Battle Cry For Billionaires, Broadcasters, and Bloggers
From BuzzFlash.com:

Battle Cry For Billionaires, Broadcasters, and Bloggers: November Is The Gulf Of Tonkin For The Next War And The One Party State.

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Brent Budowsky

… For the first time in the history of our Republic, the coming election in November is nothing less than a national referendum, in which the American people will be voting whether to pursue, or prevent, the next dark and unalterable road to tragic and unwise war…

In Vietnam, the war decision was made regardless of the election, by the Congress. In Iraq, the war decision was made before the election, by the Congress. For the next war, the decision will made before the election, by the VOTERS…

It is time to be deadly serious and understand the full magnitude of the coming assault that will soon be launched against us, and the ominous and deadly consequences if they prevail again.
It is time to do what the financiers for the one party state have been doing for thirty years.

It is time to man the barricades, with a sense of urgency and passion, with an immediacy and power equal to the magnitude of the forces we are up against, the unprecedented attack that is hours from beginning, and the extreme consequences of two more years of one party rule.
It is time to cut the cards, cut the crap, cut through the niceties, and play to win…
