I will turn this flag right side up when:
1) Bush/Cheney are no longer in the White House
2) There are no longer any US troops in Iraq
3) The Patriot Act has been repealed & our rights restored
4) All Americans have access to health, dental, & vision care
5) The US Govt. no longer imprisons innocent children
6) American horses are no longer slaughtered

These are the things that I think and worry about:
It's a long list, but George Bush made it that way!
Democracy, Repeal Patriot Act, End Iraq War, Prevent Iran War, Restore Unity, Compassion, and Tolerance in the American people and in the rest of the world, 9/11 Truth, Impeach and Prosecute Bush/Cheney, Amnesty for Immigrants & Fair Immigration Laws, Protect Human and Civil Rights, Protect Children, Save Social Security, End Poverty, Universal Single-Payer Health Care For ALL, Stop Global Warming, Support Education, Stop Torture in US prisons, Stop Police Brutality, End the War on Drugs, Support Iraq War Vets, Effects of Depleted Uranium, Use Alternative Energy Sources, Housing for Low-Income Families, No Animal Testing, No Killl Animal Shelters, Support Small Farmers & Organic Farming, Support Small Business, Close Down Internment Centers, Eliminate Blackwater, DHS, KBR, and ICE, Turn our country's prisons back over to the states and get rid of the prison corporations getting rich off the misery of the American people.

The assault on the US Constitution and the resultant loss of civil liberties and habeas corpus in this country is something that every American should be horrified by. Our country is being turned into a despotic fascism, and a police state, where our government can throw us into a detainment camp at any time, and where we will have no rights whatsoever. No right to legal counsel, no right to habeas corpus, no rights at all. Our Constitution has been shredded to bits, and the current administration considers it "outdated" and valueless. This is the same Constitution that our forefathers fought and died for. And I for one am not going to condone it. Our government was intended to be "of the people, by the people, and FOR the people". Not of Bush, by Bush, and for Bush.

Our president has lied to us about almost everything: about 9/11, and about the reasons for attacking Iraq (non-existent WMD's), and he has signed policies into effect in secrecy from the American public and hidden from Congress. He has condoned the use of torture in American prisons. This administration has violated International Treaties, broken the Geneva Convention laws on the treatment of prisoners of war, and defied the United Nations, and has committed war crimes which are severely punishable crimes, and which are impeachable offenses. Almost 2,000,000 innocent civilian women and children have been massacred in Iraq on the basis of LIES. This is GENOCIDE. The same thing Hitler did! And now he wants to broaden his sweep of genocidal massacres to Iran and probably wherever else he can think of, in his mad craze for taking over the oil of the Middle East.

Our president has violated the law over 750 times by making "signing statements" in opposition and direct defiance to laws and statutes passed legally by our Congress, making our democratic process null and void. He has basically declared himself a dictator. We MUST stand up for the rights endowed to the citizens of this country, which are embodied in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

Over the last 7 years, our country has turned into a place of division, conflict, injustice, and hatred. American people have been divided by racism, religious schisms, and intolerance. This is not the America we used to be so proud of. REAL Americans are compassionate, humane, tolerant of others' differences, and supportive of others' rights. We now have an unprecedented level of police brutality and hate crimes, children are being imprisoned in detainment camps, and our state prisons have been taken over by private prison corporations who are greedily making money hand over fist off the misery of the victims of the "War on Drugs".

Over 40 million people in this country have no access to health care. We have a president who thinks it is more important to build prisons than to let our children have health care, and who thinks it's ok for toddlers to be locked up in prisons. Our Social Security Administration is going down the drain. Our government has passed laws which say they can wiretap American citizens phones and emails without a court order. They can enter our homes without a warrant. They want to give us all Real ID's with barcodes and microchips so they can track us and even listen to our private conversations.

I believe Dennis Kucinich is the only candidate who cannot be "bought", and who truly believes in peace, compassion, and true democracy. And this is why I intend to vote for him. Please educate yourself on his viewpoints on the issues confronting the United States and the world.
