They are the
same duopoly that thinks so little of our democracy that they have made it
almost impossible for any new party or independent candidate to get on several
states' ballots -- and, through their total control of the Presidential Debate
Commission, which hijacked the presidential debates from the League of Women
Voters, have prevented any non-plutocratic voices from being heard by the
electorate during presidential debates.
In short,
each of us can say: "We're not going to take it any more. We have drawn our line -- and won't budge
from it.
-
We won't support anyone who disregards our
Constitution and the rule of law.
-
We won't support anyone who tortures,
authorizes torture, or opposes accountability for those who torture.
-
We won't support anyone who targets U.S.
citizens for assassination.
-
We won't support anyone who will not work to
stop the insane and inhumane incarceration of 2.3 million people, many of them
for non-violent offenses -- an incarceration rate far greater than any other
nation on earth and which is applied with a vengeance toward African-Americans
and Latinos.
-
We won't support anyone who fails and
refuses to face up to the need for rational, compassionate immigration reform.
-
We won't support anyone who will not commit
to provide our students with an equal opportunity to obtain a higher education
and equip themselves to be competitive globally with students and employees in
other nations.
-
We won't support anyone who asserts the
power to kidnap and indefinitely detain people, including U.S. citizens,
without charges, trial, assistance of legal counsel, or right of habeas corpus
-- perhaps the most subversive, anti-American stance ever taken by a Congress
or a President in our nation's history.
-
We won't support anyone who takes, or
purports to authorize a president to take, our nation to war without a finding
by Congress that war is justified -- and without compliance with the U.N.
Charter, to which the U.S. is a signatory.
-
We won't support anyone who allows the
continuation of Bush's budget-busting tax breaks for the wealthy.
-
We won't support anyone who makes it more
difficult for working men and women to organize.
-
We won't support anyone who continues to
allow multi-national corporations to profit by depriving U.S. workers of their
jobs while exporting millions of jobs with nearly slave conditions in other
nations.
-
We won't support anyone who refuses to
implement programs like the Works Progress Administration to hire millions of
people to build up our nation's rapidly deteriorating infrastructure.
