Where are the Democrats to speak up against this?

Frist: "Gay Marriage and Flag Burning are Highest Priorities"


We have MUCH bigger problems than gay marriage and flag burning in this country, one of our biggest is Frist himself. I want to know where are the Democratic voices to speak up against this?

Who is defending my Constitutional Rights?

Who is making sure I can continue to peacably assemble, or practice my religion without the governments interference?
(Amendment 1)

Who is defending my protections against unlawful search and seizure, and ensuring the government does not take that right away?
(Amendment 4)

Who is ensuring the governmenet does not haul me or anyone else to prison without my right to a trial.
(Amendment 5)


Who is defending my right to confront my accusers at any trial, and to be represented by my own lawyer?
(Amendment 6)

All of the above are from the Bill of Rights, and have been ignored by the Bush admin, against US citizens.

They have brought religion to the polititcal forefront, only to gain votes.

They have created "Free Speech Zones," outside of which you will be arrested for protesting in the presence of the president.

They have authorized warrantless wiretapping of the phones and possibly even internet traffic of US citizens.

And they have even hauled US citizens away without a trial, or counsel of any kind.



This has to stop, it must be stopped. We the people of the United States that value true freedom and democracy must stand up and not allow this to happen. We must vote out every single person in both the House and Senate that has ever voted for anything the Bush admin has done, or has not said anything when it needed to be said. Every single person that has displayed they have no backbone needs to be voted out because they have shown they lack the character and moral courage to lead the people of the United States and to represent the values this country was founded on.

I want everyone to be in the streets protesting and I want everyone to make sure there voices are heard come election time.

NO MORE OF THE SAME, DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN ALIKE!
