of Iraqi’s wealth?



In whose name do you continue to hire mercenaries who kill innocent civilians indiscriminately, paying them many times the average American soldier’s wage?



In whose name have you treated returning American veterans with callousness and disrespect?



In whose name have you added signing statements to legislation you have signed, virtually allowing you to ignore the very content of the law?



In whose name have you stripped this populace of the ancient writ of habeas corpus?



In whose name have you kept the facts of global warming from United States citizens?



In whose name did you deter minorities

from their right to vote in Ohio in the 2004 election?



In whose name have you formed an illegal union between Mexico, the United States and Canada without the knowledge, oversight and approval of the Congress or the American public?



In whose name have you sold cluster bombs to Israel for use against the Lebanese in direct violation of international law, leaving behind millions of death traps for innocent civilians?



In whose name did you allow the imprisonment of United States border guards, granting immunity to the drug smuggler they tried to apprehend?



In whose name did you fire competent United States attorneys who failed to further your political agenda or who were investigating your administration’s corrupt practices?



In whose name do you allow obscene corporate profits and continue to give them tax breaks and allow corporate executives to earn in one day what their employees earn in a year?



In whose name do you deceptively promote and sign tax cuts that affect only the upper 5% of the population, while many of the average middle class workers must labor at two or three jobs and place their children in daycare?



In whose name do you refuse to meet with a grieving mother who sits on your doorstep seeking answers?



In whose name would you not meet with a tri-pelagic Vietnam veteran/congressman sitting in his wheelchair on your doorstep?



In whose name have you spoken bi-partisanship and practiced partisanship of the most egregious nature?



In whose name have you muddied the American reputation in the international community and destroyed its credibility?



In whose name have you allowed the use

of depleted uranium as a weapon in Afghanistan, Iraq and other conflicts….FOREVER contaminating those nations and poisoning their inhabitants and OUR soldiers?



In whose name have you bullied the members of congress to succumb to your dastardly plans to spy on your citizens?





In whose name, Mr. Bush?



In whose name?...............



Certainly not mine!



Certainly not the majorities!

And certainly not in your name…as you are our chosen representative…chosen to reflect the majority consciousness.



And so I ask you one more time…



In whose name do you govern?



In whose name do you lead?



If your only answer is in YOUR NAME,



you must resign, as this is still a

democracy, a representative republic…

NOT A KINGDOM.



You, Mr. Bush, believe me,



ARE NOT A KING!!
