Dear CNN, The answer to your question is easy: The current Bush Administration, backed by radical NEO-Cons, like PNAC. Under this regime we have seen the following : 1. The loss of independent un-biased journalism. All major networks and newspapers are owed and operated by massive corporations, eager to buy fake videos, paid commentators, and planted 'news' stories in return for more favorable regulation and uncontested monopoly power. 2. The extremism of the GOP has lead America to the brink of fascism. There are 14 different common symptoms of a fascist nation, and the USA now exhibits all 14. 3. The erosion of our basic civil rights...our right to sue corporations, our right to privacy, our right to dissent and assembly on public property, etc. 4. The raising of corporations to a status above the person. Corporations now have 'rights' beyond that of individuals and seek ever more protection from the government. All of these special exclusions from regulation and liability are paid for in corporate political donations. 5. The radical fundamentalist 'christians' who are demanding the overthrow of our democracy in favor of theocracy. And we have such things as HB 235 to support their efforts. 6.Deregulation and privatization of everything. No one but insiders are appointed to any oversight commissions. It's the foxes guarding the hen house. The public is being shafted ...scientists are excluded from environmental policy, the FDA is being controlled by those who want their religious beliefs crammed down the throats of everyone, our intelligence analysts have been replaced by those who spout the 'party line'. 7.Probably most disturbing is the lack of free and accountable elections. With all of the ballot counting being provided by just 3 GOP-biased corporations, there will never be another true election within the USA. I am demanding an end to machine voting of any type and hand counting of federal election ballots. I truly believe that democracy is already dead in the United States. We are now 'blessed' with an ignorant and truly un-informed electorate, who are more concerned with 'reality TV' than being a democracy. Sincerely,
