George Washington's South
Senator Byrd of W. Virginia realized that after 9/11 our country was enduring an unraveling of the people's liberties. The way down this path violates historic American principles. He documents how the Bush administration has operated under a cloak of secrecy with little regard for the balance of powers or the role of Congress. He shows how this makes no attempt to educate the public or build consensus; it invades our privacy, shows little regard for our environment, does not deal with the realities of people who have to work for a living. He informs us how we have entered a war without proper consideration under a new and dangerous doctrine - how we have a White House that favors the rich, lavishes tax cuts on big businesses, and pushes through unfair tax legislation. Losing America is a call to action by one of our country's most respected legislators and warns us of the sinister agenda of this power seeking administration. Senator Byrd embodies what our Founding Fathers expounded when this country was started - we'd do well to have more government leaders like him.
