Start Restoring America Now

The restoring of America should get started now if Congress was up to it. Over 90 cities across the land have adopted impeachment resolutions calling on Congress to begin hearings.

The silence of Congress is noticable everywhere. It's a long road ahead and we can talk all we want, make phone calls, send letters and emails, protest and demonstrate all year long, but if the 110th Democratic Congress won't even hold a simple hearing the restoration of America can wait.

that's what america needs HARVARD

let me tell it and state it for my beloved country

do you think that the WAR ON TERROR which brought in the Patriot ACTS I and II was just a temporary measure....

do you think that the "VICHY" behaviour by BOTH the republican and demorcratic parties is 'synchronicity'...

THIS IS FOR KEEPS harvard children

... life after bush.... did they say, 'life after bush'

AMERICA action is for the PRESENT

ANYONE, ANYONE who tells you they want to do something next week is DELUSIONAL

children at HARVARD - you have some catching up to do

history is at the front door: the door it creaks: behind it is disaster upon disaster for our beloved America AND its real life children

this country needs to put on their thinking caps - plan for the best, act on the best, and keep their stash of heroic efforts under the radar and pray to God Almighty

and thank god for this website which has everyday, noon, night, and evening worked tirelessly to free our country from this tryanny that will not walk away quietly

as for the paid bloggers of the tyranny: AMERICA has her own bloggers who get paid with the blessings of liberty

God Bless the USA

home of the brave, land of the free
