[Vision2020] It is time. It is beyond time.

[Jim Meyer]

Finally, someone has put into clearly spoken words that which I know to 
be true but cannot persuasively say.

Phil Nisbet, the link below explains better than I how the political 
party you make pains not be centrist about  has been largely co-opted by 
the crazy and unreasonable. The Republican party as you knew it is dead. 
Questioning the administration and all of its parts is both patriotic 
and prudent. Perhaps you are entirely correct on the mining issue. That 
does not take away from the greater issues that are crying to be 
addressed..

Pat Kraut, this explains better than I why George Bush does not deserve 
a pass.

To everyone else, please enjoy this speech. It is a fine example of true 
statesmanship, something I thought didn't  much exist today. It is 
probably one of the best speeches you will hear in a long time and it is 
very, very relevant to our future as citizens in a democracy, whether 
you are Republican or Democrat. So why isn't it on prime time TV? 
Interesting......

After hearing the speech, think about encouraging congress to investigate:

As I mentioned before, evil isn't that people make bad decisions or 
leaders make mistakes. Evil is that an apathetic majority let them get 
away with it. It is time to get off our collective behinds. Will you do 
your part?
