UNreported Bush Scandals with Supporting Web Links
1. Bush's character issues and his prior business conduct.
2. Cheney's business dealings.
3. Cheney's health and the failure to provide complete and truthful medical information.
4. Cheney's past business conduct. The SEC inquiry may include his getting rich, while other shareholders lost, because he knew about the financial problems with pending asbestos claims but failed to report this information.
5. The ACLU has filed a lawsuit alleging civil right violations in squelching dissent at presidential and vice-presidential appearances.
6. Another lawsuit involving Bush's executive order dismantling the Presidental Records Act may show that his illegal actions (presidents cannot overturn laws with executive orders) were actually intended to cover up for his father or members of his own administration who served in the Reagan or Bush I administration.
7. Campaign contributors - the distinction between bribery and gifts of money.
8. Extraordinary secrecy surrounds more than just the development of a national energy policy that are benifiting from the Bush II administration's concealing business, enviornmental, health, and safety information.
9. Bush and Cheney failed in their efforts to block a 9/11 inquiry, and if Cheney's stall in addressing terrorism had an ulterior motive, or Bush and Cheney negligently ignored warnings, it will be a scandal, worse than Watergate.
10. Bush and Cheney's failure to update the existing noncontinuation of government planning (including the presidential succession law) already evidences nonfeasance, but if we learn they have improperly politicized the existing operational plans, it too could result in a scandal.
11. Bush mislead the Congress regarding war with Iraq.
12.The leaking of Valerie Plame Wilson's covert CIA identity, which is being investigated.

Quotes and Notes
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.. . . This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953.
The 5th Amendment:
No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.
In 1918, Theodore Roosevelt said, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
Bush Issues - for those of you who have endorsed President George W. Bush
In the first few months of his presidency and beyond, Bush:
- Engineered an enormous tax cut
- Withdrew from the Kyoto treaty on global warming
- Shifted domestic conservation and energy policy
- Announced a unilateral termination of the nuclear test ban treaty with Russia
- Went ahead the missile shield program (Star Wars).
- Shifted American foreign policy away from the consensus internationalistic policies that had been followed by presidents of both parties.
- Cap on jury awards on malpractice lawsuits
- Tightened personal bankruptcy laws
- Nixing ergonomics regulation
Congress, Read It This Time - The Patriot Act
RIGHTS AND THE NEW REALITY: Perhaps the creepiest provisions of the Patriot Act are those greatly strengthening the power of FBI agents to demand personal data on ordinary Americans from telephone and Internet companies, banks, libraries and bookstores.

Posted Sunday, August 8, 2004
Next month, President Bush plans to unveil a broad new mental health plan called the “New Freedom Initiative.” Never mind that it couldn’t have less to do with freedom; if you’re a thinking American, this initiative should scare the hell out of you.

Bruce Bartlett, a domestic policy adviser to Ronald Reagan and a treasury official for the first President Bush, told me recently that ''if Bush wins, there will be a civil war in the Republican Party starting on Nov. 3.'' The nature of that conflict, as Bartlett sees it? Essentially, the same as the one raging across much of the world: a battle between modernists and fundamentalists, pragmatists and true believers, reason and religion.

RAGE! by Lonna Gooden VanHorn, www.opednews.com
Because the American people are ill-served and ill-informed by a pathetic, fawning press more concerned about their “bottom line” and losing “access” to the movers and shakers of government than providing the American people with the information they need to make informed decisions, the most dishonest, dishonorable, immoral, and worst of all, staggeringly incompetent president in my lifetime will serve a second term, which he won? stole? because of his despicable “fear and smear” campaign and the laughingly absurd notion that he shares our “values.”

The Bush Whores, How Much Propaganda is Enough for America?
So, we have yet another example of George Bush taking your tax money, buying a media opinion, to then try and convince you (and Congress in this case) about a plan he knows won’t float on it’s own. Are you outraged yet? Are you disgusted yet? If not, let’s discuss Michael McManus..... Read complete article ...

Democracy for Sale, The Purchasing of Public Opinion
Now, we have a media that can be bought. It was bought to sell you Medicare, it was bought to sell you NCLB and coming soon, it will be bought to sell you Bush’s social security scam. There are only two questions left for you to answer. Who will be selling it to you, and is it time to tell George W. Bush that your opinion is not for sale? Is it time for all of us to say democracy is not for sale?

In The Clearing Stands a Boxer, Score One For Democracy
Votergate 2004 has reached the mainstream. In the early afternoon today a Congresswoman from Ohio stood up to protest the seating of the Electors from Ohio, and this time, a Senator stood up with her. This time, democracy actually worked. A politically dangerous move, meant nothing to Barbara Boxer, who stood up and said, “As we are shedding the blood of our military to this end, we must realize that we lose so much credibility when our own electoral system needs so much improvement.” Amen Senator Boxer, God bless America.

"You can always tell who a person is by his politics."
Powerful warning issued by an earlier Supreme Court following the Civil War: (Page 65-66, America on Trial. Inside the legal battles that transformed our nation, by Alan. M. Dershowitz)
[Our Constitution] foresaw that troublous times would arise, when rulers and people would become restive under restraint and seek by sharp and decisive measures to accomplish ends deemed just and proper; and that the principles of constitutional liberty would be in peril, unless by irrpealable law ...
This nation ... has no right to expect that it will always have wise and humane rulers, sincerely attached to the principles of the Constitution. Wicked men, ambitious of power, and hatred of liberty and contempt of law, may fill the place once occupied by Washington and Lincoln, and if this right [to suspend provisions of the Constitution during the great exigencies of government] is conceded, and the calamities of war again befall us, the dangers to human liberty are frightful to contemplate.
Supreme Court of the United States of America
