Check out this youtube video about was Dennis is going to do in Congress on Friday. Basically he is going to try to get Bush impeached and while I think this is a sisyphean task I applaud him for doing something to show America's discontent with how the government is being run. Of course I wish that they were doing more in congress instead of just posturing like this, but I am still happy to see someone bring it up and who knows, maybe it will pass and we can actually be happy that at least one good piece of legislation got passed. See below for the video.

 Following is an article with links that I just read.  Of course all issues will be addressed from many sides.  One of these sides will be effective legislation and much of the legislation I imagine that will be passed in the first year of Obama's Presidency will be legislation that undoes a lot of the Bush mischief.

Removing the Enron loophole is but one of many.  In addition, already in the last month we have heard Obama speaking of dusting off our anti trust laws--most of which are intact and still on the books, although you wouldn't know it from these past 8 years.  Obama spoke of these laws in reference to media ownership.  I would like nothting better than to see mainstream neocon-owned media whittled down to a proper size that better ensures less news bias.  Here is that article on what Obama will do regarding the Enron loophole.

he opposes his own measure
http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/9658.html

* McCain said before the war in Iraq, "We will win this conflict. We
will win it easily." Four years later, McCain said he knew all along
http://electioncentral.tpmcafe.com/blog/electioncentral/2007/jan/05/olbermann_crowns_mccain_worst_persons_for_flip_flopping
that the war in Iraq war was "probably going to be long and hard and tough."

* McCain said he was the "greatest critic" of Rumsfeld's failed Iraq
policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as "a mission
accomplished." In March 2004, he said, "I'm confident we're on the right
course http://thinkprogress.org/2007/08/18/mccain-greatest-critic/ 
In December 2005, he said, "Overall, I think a year from now, we will
have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course."

* McCain went from saying he would not support repeal

* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as "an agent of
intolerance" in 2002, but then decided to cozy up to the man
http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/6988.html who said
Americans "deserved" the 9/11 attacks.

* McCain used to oppose Bush's tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he
reversed course
http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/6731.html in February.

* On a related note, he said 2005 that he opposed the tax cuts because
they were "too tilted to the wealthy
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/03/us/politics/03mccain.html?ref=us
By 2007, he denied ever having said this, and insisted he opposed the
cuts because of increased government spending.

* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of
being corrupt, spending "dirty money" to help finance Bush's
presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the
Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out
at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=1880630&page=1

* McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his
name. In June 2007, he abandoned http://www.nysun.com/article/36949
his own legislation.

* McCain opposed a holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., before he
supported it
http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20070115/pl_usnw/dnc__mccain_spends_mlk_holiday_pandering_to_the_far_right

2000 that he didn't want anything to do with former Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger, believing he "would taint the image of the 'Straight
Talk Express.'" Kissinger is now the Honorary Co-Chair
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/12/19/mccain-kissinger/ for his
presidential campaign in New York.

You can see the activity in the medians of the interstate expressways the energy is palpable. The elevated structure that will carry the bullet trains traveling in excess of 350 miles per hour is visible while driving down any expressway of the country. There is a feeling of participation exuded by my fellow citizens as if they understand the significance of their being present at this momentous period in our country's transformation. Across the fields in places like Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas large wind turbines, solar collectors, and other innovative structures utilizing a multitude of technologies are being constructed to provide the much needed power for our nation.

Everyone is talking about the activity with an air of anticipation. The undertaking is one of pride that all Americans acknowledge the significance and urgency in completing. We may have been late to act to secure our country's future in a world of uncertain energy supplies but have expended the money and energy that typifies the unique strength of our citizens when faced with a Herculean effort.

It was only a year ago that most of us felt that once again nothing would be accomplished given all the divergent business interests that were vying to derail any initiative that would disrupted the preferred societal stasis. For it was through this static regressive state that the business elite were able to most effectively maintain their control over our society. Why should they consent to changing a totalitarian economic system that had benefited them enormously? What transpired was truly miraculous one by one citizen's starting standing up demanding that the yoke of business be removed from their government. Even governmental representatives who had been the stewards of business interests for years started moving from the shadows into a new light of realization that their country's economic survival was more important than any single business. We could have either continued down the same worn paths of acceptance of our business handler's dictates or rise above the sludge and build a better tomorrow for our nation - together. It was the latter decision that was ultimately chosen.

