Earlier today I had the honor of visiting a group of people who have decided to stand up and peacefully protest against the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. They set up a tent city on the lawn near the Millican Administration Building on the University of Florida campus, and me being a pro-Kerry person, I was intrigued. They were exremely friendly and wonderful people and I have to applaud them on their dedication to demonstrate against this unjust administration.

According to the first article of the United States Constitution, the first in the 10 Bill of Rights:

In recent months, I have seen our current administration continually violate the first amendment, such as the case in where three teachers were thrown out at a Bush rally for wearing a shirt that read "Protect Our Civil Liberties", which the staff called 'obscene'.

When asked what made them decide to protest against the Bush administration on campus, they answered that the soldiers in Iraq were dying, and for what? For money. Also, they oppose a constitutional amendment that Bush tried to push that would ban gay/lesbian marriages. I was running out of time so I couldn't ask them more questions, but all in all it was a pleasure to talk to them. My hat goes off to them.

I want to get the word out about everything that Bush did to us that is just so wrong. Over the next few days I'm going to put together a laundry list of links and references to as many articles I can find that exposes Bush for the lying fraud that he is. I have never felt so strongly about anything political until Bush came into the picture, and I'm glad I realized how badly he's screwing us.
