Tuesday Topic Week 16

Tomorrow we celebrate the birthday of our country. Founded on concepts which today only seem as a fond memory. We will go out to watch fireworks displays and revel in the memory of the freedoms our forefathers fought and died for. Freedoms which have been surrendered in the name of fighting "Terror".

The War on Terror has cost us our right to Habeas Corpus, ushered in illegal spying on our citizens and hindered our ability to show our dissatisfaction.

We have a man serving as president who rewrites the laws to exclude him as he laughs at our judges and juries.

Our forefathers are surely rolling over in their graves!

It's time to again declare our independence. To declare our independence form this current administration and return to the concepts on which this once great country was founded.

One step in the right direction is to end the war in Iraq as well as the threats and aggression towards Iran.
