BuzzFlash Declaration Of Independence From Bush

...He has spent the country's surplus and bankrupted the treasury, creating the biggest annual deficit in history, to be followed by still larger deficits and spiraling national debt that will plague our country for generations to come.

He has presided in the largest economic downturn since the Great Depression, losing nearly 3 million jobs, cutting unemployment benefits for more Americans than any other President in United States History, causing the largest stock market downturn in history and the near bankruptcy of nearly every State in the Union, while repeatedly cutting taxes for the wealthiest citizens and corporations in the country.

He has dissolved more international treaties in areas from environmental protection, to human rights, to arms control than any President in United States history, causing untold and unforeseeable harm to not only the people of the United States, but to the people of the world as well.

He has presided over one of the largest security and intelligence failures in the history of the United States, resulting in a most horrific terrorist attack against our soil, then squandered world-wide sympathy directed toward our country on a campaign of imperial aggression for the economic benefit of global corporate interests.

He has attacked and taken over two sovereign countries, one unilaterally against the will of the United Nations and the world community, thus drastically changing longstanding foreign policies, and creating world-wide distrust and disdain for the United States, and has provided no effective plan to rebuild either of those countries.

He has removed or diminished more civil liberties for Americans, and signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution, than any other President in United States history, subjecting citizens and non-citizens to unlawful searches, seizures, detentions, and unrepresented and/or under-represented court trials with no benefit of jury.

He has repeatedly designed and promoted to law policies that invariably benefit the short-term interests of the privileged wealthy and large corporations over the interests of the vast majority of the American People in the areas of health care, disability and retirement benefits, environmental and consumer protection, and education, to name only a few.

He has repeatedly distorted facts or presented outright lies and fabrications in order to persuade both the Congress and the American People to support his personal and financial agendas, resulting in the needless deaths and/or financial ruin of thousands of people both in this country and around the world.

He has undermined the concept of a free and independent press by allowing increased consolidation of ownership by fewer and larger corporate owners, despite enormous public outcry against such changes.

In every stage of these Oppressions, We have petitioned, protested, emailed, telephoned, written letters and otherwise humbly asked for Redress: Our repeated requests have been answered only by repeated and increased injury. A Head of State, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
