Does anyone remember the good old days of America? We had a stable, thriving, economy, we led the
free world by cooperating with other countries, and we had a strong, capable, intelligent leader in the White House?
It should not be too hard to remember these days since they were still occurring just over a year ago.
Since that time, Bush has trashed all of this and has become EXACTLY the kind of "leader" that the
majority of Americans thought he would be-which is precisely WHY we voted for President Gore.

In the past nightmare year, in no particular order, Bush has "accomplished" the following:
He stole the Presidency. I know that he and the GOP claim that it was just a "coincidence" that the voting
"irregularities" occurred in the ONLY state run by his little brother and I know that, so far, there is no
smoking gun that points the finger of blame at either of the Bush brothers, but I am no fool. I know when
I am being lied to and when I am not. I knew that President Clinton was not being truthful about his affair
with Monica Lewinski and I know that Bush is not telling the truth about Florida. Eventually history,
not hysteria or hype, will tell us which was the worse crime.

He has taken our economy back the to days of his father's administration (perhaps even worse than that).
Unemployment is soaring, people are losing their life savings through the machinations of crooked companies,
and there seems to be no hope that Social Security will survive for those who were looking forward to having it
to bolster their retirement income.

He has alienated the rest of the world by arbitrarily, and without the SUPPORT of Congress (whom he did not ask),
thrown out the Kyoto Treaty and the ABM Missile treaty.

He has sold out America to the wealthy by pushing through a "tax cut" that he claimed would save America's economy.
Things have only gotten worse-much worse since this farce passed into law-and now he expects us to swallow another
even larger "tax cut" for the wealthy?

He is a puppet of corporate America. One of his closest advisors has been Ken Lay, who was once being considered
for the post of "energy czar". Ken Lay is the former leader of Enron, the now defunct energy company that left thousands
of employees out of work and out of their pensions as well. Not to mention all the people who lost money-some their life savings-when Enron's stock plunged.

He signed an "executive order" allowing either the White House or former presidents to veto the release of their
presidential papers. Thus drawing veil of darkness over the acts of past presidents. Is it "coincidence" again that the
first president whose papers could have been revealed was Reagan, who incidentally had a vice president named Bush?

When thinking about this remember George Orwell's chilling observation in his book "1984." 
"Those who control the past control the future. Those who control the present control the past."

This list could go on and on and on...which is why we have to work to END this list. From now until November 2002
we have to work day and night to oust ANY candidate who even remotely backed Bush in any endeavor.
We MUST take control of both Houses of Congress so we can call for an impeachment hearing on Bush.
On what basis will we call for these hearings?
Look at YOUR list of his crimes and choose one, any one, while remembering that between now
and the time we take back Capitol Hill there will be more to add to the list.

I urge everyone to make the following your credo, your mantra, your rallying cry.
Shout it from the roof tops, say it on radio talk shows, write letters to the editor and to Congressional leaders,
to your friends and family let them know that in 2002 these words will be our inspiration and our guiding light:
REMEMBER FLORIDA! VOTE DEMOCRATIC IN 2002!

Dear Shrub,
I have no words for you this month except to ask to give the majority
of American's a happy new year by following this one resolution:
Resign from office!

John Darling (a.k.a. Jack Point)
