BETRAYAL OF UNITED STATES CITIZENS: 1999 to PRESENT

This makes no attempt to be comprehensive.

1999: The US Senate fails to uphold a single motion to challenge voting irregularities and widespread voter disenfranchisement in Florida.

Congress and Senate allow the Supreme Court to appoint a president, rather than counting the votes or holding a new election.

2001: The Bush admin cuts anti-terror funding.

Bush remains on vacation in Crawford, TX despite warning of impending bin Laden attack from CIA, and fails to raise alert levels for the FAA, Ports, major cities - anywhere. Claims the threat was "too vague" to be actionable.

The entire bin Laden family is escorted and flown out of the US without thorough questioning despite a no-fly condition.

Anthrax attacks on Democrats in the Congress and Senate and news media outlets while the US Patriot Act is hastily considered and passed - the first steps in gutting the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.

2002: The Bush admin diverts the US towards attacking Iraq, and away from bin Laden.

2005: Despite warnings caught on AP video, Bush denies hearing warnings about potential Katrina aftermath, and remains on vacation even as New Orleans was drowning.

2006-2007: Newly elected Democratic Congress fails to show any more backbone than the previous, Republican-led Congress, and continues to enable the most corrupt administration in American
