Anyone Doubt We Were In The Grip of a Bushco Dictatorship?

Excerpts from the Jan. 22nd edition of the Yuma (AZ) Sun – Letter to the Editor

Stop Abuses Of Federal Agency –
-------------
“ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is violating our constitutional rights. They are stopping you and asking you ‘Are you an American citizen? Where are you from and where are you going?’ At their inspection stations they may look you over and wave you through. They have, or had, a sign in the California Port of Entry stating, ‘You will do as we tell you’. Don’t question them or you will get into trouble.”

-------------

“I went to San Diego from Yuma in January 2008 on !-8 and was stopped three times at ICE inspection stations. From Yuma, you cannot go north, east or west without being checked by ICE. You can go into Mexico with no trouble but look for almost anything when returning to the USA”. – (which is to be expected.)

--------------

“I pray and hope the new president can stop this.

“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
