You know... ALL of our problems would end if we stood together as Americans and exposed the 9/11 Cover-Up.

Imagine. The corporations would lose their stranglehold on the Government. Decisions would be made that benefit the PEOPLE, and NOT the corporations, and the fascists who serve them.

Let me explain it to you in a way that maybe you'll understand.

Have you ever come across a bum on the street, and you had problems making eye contact with them because they're "Less Than Human"?

Or

Have you ever squashed an ant, or burned it with a magnifying glass, just because you could?

THAT is how our "Leaders" perceive us.

It is a PROVEN fact that corporations care more about the "bottom dollar" than the people they sell their products to.

If our "Leaders" are interchangeable with their corporate counterparts, why should their priorities be any different?

Guess what. They're not.

The Gettysburg Address

Abraham Lincoln
Gettysburg, Pennslvania
November 19, 1863

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Of the people... NOT the corporations...
