Forty grand is a lot of money for the typical family. That's the difference between keeping or losing a house, your childrens' future college money, or the $50 billion transportation jobs program Obama just promised but probably won't be able to deliver, with balking even from his own party. Why does it matter that we were lied to, so many years later? Because that's why you are poor. It's not the immigrants. It's the nearly $3 trillion and counting according to economist Joe Stiglitz.
Fortunately a hardy few are still on the Bush gang like a bad cold that won't go away. One is Vincent Bugliosi's project, which seeks but one DA from a dead soldier's county to file murder charges against Bush. Another is law school professor Francis Boyle, who has filed a criminal complaint in the Hague against George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet, Condoleezza Rice, and Alberto Gonzales, and is sheparding it up the ladder. His website is Bush to the Hague.
$30,000-$40,000 straight out of the average family's pocket, and the deaths of thousands of Americans as great as Tillman, who despite his NFL fame did not want to be treated differently from any other soldier.
Another problem is The Tillman Movie isn't being shown at all that many civilian theaters either. I was told by an AMC Theater manager that the way to change this was to make "wall" postings on AMC Theaters Facebook page, asking them to bring it to a city. Seems top management follows the Facebook and responds. There is also a Facebook group which pushes for wider distribution of the film.
Here is a classic video made by those who opposed (really opposed) Bush during his second term. As the Tillman movie shows, it is still relevant today.
