I cannot take any more. I am especially tired of our fair leaders from Oregon like Wyden and Smith. I have sent a letter to Ron Wyden and will write to Smith today as well.
To my fellow DUers, I am sorry if you think I'm attacking the wrong people but, we have to hold the Dems feet to the fire until they scream loudly enough that no FREEPER OR REPUBLICAN BIGOT can shout them down.
Mr. Wyden:
I am writing to ask you - WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY IN THE HOMELAND SECURITY BUDGET GO? We have heard repeatedly that the government could not divulge the details of the Homeland Security budget because of "national security" concerns. You didn't want the "terrorists" to know where we were concentrating our money. It's time the people of this country knew where that money is being spent, and what your priorities are.
It appears that the money was not spent on disaster planning but, on tracking and surveillance of U.S. citizens like members of Code Pink, tracking people's library records, etc.
We were told that the major problem on 9/11 was the lack of communications. You were supposed to create a satellite network so that would never happen again. Well, guess what, the worst problem we are facing in New Orleans is that rescuers cannot communicate. There is NO satellite communications system. There is nada.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT MONEY WAS SPENT AND HOW BADLY WE WERE RIPPED OFF. President Bush is only partly responsible for this debacle. Our Congress, that went along with this amazing rip-off, is also responsible.
I guarantee you that I will not quit asking this question. I will not rest until I get some honest answers. I will do everything I can to see that you or any other Democrat that tries to cover up this HUGE RIP-OFF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE is brought down. I will write to every paper in this country. I will talk with everyone in my community and on every message board, right or left, until I get an answer.
As you have seen, per Cindy Sheehan, one really devoted person can do a lot it in this country and, I am going to make getting an answer my personal crusade.
I am so sick of cronyism and backslapping and Democrats that go on voting for CAFTA and NAFTA and a transportation bill that is loaded with pork and, and, and!!!
If Democrats are not willing to stand up, we will see to it that you will stand down and out.
I am a lifelong Democrat, my mother was the leader of the Young Democrats in Hood River County in the 50's. My aunt was the assistant to that wonderful, true Democrat Edith Green. I used to love my party but I have had enough.
If you and your Democratic colleagues do not finally stand up and say enough is enough and help us take back this country, WE WILL DO IT WITHOUT YOU AND YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT US!
