U.S. to merge with Mexico and Canada?
[Read the article: U.S. to merge with Mexico and Canada?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have been hearing about this, for some time. It is quite disturbing to me, that this Administration seems to do whatever they like, however they want to do it.
I have not yet heard anything from the Congress on this matter - or, are they also in favor of such a union? Further, I believe there are an awful lot of American citizens who will have something to say about this matter. I am absolutely opposed to such an idea, and feel very betrayed by this Administration!
We have been consistently lied to, our Constitution has been 'reinterpreted' at the whim of those in the administration, the so called war in Iraq has been a huge mistake - built also on lies, in my opinion, and elections bought and sold at every corner...
It is my fervent desire and hope that all Americans, everywhere, will stand up, speak out, and do something to stop the madness which has infiltrated our Country! At this point, I don't even know for certain if a simple surge of voters will make a difference. I DO know, I am mad as hell, and will do whatever I can to stop this insanity!

"Even Richard Nixon knew it was time to resign."
[Read the article: "Even Richard Nixon knew it was time to resign"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]When I heard and observed Keith Olbermann's commentary on the World Trade Center - reconstruction - it became abundantly clear, here is someone with whom I can finally relate!
Since then, I have been a very faithful watcher of MSNBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann. It is so refreshing to view and listen to someone with whom I feel a real connection.
Thank you Keith!
It is so refreshing - a relief even, to hear, (watch) a news commentator who is willing to speak truth's without fear of recrimination, or resignation - (firing!) Thank you MSNBC!
I am also quite impressed with the "Salon Magazine" as well. Apparently, I am a 'liberal' or, as I like thinking of myself, a 'progressive.' Since there seems to be a need to label each ones' belief systems, I thus label my own.
I only know for certain I have opposed injustice, at every turn in my life-time. I have fought for the 'underdog' in so many circumstances - and seek justice for all - unlike those who seem to believe it's "Just Us"!
As time has taught me, I can only speak my mind in any particular issue, as there is made an avenue to do so.
This seems to be such a time, and such an avenue. Thank you, Salon!
Alas! I am one really angry American! Much like a Mother Lion willing to protect her cubs at whatever cost, I feel a need to protect my Country!
It has been abundantly clear, we are experiencing a moment in our Hisherstory in which "We the People" means more than many of us have ever imagined. It means, for me, I must make my opinion known, and my voice heard, in order to sustain the viability of our national treasure; the Constitution of the United States of America! Certainly, inclusive with this treasured document, is the "Bill of Rights," which is also being threatened, and equally abused.
It is a time in which, we must take our citizenship very seriously, and be willing to put a stop to the madness which is now, more than ever before in my lifetime, negatively affecting our daily lives.
It is time for Congress to take a stand! It is time for the American People to take a stand! If, each one will consider the strength of our nation, as long as we remain a collective body, we will prevail! President Lincoln said in a speech, of which I do not have full recollection, "...United we stand, divided, we fall..." I do so remember those words, and the impact which they have had in my life.
When G.W. Bush said the words' "...I am a Uniter, not a Divider..." I nearly choked as my own breath, burst from my body with a huge gasping, ha! As nearly everything I have witnessed, has brought enormous divisions amongst our people.
Ultimately, we are a Nation of laws. A Nation which has been deluged with lawbreakers, liars, and secretive decision making. We are a proud people. Proud of our heritage, proud of our hisherstory, and proud to call ourselves Americans.
In the past (5) five plus years, I have felt a deep sense of loss, shame, and a gnawing sense of embarrassment to call myself American! I have never previously felt this way. I can honestly say, I have never felt so ashamed of the person residing in OUR White House, nor those at his side! I am one who continues to share these words: I want MY country back!
