One of the founders of the USA, Thomas Jefferson, said that the US should have a revolution every 20 years or so because "lethargy" is the "forerunner to the death of liberty." Many more wars and the suppression of our liberties later, President John F. Kennedy said: "Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable."
Exactly a year before his assassination (and 36 years before Casey Sheehan's death in Iraq), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr said that our nation needs a "revolution of values."
We at Cindy for Congress agree with these statements. We have been first-hand witnesses to the suppression of protest and freedom of speech here in the USA. We have been on the receiving end of police abuse and harassment and we have lost two loved ones to the war machine that Nancy Pelosi supports to enrich two of her major contributors: General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin.
Nancy Pelosi's values do not match the values of the people of San Francisco. She was briefed on water-boarding in 2002 and did nothing to restrain BushCo from this inhumane practice that has only fueled violence and hatred and doesn't even obtain reliable intelligence for which our country has unfortunately paid a heavy price. This is why impeachment is "off the table." Nancy allowed legislation to proceed that benefited another one of her major contributors: Amgen; of which she is a stockholder.

Cindy Sheehan (and apparently you too!) are just further proof the far left can be equally as goofy as the far right. Just keep on voting for losers like Cindy and Ralph Nader though. Maybe it will be "deja vu all over again" like when the Nader voting numbskulls in Florida alone gave us 8 fucking years of George W. Bush. Be in denial all you want you crazy motherfuckers but you are a big part of the problem!