A patriotic pride has enveloped our nation from the most remote to the most populous regions. It is impossible not to understand how important the completion of all these efforts is, given the continual pressure that is being placed upon our environment by a nation whose expansiveness demands burning unimaginable amounts of fossil fuels just in a daily commute. Not to mention the continual rise in a barrel of oil that has been accelerating of late given OPEC's understanding that once our green industries, and cross-country mass transit systems fully come 'on line' our consumption of oil will drop precipitously.

In some parts of the country our citizens are already enjoying their commutes on bullet trains after parking their cars at their local station. Fully realizing that they'd better become acclimated to this form of travel given that the Emergency Oil Corporation will cease to exist after the completion of the entire transport system and 75% of the green industries are operational - rider ship has increased exponentially over the past few months. For a fee that is a fraction of what we pay for gasoline even at a retail rate with no profit included it represents a significant savings in money not to mention the time saved by not having to sit in traffic during a daily commute. Some people have even begun using the monorails (for they do resemble something you'd see at Disney) for travel during their vacations. With expansive luggage compartments underneath the passenger section most people find that their still able to take between 2 -3 suitcases on a trip for 1/10 of the cost of a plane ride.

Newly formed public utilities are beginning to supply power to homes and business at rates reminiscent of the 1950's generated through renewable energy sources. These public utilities (that are essentially electric cooperatives) are supplanting the private electric companies that for years had been raising rates beyond the means of our citizen's ability to pay.

The benefits are to numerous to quantify - every sector of our nation's economy has been benefiting through the foresight of a few visionaries willing to stand up and push back the selfish business elites in an effort to once again allow our country to travel down the road of prosperity. The only difference this time is the road of our memory where millions upon millions of vehicles burning fossil fuels each competing for space has now become a swift moving steel monorail blazing down the center of a highway.

There is once again talk about the future not in the despair reminiscent of yesterday but the promise of tomorrow - for both our government and economy is finally free to move towards new horizons. We are united under one nation of citizens within one country that we all call home - what a beautiful home.

An awakened aggressive nation of citizens has been voting with passion expending their emotion in a torrid of energy that will eventually crest over the parapets of a government embalmed by a cadre of lobbyists. What our citizens are desperately seeking is a leader that will cross the boundary of obscene doctrinaire generalizations into a clear valley of dreams.

Envision our nation not in disconnected segments but coalesced into a future without preconceived barriers. The only barriers that exist are those that are conceptual self imposed granite walls gouged by bloodied fingers attempting to scale an illusion. We must allow our vision free rein realizing that the walls of impossibility don't exist but were constructed within our minds through well placed preconceptions. Allow your thoughts the freedom to wonder across the valley of dreams.

A leader requires the ability to envision something when nothing is present. A cold stark emptiness devoid of hope or cause filled in by a gentle breeze of the possible. Clearly envision what is possible without logic or preconceptions crowding out your creativity - block out every distraction. We will, we can, we'll be able to accomplish anything - there is nothing that is insurmountable when a nation of citizens resolves to transcend from mediocrity to greatness.

Be that leader - Senator Obama - for we have seen sparks of greatness. Now is the time to present your unencumbered vision, plans, and actions that will result in our nation achieving the unimaginable.

A government isn't supposed to tell its citizenry what to expect given certain precepts or inalienable truths never once questioned to determine their validity. Governments have one function that overrides all others, to answer to the will of the people. Whether in a direct fashion as in a democracy or an indirect way through a responsible monarchy that perceives the general tenor of their subjects - the foundation of all good governments rests upon a respect for the citizens that they govern.

When a government disrespects its citizens by engaging in activities or passing legislation that benefits a small select block of citizens to the exclusion of the majority that their supposed to represent - the citizens have every right to dissolve this form of illusory representation. Once corrupted through the melding of the interests of the government representatives with those of the pirates seeking to cannibalize the interests of the general citizenry into their exclusive domain - all is usually lost. It then becomes far too difficult to differentiate the representative from the pirate that has initiated the capture of legislative expectation that once was the exclusive purview of the people.

