13. WHOO-HOOO

this is more than just a censure - it's a statement that we won't be silenced
sent this to Sen. Feingold this morning:

Thank-you for speaking out and introducing the resolution to censure President Bush.

For too long Congress has avoided their responsibility to hold the Bush administration accountable.

I find it ironic you are being criticized for speaking out. It's been said your call for censure sends the wrong message to terrorists. President Bush has repeatedly said terrorists hate our freedoms. I fail to understand how exercising freedom, and holding President Bush accountable for violating those same freedoms is sending a wrong message. In fact, it sends the right message about how a democracy should work -- where leaders are held accountable for their actions, when speaking out does not mean being imprisoned, where the people are heard.

The strength of a democracy is measured by the freedom of citizens to express support or opposition of a government - be it in times of peace or war.

Our strength as a democracy is being undermined by the repeated efforts of the Republican Party and the Bush Administration to silence all opposition.

if you haven't thanked Sen. Feingold yet - what are you waiting for?
