Dec. 10 is Human Rights Day
Maybe the Democratic Party should adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as its platform. You mission for today is to find even one Article in this document that has not been violated by Bushco.

http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/eng.htm

one example:

Article 23
Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.