In their communications with the general citizenry the representatives increasingly disrespect those whom their charged with governing. With the representatives conveying beliefs encased as facts in ever more potent condescending tones the citizens of a nation begin to acquire a subservient posture. Juxtaposed against the patriarchal airs of their representatives the cast is formed and is hardened around the citizens becoming an impervious belief in their own idiocy on a multitude of matters of the state. Once this process is initiated it can be used to silence all dissent by pointing out the ignorance of the former constituents on any matter and contrasting it to the impervious infallibility of their governmental representative benefactors.

Never mind that the supposed infallibility of judgment of the representatives is slanted towards the benefits that they extract through their direct connection with lobbyists that are hooked into business elites. The illusory representation of facts and logic conveyed by the representatives becomes more and more biased towards a belief system espoused by their business elite controllers.

Beware of any law of nature that is just a weak exponent of a human mind that was more interested in perpetuating theory than fact. When the gospel of 'The Free Market' is pandered to those of us who represent the general citizenry of this nation - our ears should perk up in anticipation in receiving an audible justification why tyrants have supplanted our government in our own best interests. It is always in the best interest of the citizenry that tyrants legitimize their rule of tyranny.

The only interest that represents the best interest of the citizens of a nation is those actions by their government that better their lives - not adhere to unchallengeable precepts. We are the government, economy, and for that matter anything that we've conceived those vassals of society to represent - any one of them can be changed for they are not static. Evolution is a constant of nature - change will occur over time. The question now is whether it is change that we desire or change that will enslave us under the power of a few tyrants.

High priced gasoline and diesel with 60 - 80% increases over a span of a few months has been generated by global market speculators providing an illusory justification used by the oil companies in their astronomical rise in retail prices. Through their daily bidding up of the cost per barrel of oil from around $50 dollars per barrel in late 2003 to above $127 dollars per barrel on May 16, 2008 global market speculators are contributing to a well orchestrated market manipulation originating first with OPEC's refusal to increase production quotas. With substantial oil reserves still available across the globe these business elites are engaging in an activity that they know all to well - inventing further contrivances to append to the already distorted totalitarian free market society in order to extract the maximum wealth from those lest able to afford their pillage.

With each increase in the cost per barrel of oil the media 'parrots' of the totalitarian market society echo their scripted concern on queue, this en mass media sludge flows across the nation in a wave of propaganda. Almost immediately we the citizens are confronted with yet another increase in the price per gallon in gasoline and diesel. The oil industry blithely dismisses these increases as a direct result of market forces (those same forces that their conveniently engaged in shaping) that are being stimulated in a skyward direction due to limited supply which is driving the underlying cost per barrel higher. How quickly we forget the record profits that these same oil companies have been piling up over the past few months - profits that have exceeded any made by any company in history - billions upon billions of dollars.

Also, disregard the fact that the oil industry hasn't invested in new refineries since the 1970's thus constraining the supply further - is it at all inconceivable that if you constrain the supply of something that it's price will go up when demand increases. With the introduction of India and China into the community of developing nations global demand for petroleum has skyrocketed with populations that when combined represent the largest proportion of human beings living anywhere driving more and more cars, and requiring ever more electricity to power their homes and factories. So with the supply being constrained due to limited global refining capacity and demand that is increasing almost exponentially, market speculators bidding the price up daily on a barrel of crude oil, and the oil companies using this as a justification for raising their retail prices way beyond any market related factors is it any wonder we are having to make an investment every time we stop to fill up our vehicles.

Now steps in the oil producers and particularly the largest oil producer in the world - Saudi Arabia. Why not keep the pillage parties of these business elites riding across all the nation-state citizens grasping at every wallet or purse in sight galloping along at full speed? If production quotas enacted by the cartel of thieves that call themselves OPEC is maintained at a minimum the global supply can be further constrained but instead of at the point when the oil is transformed into gasoline in this case directly at the source - the wells.

So what's been contrived by the oil producers, oil refiners & companies, market speculators, the entire cadre of business elites including government lobbyists, and the media through their propaganda blitz is an absolute marvel of finessed manipulation of the totalitarian free market economic society with the effect of bringing about the 'perfect storm' of income pillage of the global citizenry.

It's time to put an immediate stop to this hideous greed - we must nationalize all the oil companies within our nation. The egregious profits that they've been accumulating on the backs of citizens just attempting to live their lives in a quiet peaceful and pleasant manner is utterly indefensible. Once nationalized these profits should benefit a nation and planet on the point of ecological peril by investing in the new green industries that will provide jobs for us and a future for our children. Let the United States once again represent the promise of a brighter tomorrow - everything is in our hands - we the citizens that once again will be represented.

