Mondale and Me (More FISA Revelations)
Cindy Sheehan
I was flying back to the states from Kristiansand, Norway, after
receiving an award and was flying on the leg from Oslo to London. The
flight's purser pointed out one of my "countrymen" sitting in 2D. I
had already been recognized on the flight by the crew because I had
won the award and been on Norwegian TV. The purser pointed to seat 2D
and told me that it was Walter Mondale.
I looked and did a double take, because he did not look so much like
Mondale from about 10 feet away. I was eventually convinced that it
was Walter Mondale (Former Senator from Minnesota; Jimmy Carter's VP,
Democratic presidential Candidate in 1984 and Ambassador to Japan
during the Clinton administration). So being the shrinking violet that
I am, I immediately went to introduce myself.
After we established who I was and that he supported "Nancy" even
though I was a "wonderful person," he looked at me and said: "Boy
wasn't the FISA thing awful?" I said, "Yes, it's awful and my opponent
supported it." He returned with: "Oh, I don't think she was really for
it." My last question went unanswered: "Well if she was against it,
why would she allow it to go to a vote, as Speaker, and then vote for
it, as a member?" Note: On many controversial votes, Pelosi often does
not vote, on the FISA Act she voted the wrong way.
Our chat was then over because he said: "Nice to meet you, good luck
with everything," and looked back down at the paperwork he was
reading. I had been dismissed for asking a question that has no
reasonable answer. Nancy allowed the Act to come to a vote and voted
for it, against the wishes of our liberal district, because SHE WAS
FOR RETROACTIVE IMMUNITY. Not only are telecoms some of Pelosi's
biggest donors, she has been in on the illegal wiretapping crimes from
the beginning. As a member of the Democratic minority leaderhip's
"Gang of Four" with Jane Harman (D-CA), Steny Hoyer, (D-MD), Sen. Jay
Rockefeller (D-WV), not only was the gang briefed on Bush's FISA
felonies, they were alsobriefed on torture. There was and is a
rightful outcry on the FISA abuses (if the crimes weren't
retroactively legalized, the penalites for breaking FISA laws are
steep), but to me, torture is a crime against humanity and, in my
opinion, that issue, and lying to a nation about going to war and
funding war, are the ones on which the Gang of Four and the Bush Crime
Mob should be held accountable.
Ever wonder why "impeachment" has always been inexplicably "off" of
Pelosi's table?" Ever wonder why the most criminal and corrupt
administration, in this country's long and checkered history that is
liberally peppered with corruption and violence, is going to walk away
and be allowed to live the rest of their lives in relative comfort and
ease? Ever wonder why Pelosi's Congress has an approval rating under
double digits? It's because the twin parties of corruption are the
"Lawmakers" and the "Lawbreakers." How can Mondale credibly say that
Pelosi did not "support" the legislation when she voted "Yea?" Did he
mean that it is common for one to sell out his/her constituents and
his/her principles when money and crime and punishment are involved?
Walter Mondale (a man whom I voted for three times) has been a
political insider for generations and would not even broach the
subject of accountability with me. Ever wonder why the system was
allowed to decay so far that it appears that only a miracle can save
it now from total socio-economic destruction?
This nation is in dire straits partially because of blind allegiance
to a two-party monopoly (I used to say "duopoly," but what's the use?)
that only exists to perpetuate itself and the unscrupulous system that
supports it. That system built of popsicle sticks and set on a shaky
foundation will soon go the way of all Empires unless our "leadership"
becomes more responsive to the people's needs and less concerned with
their bank accounts and personal power trips.
"Change" will not come from inside the monopoly. How much more proof
do we need?
Vote for true change.
Vote for Cindy.
