To the Members of the US Congress -

I'm extremely alarmed at the Newsweek article on MSNBC today, and related articles earlier this week, indicating that the Bushites have asked Ashcroft, through Ridge's department, to look into legal precedents (as they did for torture earlier) that would enable them to justify the suspension or postponement of our nation's democratic elections in November.

I have been predicting to those who would listen for over two years now that if the 2004 election is close, the Bushites would rig the system to enable them, through the use of Diebold voting machines and similar devices manufactured by corporations extremely loyal to the Bushites, to steal a second consecutive democratic election. In states throughout the US the Florida chad fiasco has been used to justify statewide contracts to Diebold and other Bush supporters to install machines that leave no paper trail (no way to prove our votes) and which can be easily broken into (per recent studies) in about 15 seconds by operatives. Obviously, citizens who love democracy should be alarmed at the implications. In a relatively close election (say, within a few million votes), the Bushites can easily make the winning votes simply "disappear" in a few key districts nationwide and steal the next election.

However, in an election in which the vote spread is significant, e.g. a projected landslide victory for the Kerry-Edwards ticket, I've predicted for more than a year that the Bushites would be unwilling to peacefully surrender the White House, and that they would obviously use the same tactic -- I am convinced (if you aren't, read: "The New Pearl Harbor") -- that worked so well for them on Sept. 11, 2001: They would once again engineer a politically strategic attack on the USA and, once again, blame Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda for the attack.

For several months now I've been convinced that in a scenario where Bush-Cheney were to be soundly defeated, they would probably arrange through secret operatives in the DIA, private security forces, or other black ops to detonate a "dirty bomb" (radiological weapon) in a major urban area, probably LA, SF, NY or possibly Miami or Chicago. I personally wouldn't put it past them to make the Democratic National Convention "ground zero" for this attack!!! The official line would blame the attack on al Qaeda and be used as a pretext (just as 9/11 was used as a pretext for the Bushites private oil grab in Afghanistan and Iraq) to suspend the democratic election and give the Bushites a convenient excuse to perhaps even declare a state of martial law in the country, including the presumed enactment of even far more sinister legislation further depriving innocent Americans of our civil liberties.

Now, to my great alarm, it's obvious, if you read the recent news, that the Bushites are panicking about the election and have aggressively begun a campaign this week to implement this second more alarming option. Today's Newsweek article indicates that, under the auspices of Ridge's department, the Bushites are actively preparing to suspend the elections and will likely attempt to enact emergency legislation of some sort for the very reasons I've been indicating. Through the news media, they are obviously initiating an attempt to condition the masses to accept the inevitability of a major attack and are actively seeking a legal basis to justify postponing or suspending the election. Since they will be responsible for the attack, they can predict it with absolute certainty. And when it occurs, they will proclaim themselves soothsayers and prophets of the first order!

This is an exceedingly alarming new development. I believe the most dangerous moment in the history of our nation is fast approaching -- at least the most dangerous in my lifetime, and since McCarthy. But the peril seems much greater to me than that posed by that self-righteous Republican demagogue. If the Democratic leadership will not stand up and be counted on the side of true democrats in this country and the world over, I'm deeply concerned that the country will inevitably slide down the slippery slope into a state of violence and perhaps even open civil war.

These men -- Bush, Cheney, Perle, Feith, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz -- are the most evil men to ever seize power in this land. And they MUST be stopped. They are the greatest traitors in the history of our once great nation, and they should all be exposed for the traitors and criminals they are, judged, and -- some say -- executed for their high crimes and treason. Forget impeachment. In more than one person's private opinion, these men should be publicly hanged.

As citizens, we are obliged first to use the democratic rights and privileges and methods guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Yes, we must exercise our votes, and we must urge our leaders to solve the problems peacefully within the framework given by the Founding Fathers. But if the votes can be "disappeared" (or don't count because the Bushites suspend democracy altogether), and our leaders don't SPEAK UP about WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON HERE (i.e., a political coup and a dictatorship by a conspiratorial cabal calling itself the Project for a New American Century, in broad daylight, with the public's apparent approval), what chance do we have of saving our country, our heritage, our ideals and our future?

Will it take our own version of the Night of the Long Knives to wake us from our denial? How long before innocent Americans, perhaps for writing letters such as this very letter, will be "disappeared" by Ashcroft's minions into secret prisons in this very land, held without due process or accountability, and even tortured for no other reason that speaking up for oneself or as a "training exercise" for high-paid Halliburton security operatives? Can you assure me with absolute certainty that this is not already occurring today? Right here in our own country? No, I'm sad to say, you cannot.

My ancestors were among the first pilgrims to arrive on these shores. Eight of my family members followed Roger Williams to found the second American colony in Rhode Island. I believe that at least one ancestor may have been a Founding Father and signatory to the Constitution. My family was torn apart and fought each other during the American Revolution and once again during the Civil War. Our family includes Ulysses S. Grant and Commodore Perry among other famous Americans. So you can see I have a personal stake in future of our nation, and a sense of obligation to my family, my countrymen and to my ancestors. I dare say we all do.

So, I am writing to express my deep concern that this nation seems close to the brink of yet another civil war, another bloody revolution, if these evil men are allowed to continue their tyranny unchecked by democratic principles and law. Please rouse your colleagues in Congress to do whatever can and must be done to prevent these psychopaths from further imposing their will upon the nation and the world. Be vigilant. Protect yourselves. Protect Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards. Protect the delegates gathered at the upcoming Convention. And protect the Nation.

We're all depending on you and your colleagues to show the kind of political courage and resolve to, if necessary, fight to the death with those who have stolen and desecrated the American dream.
