I'm going to put this all together and make it easy to do something... even if it does feel like an exercise in futility, at least we're doing something...

Here's a rough draft I worked out of the comments (thanks for the help):

"The leadership of the United States of America has committed high crimes and treason against the American people. Here is my list of charges against the Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and White House:

1) Used false and misleading intelligence to start wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
2) Have violated the Constitution by holding US citizens without charges.
3) Have violated the Constitution by tapping our calls without warrants.
4) Have violated the Geneva Conventions by waging wars of aggression for profit.
5) Have violated the Geneva Conventions by torturing enemy combatants in Abu Ghraib.

It absolutely blows me away that you could approve the FISA Amendments Act. The disgusting abuse of power and rampant corruption in this once great republic has gone too far. How could you support such a thing?

Is there no end to this madness? Does anyone "up there" care about the future of this country and its people at all?"

- ask for a reply.

Another sad day in the history of America. Damn shame...
