Our constitution provides for us Americans to have a government by, for, and of the people. But regretably, every time the Republicans asume power, our government becomes the tool of BIG industry and the very rich.

Specifically, former President Eisenhower warned all of us about the corrupted power of the Military Industrial Complex, which is always promoting war to enable them to sell weaponry and rip billions of dollars in the process.

We, Americans, created and provided a home to the United Nations, whose main objective was to resolve disputes among nations and avoid war. But the Republican leadership, beginning with the President, are always descrediting the U.N. and creating confrontation many times with countries that have not attacked us. And, many times in search for oil to satisfy the "requests" of the large energy industries, etc.

Instead of diplomacy they lead us with arrogance, as a nation, and use lies, threats, intimidation, etc. to provoke other countries into confrontation. Good examples are Iran, Syria, Norh Koera, and Venezuela. Accordingly, it is about time that we Americans stand up to the failed policies of our Republican leaders and begin to demand effective diplomacy and accountability for a better future for the community of nations, and very especially for our own people here in our America. We need to regain our democratic form of government before it is too late. No less!