Time clicking, click, click, slipping past each second moving incrementally towards a minute then an hour after an eternity of drifting through innumerable minutes. One day at a time we drift across towards the close of another week. Month after month succumbs to a year and then many more years evaporate under the passage of our lives drifting imperceptibly within the steady decline of our great nation. Where not to be blamed for not noticing the cracks, worn paint, crumbling roads, graffiti filled concrete, and shabbily clothed hardened souls that form a gray backdrop to cities who've had their empathy vaporized under a beam of evil within the totalitarian economic society. Stark contrasts are only recognizable when contrasting a beginning with an ending.

Look around you, do you see it, do you feel it, its the faint pulse of a country slowing ever so audible one injustice, decline, old car, crumbling home, crime infested neighborhood, and sad citizen moving across a tapestry of selfishness inflicted by an evil concerned with nothing but power and one extra dollar.

Once a brilliant nation expanding the horizons of the possible with journeys to the moon and passion infused dreams of a future uninhibited by barriers - now a static greed infested corrupt capsule of a constricted vacant staring money machine that grinds endlessly. Nothing is left but the worship of our sacred ruby encrusted holy book of 'The Free Market' which instructs every one of us in the proper actions within the well orchestrated money society constructed by the business elites. Crumbing infrastructure, dreams, souls, or any other fluid of existence is acceptable given the cost that must be controlled per one of the most sacred commandments within this holiest of written works committed to memory by our Economic pastors. If you believe in a deviant form of equity, justice, community of citizens, and dreams - your sacrilege will not be tolerated by the Order of the Republican Party. You'll be punished for your sacrilegious acts against the one truth that all must live by - greed. Immediately, cleanse your minds of those deviant recollections of a nation before everything became something to be calculated within a spreadsheet of profit and loss.

Do you see it, some form is becoming clearer, is it a past with crisp clean lines, uncluttered by inhibitions in thought or destitute of spirit? We've transcended from a people of purpose to a rock solid still quiet subservient benign unquestioning inhibited mass under the direct control of a government infected by a contagion of evil. The few business elites having vanquished our beliefs are now in the process of eliminating the exercise of our free thoughts.

...An Unwelcome Future...
Click, click, click, the transgress of our time is moving from the present to a terrible future - it was one that they could have prevented. Did they even attempt to stop the continued harassment of those attempting to correct a destiny of complete slavery and totalitarian intolerance by comprehending passed the deception?

It must be written that we the people of this moment acted to cut out this totalitarian economic society from our nation and excise those who were most adept at absorbing everything into their swollen hands.

One more imperceptible click, don't you hear another, there must be another, oh no it's quiet - silence. We have reached the end game - nothing remains of the country that we once dreamed through and imagined was blessed to be the beacon of enlightenment.

Action...Stop...Greed...Think...Equity...Citizens...Community...Nation

These were their last thoughts before the chains were welded to the steel.

Dirt, grime, sacred cattle defecating on the streets, terrorist strikes aimed at the general population, and disease in their country of choice - we'll just have to purge our former citizens from the bowels of our country into their new found home in India or China. In their effort to cast aside our country the business elite have utilized every tool within their toolbox of deceit and corruption in order to subjugate their fellow citizens. They've lost the right to be counted among their fellow citizens. If their willing to destroy so many American families through the outsourcing and hiring of foreign workers to replace the jobs of hard working American citizens - these business elites should be shown the 'exit door' in mid flight on this journey of destitution they've charted for our nation.

Any corporate executives including board members who were involved in the destruction of American lives, communities, and their nation at an alter of greed should have their citizenship immediately revoked. Let them plead for citizenship with their new found friends in India, China, or wherever they've been engaged in their latest global pillage of wealth. They'll thoroughly enjoy their new found surroundings replete with all the trappings of a third world country or the absolute totalitarian government under true despot sudo communists. This represents not a warning but the promise from a people who have been battered and abused for far too long - we will engage our will - you're traitorous acts will be exposed beneath our light of justice. Prepare your luggage for a one way trip out of a country that you've despoiled beyond recognition - small towns boarded up, torn & worn down veterans and citizens, factories shuttered, working poor holding down 2-3 jobs, millions without healthcare, and citizen workers replaced by foreigners or having their jobs outsourced - the face of my country that has been distorted from continuous pain.

