igloo Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 :laugh: Madonna Urges Others to Support Clark; 'Future is At Risk' Wed Jan 07 2004 23:59:59 ETI've never done this before. But life is about taking risks is it not? I know that people seem to pay attention to everything I do. Big or Small. Ridiculous or Sublime. So I am hoping they pay attention to this: I am supporting General Wesley Clark for President. Not only as a "celebrity" but as an American citizen and as a mother. I want my children to grow up with the same opportunities that I had à to know and understand what's going on in the world and to travel that world safely and with pride. Now I'm asking you to join me. I am writing to you because the future I wish for my children is at risk. Our greatest risk is not terrorism and it's not Iraq or the "Axis of Evil." Our greatest risk is a lack of leadership, a lack of honesty and a complete lack of consciousness. Unfortunately our current government cannot see the big picture. They think too small. They suffer from the "what's in it for me?" syndrome. The simple truth is that the current administration has squandered incredible opportunities to bring the world together, to promote peace in regions that have only known war, to encourage health in places that are ravaged with disease, to make us more secure by living up to our principles at home and abroad. The simple truth is that the policies of our current administration do not reflect what is great about America. Thankfully, there is now a candidate running for President who is committed to ensuring that our country lives up to its promise and its people. He is a decorated soldier and a respected diplomatic leader, who has already given 34 years to his country. He is smart and he is good. He has worked hard to get where he is and he is a national hero. A perfect example of the American Dream. I've never aligned myself with a presidential candidate during the primary season. But this time, the stakes are too high, we have too much to lose and there is so much work to be done. I'm supporting General Wesley Clark in 2004 and have committed to do all that I can to help his campaign in the coming months. I ask you to visit his website today to learn about his candidacy, his vision for our nation and the many ways you can get involved. I've looked at all the Democratic candidates. I respect them all for their dedication and patriotism. But I'm supporting Wes Clark because in him I see the qualifications, character and vision that we so desperately need. We are a country with incredible promise. As Americans we enjoy opportunities like no other. Unfortunately we take these opportunities for granted. You may not agree with everything I say or do, but whether you're rich or poor, young or old, black or white, gay or straight, I know you share my concern and recognize the need for change. Even if you've never been involved with politics before, please consider joining with me. If you can give, give generously. If you can volunteer time, get involved now. And if you can vote, this time... make sure you do. Wesley Clark has asked for my support and now I'm asking for yours Madonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marksimons Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 "If Karl Rove is watching today, Karl, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I am going to provide tax cuts to ease the burdens for 31 million American families - and lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty - by raising the taxes on 0.1 percent of families -- those who make more than $1,000,000 a year. You don't have to read my lips, I'm saying it. And if that makes me an 'old-style' Democrat, then I accept that label with pride and I dare you to come after me for it." - Wesley Clarkaside from that, I'm reminded of bill hicks:"go watch fucking maddona you fucking idiot!"

siceone Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 So much for the principle of Equality in america Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksimons Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 ahahah america... equality... yougottabekidding me...admittedly, it's a joke in most societies, but the myth of america striving for equality is well, an odd one...the constitution was written by quite well off land owning white men for quite well off land owning white men.the system has been skewed in favour of the rich for quite some time...however, as interested as I am in America I can't be arsed to get into really detailed arguments about taxation right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
