HOMELAND SECURITY?

PRESERVE AMERICA – PAY ATTENTION:

Canadian Leonard Cohen once wrote, “Democracy is coming to the USA.”  As Americans, it is time
for us to help restore representative democracy to our country.

Increasingly expensive political campaigns make modern politicians very dependent upon campaign contributors.  The influence of corporate and varied special interest groups have led to a bitter and polarized political climate.

Americans need to pay attention and follow the money if they want to know how decisions are being made by those in power. 

PROTECT YOUR STATE – ASK QUESTIONS:

Don’t look now, but the self-proclaimed champions of states' rights in Washington D.C. are seizing political control of many state decisions.  They do this while simultaneously cutting taxes and shifting more of the federal government’s historic burden and oversight functions to the state level. 

In old-economy industrial states such as Michigan, the results have been disastrous.  It is time for citizens of every state to ask hard questions. 

 
DEFEND YOUR COMMUNITY – SPEAK UP:

Americans need to know what is going on in their own backyards.  Modern terrors such as crime and punishment, unemployment, ignorance, drug and alcohol abuse, despair, suicide, sexual abuse, toxic waste, cancer, and rampant corruption affect and will continue to impact the quality of life in every community in America.

Politicians prefer simple black and white answers to the cloudy realities real Americans face every day.  Why do we allow them to paint our world black and white, and play on our fears of real and fabricated boogiemen?  Over 3,000 people died during the tragic events of 9/11/01.  Terrorists are real threats, but have our leaders made us safer?

Has the Iraq war made America safer?  Where is Bin Laden?  Does the U.S. have enough troops in Afghanistan?   How many Americans have died from murder in our major cities since September 11th?  How many lives have been cut short by preventable diseases?  How does the massive national debt impact our security? Does our educational system leave us vulnerable?  Does your state and community have enough resources to respond in the event of a major disaster?

Is this Homeland Security? 

Americans need to ask their federal, state, and local government officials what the Hell is going on?  And demand honest answers.  These politicians are employees of the people.  We can not afford to let them forget who is boss!  Speak up and inform our employees what issues are most important to everyday Americans.