After throwing out these traitorous slugs in our effort to cleanse our nation of those who befouled everything that we once stood for we'll immediately replace the boards and executives of the effected firms with citizens who've been elected by the people. No longer will a business be considered some sacred entity designed solely for the interests of a few well connected elites but an economic creation that benefits the largest majority of our nation's citizens.

Those businesses that don't execute the will of the people should be nationalized. There is no excuse for a continuance of greed that forces our citizens into the desperate act of deciding between food, gas, or their prescription medicine in a roulette of utter despair - seize the billions upon billions of dollars from the most recalcitrant corporations such as oil firms.

Transfer those filthy billions of dollars that were obtained by businesses within this totalitarian economic society to the immediate needs of a citizenry that has been crushed under the weight of a corrupt system.

The boarding passes are now ready for those business elites who were traitors to their fellow citizens - please report to gate 13 your trip to hell is now cleared for departure. Have a wonderful time in your new found home - just remember you may never return.

Seeing the abject poverty moving in animated distress through the streets of his city made John very uncomfortable. He was always of the opinion that those who weren't working were essentially failures unworthy of recognition in a system that provided everyone with unlimited opportunities. To compound his discomfiture he was now seeing uniformed relics of a war that he supports sleeping under cardboard blankets beneath bridges where he used to jog by - that was before these apparitions started accumulating in ever greater numbers. Why didn't his buddies in the Defense Department simply ship these useless dregs out for enough tours of duty until they were completely expended? It just occurred to him that he'd have to increase his oil investments because that war was providing the hefty returns that were originally envisioned - with its continual festering of wounds in an already troubled Middle East.

Or better yet the government could just send in the National Guard to round up these deviants that were cluttering his choice outdoor spaces. Clearly, someone of his stature within the community was exceedingly more significant than these dredges that harbored ill will towards him and his fellow wealthy patrons of society. Didn't these creatures realize that he and his friends represented the refined crust of an American society already crumbling with mold? Why weren't the lobbyists that he paid good money to vanquishing this scum from his city? He resolved that he would contact Sandy Duncan tomorrow about how she hadn't been fulfilling her end of the bargain since his funding of her campaign. He had enough of her pandering to those idiots who thought that they had elected her, she would do his bidding or else he would disconnect the spigot of money that was flowing into her campaign war chest.

Since the closing of the local food bank it was even difficult to stop his Mercedes at a stop light without someone rushing towards his car attempting to clean the windows with rag and sprayer in hand. Did they really expect him to give them one penny in support of this nasty nuisance? One day he even had to open his window to extricate this scum from his car because he just started coughing uncontrollably all over his car. Granted this credent probably hadn't had any medical attention since he came back from Iraq (was wearing some worn out uniform) and possibly was exposed to something that ruined his lungs but why did he have to befoul his brilliantly clean car? Anyway, at least he made it to the fund raiser for the Republican Party for he really enjoyed the $5,000 evenings because they always flew in a top chef from New York who prepared the most exquisite delicacies.

Just yesterday his employees were demanding a raise even though he had informed the miscreants that they'd better 'toe the line' or else more of them would be replaced by those foreign workers he'd been shipping in from India. What were these slobs thinking given the demands that were being placed upon his bottom line by investors; clearly he'd scaled down his life style. He wasn't even able to fly the corporate jet to the Riviera three times a year and could now only afford two visits per year. Did they really consider that he'd give them a raise, he hadn't done it in 4 years - so why now? He was going to have to contact his HR manager tomorrow in order to draw up another list of terminations that would surely put the fear of god into those uncooperative serfs. Also, his quota of H1-B foreign workers was getting dangerously close to being exhausted therefore he'd also have to visit that committee up in the House of Representatives and impress upon these most compliant stooges that he simply needed a higher quota of foreign workers next quarter. They could delight their constituents with their marvelously espoused gospel readings from the book of 'The Free Market' while they cut their financial throats - that always worked wonders on that bunch of intellectually lazy working scum. They'd believe anything the media pumped down their throats - for that matter they'd been kicked around so much they reminded him of a dog that he once owned that would continually walk back towards him in its submissive slump ready to be booted once more by his strong swift leg.
