We have HAD ENOUGH!

An open letter to our elected public servants:

United States Senator Arlen Specter of Pennslyvania asks, "Where is the outrage?" I can tell you where the outrage is by quoting David Sabritt's letter to the Editor of NY Times, published today, Saturday, April 29:

"Many would agree that President Bush lacks the intellect, judgment and engagement with complex public issues that an effective administration needs in its leader. But we miss the point if we simply blame the president for being himself.

"Shame on the political machine that offered us a vacuous and mediocre candidate and marketed him (in both elections) by the manipulation of divisive symbols!

"Shame on those in both parties who lacked the courage, when it was needed, to expose this emperor's nakedness! Shame on all of us for not demanding much, much better!"

I would follow it up with a quote from former Democratic Congressman from Indiana Tim Roemer's OpEd piece, "Enough Already":

"AMERICANS have clearly had enough of the Bush administration's record: 7 in 10 say the nation is headed in the wrong direction."

We the people ARE outraged and

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

Throw the bums out!
