Call on Republicans to repent and rebuild their honor. Call upon them to recapture the noble tradition of their party and to reject this Bushite abomination. This is not what a man of integrity, like Barry Goldwater, believed in. All these lies! Imagine what he’d say, or what Lincoln would say, or Teddy Roosevelt or Eisenhower, if confronted with this Bushite regime.

And call upon the Democrats to cease their fearful and shallow political calculations and boldly confront the lawlessness of this regime. Exhort them to show the same kind of courage and determination that --in protection of these same democratic values and principles-- an earlier generation demonstrated in taking the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima.

And call upon all the candidates for the presidency in 2008 --Democratic and Republican-- to repudiate the usurpatious claims to unchecked power made by this presidency, and to tell the American people what they will do to repair the systematic damage this presidency has done to our laws and to our democratic political culture.
