Bushwhacking the Presidency 

All of you who have called for Gore to concede, suggests to me that you are too willing to lay down your most basic right under our constitution and embrace Federalism. Gore won the Presidency, Gore knows it, Bush knows it and so does the rest of the world. 

Instead of being allowed to elect our President, the Republican appointed Federalist judges in the United States Supreme Court interfered with our states' rights and our constitutional rights. They cannot change the rules to an election after the election has already taken place. Not even the state can do that. 

Insisting on one uniform standard for the entire state that has never had a standard other than discerning voters intent is trying to change state election laws after the election has already taken place. Why should these partisan judges be the final deciding factor, it was a 5-4 ruling. 

Is it ok for them to use this democratic principle of the majority rule when the people are being denied this same Rule of Law. The USSC is violating the constitution by blocking votes from being counted and disenfranchising the majority of the American peoples right to vote and have our vote counted. This is not Democracy, this is dictatorship. 

Bush was not elected by the people, he was chosen by partisan judges who participated from the very beginning, in a scheme to run out the clock so that the votes could not be counted in time for them to be certified.. The USSC has blatantly abused it's power and disgraced it's office and the integrity of the justice system. These judges should be removed from office for conspiring to usurp the presidential election the will of the majority. 

Their ruling has violated the most basic fundamental rights of the people and placed it in the hands of a few partisan politicians. With our nation already divided the only sound reason Gore would have for conceding was because his own base was divided over conceding. or fighting to the finish. Gore has no desire to win if it means putting our nation into a crisis that could hurl us into a civil war. Bush only cared about winning at all cost. Gore cares about this country and hates to see it divided but what can one man do without the unification of his party strongly behind him. 

Gore cares about the people, the environment and the economy. We may have to retreat from this battle but the war between Federalism and Democracy is a long way from being over. All you third party members, if you believe in democracy then get behind the Democratic Party. We must first establish a democracy before we can reform it. 

We need your strength and willingness to fight for democracy. Work to bring about change from within the Democratic party rather than dividing into splinter groups that only weaken each other. United we stand, divided we fall. Let's all stand together, united in our goal to bring about democracy and we will prevail. 

Bush can forget about giving his rich friends a tax break, the first thing on the table will be election reform, more accurate voting machines and standardized ballots . The states' rights to rig elections will soon be a thing of the past. Hopefully then, there will be no more candidates bushwhacking their way into the White House.
