This administration has assured Americans repeatedly of future success and prosperity by passage of these initiatives: Bush-Cheney energy bill, reduced medical costs with tort reform, tax cuts for the wealthy to improve the economy and job security, home ownership to improve our economy, calling foreign “terrorists” threats to freedom yet declaring that habeas corpus is defunct (if “they” say so) and wireless phone taps are legal.

Our war on terror is not going very well in the Mideast, and this administration is considering an attack on Iran or using Israel as our proxy to do it. Exercising freedom of speech is called unpatriotic; generals who disagree with this administration’s party line are “retired” or outright fired.
Despite passage of this administration’s “great and novel ideas,” my friends, why aren’t you happy with the direction of this administration’s policies? Oh, did we mention the $9 trillion national debt our grandchildren owe? How about environmental issues and lack of development of alternative energy sources?

The administration has increased government subsidies to big business, especially the oil industry. Forty-five million to 50 million Americans have no health coverage, and there has been a decline in America’s international reputation. The list goes on and on. Is it time for a change from the policies of the past eight years? You be the judge.
