Some thoughts on America

As we travel here in South East Asia, it becomes apparent how many freedoms and liberties we take for granted in America. We have been travelling in some communist countries like Laos and Cambodia and the people often are very restricted with what they can read, print, or proclaim. Demonstrations against the government are forbidden and can land peaceful protestors in jail for years if not the rest of their lives.
This is why we feel like the rights that we have in America need to be exeercised or the people who fought so hard for them did so in vain. We are appalled at the reports we have received from home about how George Bush and the government handled the tragedy in Louisiana. We are also concerned about the pending Supreme Court nominations which could easily take away some of the freedoms and constitutional rights we enjoy today. This is a pivotal time right now and these decisions could shape the America of tommorow. We hope that you will excercise your rights to question, dissent, and demand a better system where people are treated equally regardless of race or sex.
With the pending Supreme Court nominations, many feel a woman's right to choose could be put in jeopardy. We urge you to learn more about the issue and if you would like to protect that right for yourself, your sisters, friends, girlfriends, or wives you can visit these websites. Knowledge is power.
