What makes this a great country....
It's not the land or the sea.

It's not the air or the people.

These things are found all around the planet.


What makes this a great country is the Constitution, a simple piece of paper that we all agree to live by, let us never forget this.

2. The biggest threat America faces
I have long held the firm belief that America's gravest threat is not an invasion, but the destruction of our rights and Constitution by internal forces.

3. It's time for Roosevelt's second bill of rights
That the Nixon judges vetoed. Europe has in effect Roosevelt's second bill of rights almost in total, with their safety net from birth to death. We Americans are being screwed to the max.

5. Yes. . .

It all begins with CLOSED political parties, CLOSED rallies and CLOSED meetings
and ends with stupid stuff like illegal wiretaps on citizens who oppose and
Guantanamo Bay.

People need to insist on JUSTICE for everyone, even the people who disagree,
because you will be next. We must uphold all of the Bill of Rights, and all of the
Constitutional guarantees for every single citizen, no matter what or we are all lost.
