Our struggle is not with some monarch named George who inherited the crown. Although it often seems that way.
In appointing the next nominee, (Bush) must listen to all Americans, not just the far right.
The administration's policies are dividing us on race and dividing us on riches and that is basic, fundamentally wrong.
The administration has to abolish its 'my-way-or-the-highway' attitude,
They have undermined America's prestige and credibility in the world, and undermined the trust that Americans should and must have in what their nation tells them. How many will doubt a future claim of danger even if it is real?
They won't tell American people what they want to know: when the Iraqi security forces will be fully capable of fighting on their own. That's the key to achieving victory.

supported a cramped and narrow view that would exempt many formally covered institutions from following civil rights laws that protect women, minorities, and the disabled.
