THE BOSTON STATEMENT

THE BUSH REGIME: A WAR ON AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

  • Bush has brought shame on American democracy in the eyes of a stunned world.

    • His seizure of power did not come about suddenly. The American right wing, backed by powerful corporations, has been crafting its takeover for decades. The Bush coup d’etat is a consummation of the anti-democratic political tradition that gave us McCarthyism, the Vietnam War, and Watergate.

    Even though Americans have voted for a Democratic Chief Executive for three consecutive presidential elections, the right wing now exercises almost complete control over the Federal Government. Corporate money rules the Republican Party and gags the Democratic Party as an effective opposition.

    Flaunting his illegal appointment to the Presidency, Bush is rapidly enacting an extremist agenda that jeopardizes our social and planetary survival. His regime, like his ascendancy to office, subverts democratic governance for the profit of special corporate interests and right-wing ideological aims.

    The Bush regime is a declaration of war on our democracy.  We are fighting back. We call for the citizenry to restore social justice and create a way of life that will sustain our planet.  We act out of love for our country and belief in its founding principles. Our goals:

    • Investigate Election 2000
    • Expose and prosecute the criminals
    • Impeach and disbar the Rehnquist 5, and remove them from the Court
    • Remove Bush, Cheney and their appointees from office
    • Reform our electoral system
      • We will not abdicate our rights.
      • We will not back down.
      • The will of the people must prevail.
