Call in The National Guard & Bring Back The Marines

I'm not kidding. I'm not. Our country is in the middle of the war. And I'm not talking about Bush's war over in Iraq. I'm talking about Bush's war that he started here in the US. Crime is now running rampant. You think I'm kidding? Do you know any college students? Do you have any idea about how bad crime is on some of the best college campuses in the USA? It's bad, very bad. The poor are getting poorer, and they are getting desparate. As a result, there have been numerous hold ups of students in the last few weeks and school just started.

It's Bush's war because he closed his eyes while all of his buddies had their hands in the cookie jar at some of the top financial institutes in the USA. The investment bankers and portfolio managers bundled worthless packages. Ponzi schemes is more like it. Don't even get me going on the real estate crisis. And what's happening? The stock market is tumbling. The real estate market is depressed. Middle class Americans are taking a big hit. They are loosing jobs. If they are in retail, profits are down, way down. If middle class isn't spending, then the people on the lower economic rung are affected too, especially those in the manufacturing and service industry.

It's a circle, a vicious circle. And while most of those top level executives walked away with millions, all of us are left to suffer in this economy.

We had the national guard in during the riots of the 1960s. (OK, I know Kent State was a big disaster....), but we need the military guarding the citizens of the US.

So, dear President Bush, you did this. Your and your friends in higher power, and the lobbyists who wooed the congress, did this. Now, get us out of it. If you can't protect all of us, then for God's sake, at least protect our kids. Protect the future leaders who learned a dear lesson watching you destroy this country the last 8 years. Get protection on our college campuses now, and our high schools. Protect the kids. Let them walk without being held up at gun point.

And to anyone who thinks I'm kidding, well I've got one thing to say to you: OPEN YOUR EYES.
