You Tube Censorship

You Tube pulled a stream, video, film, whatever they're called that features powerful words by JFK, Martin Luther King Jr. and presidential candidate Ron Paul. The poster was given no reason for the censorship, though he has written to You Tube many times.

Please watch and post to your sites. Spread the message of someone in public life--thank God!--advocating for the Constitution and an end to preemptive war.

Clinton and Obama certainly aren't. When asked, both said that they would continue the illegal and unconstitutional practice of signing statements, in which Congress passes a law and the president signs the bill into law, but then issues a signing statement, picking and choosing what aspects of the law the executive will abide by or negating the law entirely. In this manner, Bush has made a regular practice of the unitary executive, a means by which the judicial and legislative branches of government are nullified and the executive reins supreme. Hmmm...isn't that the definition of a dictatorship?

Wake up, folks! Wake up! Write and call your representatives. Tell them, like I have done many times to Sens. Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein, "Why are you such cowards? Why don't you stand up for the Constitution? You're acting as if Bush is a Mafia boss who will have you rubbed out if you cross him. For god's sake, save this country. Do something. Otherwise, history will l look back at you as cowards, absolute cowards."

Well, and of course, history will look back at each and every American who did nothing, said nothing, just as history has harshly judged the German people for the atrocities of the Nazis. If you are doing and saying nothing to save the Constitution and to demand the rule of law, then you, too, are a coward and history will look back at you with scorn.

As Helma, the mother of my deceased boyfriend Mike and someone who lived in Nazi Germany, told me, "This is exactly what happened with Hitler. This is how it started."

How do you want it to end?

About Me

Southern California, United States
Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.
