When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

MoveonOrg has formed a PAC devoted to regime change at home. Here's what they say in a ltter to their supporters:
Im very worried. There are no Democratic candidates around that look as good as Gore did. Lieberman was a poor choice for vice presidential candidate, I thought, and would be a worse choice or presidential candidate. I thought he was a liberal when he was in the Connecticut legislature and later as attorney general. But when he first ran for the US Senate, he came on as a hawk and lost me right there.
The Democrats in Congress seem to be doing nothing. From what I've seen, they support the president's warmongering, or perhaps they fear to oppose him. Either way, the vast majority are useless.

Yeah, but what about Lieberman?
MoveonOrg has formed a PAC devoted to regime change at home. Here's what they say in a ltter to their supporters:
The hotter heads have prevailed: pre-emptive unilateralism is now the official policy of the U.S.. Vice President Cheney, Secretary Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle are now thinking even bigger about the projection of American power. In the chilling words of a senior official close to the Bush administration, "Anyone can go to Baghdad. Real men go to Tehran."
Folks, we just have to stop this madness, and there's really only one way to do that: We need to throw these bums out. The good news is that over the last few months, we've built a base that just may be large enough to succeed. MoveOn's total membership is now over 1.3 million. We've taken out ads, written letters, delivered mountains of petition signatures, and taken action in hundreds of cities. And now we need to turn our attention toward one goal: regime change in the USA, the best way to repudiate Bush's policy of war.
