men and women fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

They voted to continue an Unrealistic Anti-drug Policy -- a

industry. They Voted to keep up the price of illegal
drugs outrageously high so that the people with the lowest ethical
standards (the drug peddlers) are also the wealthiest people on the
planet.
*
They voted exactly as
their religious leaders told them to vote.°
.
3) They Voted for
still More Government-sanctioned
Sleaze, Graft and Corruption:
*
They voted for government agents to be able to do anything
they want to do and then hide behind government imposed secrecy. (This
includes the ability to falsify election results.)

human history. They voted for a man who has his head in
economic Disneyland.

for the greatest financial deficit in the entire history of the
American Republic.

They voted for George Bush and then they
let him count
the votes
using secret computer programs that were under the control of

*
You voted for the team that spent $18,000,000 investigating Bill Clinton's sex
life in an attempt to destroy his
presidency.
*
You voted for a whole raft of sleazy mudslingers. Karl

immoral, mind-bending manipulation°
Rove is the master mind behind
"Resident" Bush and the
sleaziest, dirtiest, foulest smelling,
campaigning in all of American political
history.
*
They voted exactly as
their religious leaders told them to vote.°
.
4) They
voted for an increase in Environmental Destruction:
*
They voted for the last three percent of our virgin forests to

to pretend to be safeguarding your
environment.

contaminated drinking
water.
*
They voted to save the coal burning electricity
producers from having to spend the one

mercury which then rains down onto and
into everything-- lakes rivers,
animals, fish, and eventually into
humans.
*
They voted
to poison their own children's and
grandchildren's drinking water with additional even
more toxic levels of mercury.
Mercury is very damaging to the brains
of fetuses and young children.
* They voted for the world
to be gutted
of its natural resources and turned into a garbage dump.
* They voted for the
birth of Still More Humans in an already overcrowded world.
* They voted for the man with the most dismal environmental record of any president
in modern history -- a man who ignores and/or refutes respected and
verified scientific findings that stand between his multi-millionaire friends
and more profits .
*
They voted
to ignore every single one
of the dozens of now undisputable signs of
global warming.
* They voted
to increase the human birth rate. They voted for human
overpopulation which is causing global environmental disasters of proportions not
seen since the demise of the dinosaurs. In the face of this already-in-process disaster, they
voted for the anti-abortion
promoters who are denying the existence of a population problem and who
are proposing the birth of still more
people.
* They
voted to increase the species
extinction rate on Earth above the
estimated present level of one
per hour - - that is 24 extinctions each and every day, 168 extinctions per week,
720
extinctions pre month, and
8,760 extinctions per year. That’s
an extinction rate equaled only by the demise of the dinosaurs.
And, as you well know, EXTINCTION IS
FOREVER!)
*
You voted to increase the political power and influence of
ultra-conservative Christians who believe
that wars, chaos, and calamities are good things
because they will bring The
Rapture°
that much sooner.
*
They voted exactly as
their religious leaders told them to vote.°
.
5) They Voted for Safety at
the Expense of Liberty:
*
They voted
for John
Ashcroft, Carl Rove, Tom DeLay, and Dick
"the vice" Cheney .
*
They voted for
the so-called "Patriot
Act" which gives broad sweeping
powers to government
agents.
*
They voted exactly as
their religious leaders told them to vote.°
.
6) They Voted for More
Benefits for Multi-millionaires:
*
They voted for our congressmen and senators to be
bought, owned and controlled by big money interests.
*
They voted for
no billionaire to ever be left
behind.
*
They voted for the godless,
self-centered multi-millionaires who,
behind the scenes, own the structures
that control the Republican
Party. They voted to give
more power and money to the men who control:
the
international oil cartels,
the banking industry,
the tobacco peddlers,
the insurance industry,
the legal drug peddlers,
the illegal drug
peddlers,°
the media cartels,
the pharmaceutical industry, and
the military hardware industries.
They voted exactly as these
men wanted them to vote.° Can you find even one of these people who,
in his heart cares about "moral
values?"
*
They voted exactly as
their religious leaders told them to vote.°
.
7)
They Voted for War and
Violence As the Only Way to Solve Problems:
* They voted for
$200, 000,000,000 (two-hundred billion dollars) of our tax dollars spent
making war in a foreign country.
*
They voted for still
another 1,000 Americans to die in Iraq.
*
They voted to keep our military
overextended and thus make our country very vulnerable to a major
attack from a foreign nation.
*
They voted for
installing the non-functional star wars nuclear defense system.
*
They voted
for the son of former President George Bush Sr. In 1991,
George Sr. had U.S. forces thirty four kilometers (about twenty-one
miles) for Saddam Hussein's
palace. To the delight of those
who sell military hardware, George Sr. stopped their advance and allowed Hussein to remain in
power.
Had daddy done his job, the present war in Iraq would
never have happened. Hundreds of thousands of lives would
have been spared. Literally
Billions of your tax dollars would not have
gone to the military industrial
complex.
Imagine
where we would be today if that $200,000,000,000 had been spent on research to
find and alternate energy source that was neither fossil fuel or nuclear.

the page titled: Let
George Do It.°
*
They voted exactly as
their religious leaders told them to vote.°
.
8) They Voted for Bigotry And
for Making Religious Fairytales the Laws of the Land:
*
They
voted for forced
motherhood.
* They voted for
a coat hanger abortion system.°
*
They voted to force
unwilling women to become mothers,°
not only in the U.S., but all over the world, including places where many desperately
impoverished women will have no choice but to abandon their newly-born children and
allow them to starve to death or be eaten alive by a stray dog or a wild animal.
(How can promoting such cruel and mindless behavior be called
"pro-life?")
*
They voted to use government laws which
use intimidation, violence or
the threat of violence to force everybody to live by a religious fairytale.°
*
They voted for censorship.°
*
They voted for the global
gag rule°
which is about as far as one can get from sanity
and freedom of speech.

for hypocrisy.°
*
They voted
for anti-gay bigotry.°
*
You voted to destroy
the
delicate balance between church and state set
up by our Founding Fathers.°
*
They voted for the
creation of a Christian
theocracy in America°
*
They voted
for the marriage of Church and Sate. The
following quote is from Jay Bookman, Deputy
Editorial Page Editor for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
"There
is no case in recorded human history, regardless of
era or culture, in which religion and government have been
intertwined without eventually compromising basic human
freedoms." (Quote
printed in the (Los Angeles Area)
Daily News, Monday November 22, 2004, pg. 9)
*
They voted for a
distorted and bastardized version of fundamental
Christian theology.
*
They voted with their heads high up in
that place where the sun never
shines. They voted for
fundamental Christian
theology. They voted voted
with their minds turned off.
They voted out of fear.
*
They voted exactly as
their religious leaders told them to vote.°
.
.
But then, none of this matters,
anyway, because they voted as God told them to. And besides,
"the rapture" is coming soon, and they will simply be
lifted off what's left of the Earth and into heaven to be with
Jesus.
So let's all kneel now and
praise the Lord!
A born again, reformed sinner is finally in the White House.
.
.
And one
final question: If there is such a
being as The
Devil,° who do you
suppose he wants in the White House?
(__) Bush
/Cheney (__)
Kerry/Edwards
.
.
So
now that you see how many honest and well-intended Christians are being purposely misled, what
are you going to do about it? Do you think it just might be time for moderate
and reasonable Christians to take back Christianity from the
right-wing extremists?°
Please
pass this message along to your friends and neighbors.
Thank
you.
May
truth be in your heart, beauty at your side, and sunshine Son your
path.
