Press Release Source: Bob Miller Writes

Democracy Took the Day Off
Thursday March 4, 3:28 pm ET

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Author and Gospel singer Bob Miller ( www.bobmillerwrites.com ), a registered Republican shocked his fellow song writers at their annual conference this week with his most unexpected political opinions. Miller said, "With the backbone of the Democratic Party, William Jefferson Clinton, out of the way and the Bush Storm Troopers in place, democracy took the day off. Then this war-for-profit crew moved forward with their plans as if world opinions were irrelevant."

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse, as Miller continued, "Now that the moment of glory has passed and the long years of blood, sweat and tears are upon us, they will yet again -- according to plan -- take their spoils and move on, leaving the rest of us to bury the dead and balance the checkbook."

After taking a drink (presumably of water) Miller said, "Think about it ... $30 million dollars and instant naturalization given to an Arab who provided the whereabouts of Saddam's sons in order that Bush, Blair and the major armed forces of the world could at least find someone or something, if not WMD.

"I am grateful for the many invitations to join the Democratic Party, but I'll stick it out here. I mean, how could it possibly get any worse than having the second most hated man to live in the last 200 years as your candidate?"

There were no hecklers, but then most everyone appeared speechless except Miller, "I'm not campaigning against a fellow Republican. The truth is, Bush does not represent the Republican Party or any other party for that matter. He represents the Bush dynasty. Is it not bad enough that another four years of his dictatorship will produce yet more unemployed, homeless and demoralized Americans?

"Can we also risk having to cope with his uncontrollable ego? The leadership of this father and son team can be critiqued using a term that epitomizes their presidencies: Collateral Damage. Clearly, America's integrity and economy fall into this category when they clash with the prosperity of Bush and his accomplices."

Mr. Miller followed this up with a gospel song.

Miller authored "Conversations with God" (Vanquish Publications), served as a pilot in Vietnam, and challenged Richard Shelby for a U.S. Senate seat in 1992.

8. Not To Worry, Clear Channel Won't Play It
He may be angry, but he'll still be stifled. It's not like Clear Channel and other Banana Republican sympathizers would give any protest songs he writes any air time.

But WE can get it out there. This is an amazing outpouring of truth from someone who is used to using words.

This is wonderful.

Send it around.
