Contacting elected officials about issues, redressing grievances, or proposing legislation to make a freer country out of a police state, can cause stress and worse in the aftermath of having believed in the system. Fearing being toasted in a Police State causes stress. If any of you out their have lodged a police misconduct complaint, gone to court, or tried to expose someone rich and powerful for wrongdoing, you might have found out how free and fair America really is, or isn't.
I told two Republican State Senators in Connecticut that I planned on suing the Connecticut State Police for violating my civil rights by refusing to protect and serve, enforcing laws in downtown areas, refusing to answer calls, take complaints, and making threats against citizens who lodged complaints. I proposed Civilian Oversight of Police. I ended up minus $500,000 in real estate, my small business, my family, my home, credit, health insurance, retirement, the sum total of my life's work, and no real future, to be sentenced to a year in prison for resisting being beaten up by a police informant on my own property.
Anyone who strives for their entire life, starts raising a family, is reaching their goals, and the rug is pulled out from under their feet, seeing that all that has been taught about their country is just cruel propaganda, might never be productive and taxpaying again if thrown in jail, held as a political prisoner in the US. Ritt Goldstein, also, proposed Civilian Oversight of Police to Connecticut legislators, and then fled to Sweden, seeking political asylum being so terrorized by police.
Maybe blogging, writing here on OpEdNews.com and trying to expose the growing American Police State will result in your life looking like this, with this as your future.
If the US Constitution doesn't really apply, if you can get railroaded to prison for proposing legislation to elected officials, Americans should be taught this, there would be less stress, more compliance, and Americans wouldn't dare test Free Speech which isn't really free. Going through show elections for puppets is just wasteful. There would be no reason for any figure to pretend to be US President and the war corporations, Black Water, and the Banksters could all rule out from behind the curtain.
I met and talked to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now and recently viewed Naomi Wolf's video "End of America" interview. It basically expresses the views I have come upon after discovering that America is a Police State. I highly recommend viewing what Ms. Wolf has to say. I could never say it, or write it, as well myself.
