Resist of not?
I'm a business owner with massive debt, a family, a house etc. I increasingly worry about being a target for an investigation etc since I am pretty political and outspoken. I have an Impeach Bush chain flyer in my cafe for clarification.

My wife sais that its not worth resisting but my heart sais I must even though I could put my life or my family in jeopardy. In the end I must for my daughters sake and its my right and responcibility in a democracy.

Not sure what to do?

5. Most of all
She is not a US citizen yet. She is a German Citizen. If they decided to they could send her back. I'd have to go to if possable and we have a 5 year old daughter. This is her biggest fear.

9. Go with her! Before the country collapses.
I think it will take awhile before they get down to the smaller fry. Just don't talk about killing anyone. They have put people in jail for that. I think we can all panic when this website disappears.

12. Call me sentimental but
My parents are here. I have friends. I will support them to my death if necessary. I am not a cut and run person. Also this is worldwide. There is no hiding.

4. I'd say you're safe for now.

Tons of people do the same exact things that you do. I'm not sure what you mean by resisting. Resisting what? Right wing garbage? Forget about it - keep on writing! Also, what you be the target of an investigation for? You've done nothing illegal.

8. That's my opinion too
Now georgie says he has the right to wiretap on anyone he wants? If no one has the politcal will to turn that around then it gets worse. Its a huge matter to me.

10. You are surely your daughter's hero
I'm deeply moved at how profound this bush criminality has moved people to becoming,
,(*wow*), heroic, couragous and all those real american values that are so betrayed
by these crimnials. I'm sure every person you meet feels your good hearted committment,
and this goodwill opens the doors of luck, 72 virgins and all that... a real martyr for
truth who has everything to lose, yet fights anyways.

11. I've had the same fear. My husband is not a US citizen either - he's Dutch
but he will apply for citizenship now that Holland recognizes dual citizenship for him. We too have children. I have wondered if I should just let it go and go with the flow but I am doing nothing wrong. *sigh*
