YIKES - new promise
Did you know:
"George Herbert Walker Bush was once a member of Lilly's board of directors. Our current President Bush appointed Lilly's chief executive officer, Sidney Taurel, as a member of the Homeland Security Council. Eighty-two percent of Lilly's $1.6 million in political contributions in 2000 went to Bush and the Republican Party."

Also from that article:
"In the 2005-2006 school year, all parents will receive written notice of new policies from your children's schools. Many schools will ask you to sign permission slips, allowing school counselors or advocates to have conversations with your children. You will be told how your local schools are now involved in vision and dental screenings, learning disabilities and speech impediment screenings, and other acts of kindness, but watch for the small print or the extra little blurb, which states that your children will also be evaluated for emotional wellness. Watch for wording like happiness indicators or family participation.
The fact is that our president has mandated that every American child, age 3 through 18, is federally ordered to be evaluated for mental health issues and to receive enforced treatment. Welcome to President Bush's New Freedom Initiative and New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. Welcome to life-long profiling and drug addictions, New Freedom-style."
That doesn't exactly sound like the "Land of the Free" to me. I now have a new campaign Slogan:
"Just say NO to drugs" that are designed to drive up profits for drug companies and destroy children's natural creativity.
I promise that if I were President I would not make up silly laws like this one. Instead I would force all politicians that have voted in favor of laws like this to be evaluated for:
"Political Filthyrichitis" - a disease that causes many (not all) politicians to sacrifice the health and well being of future generations (including their own children) in order to become as filthy rich as possible.
If it was found that they suffered from this ailment they would be required to give all their money to charity.
That seems like a good campaign promise, but I think a lot of republicans and democrats might think that I am out to get their favorite leaders. So, I am not sure how well this promise will go over. I might have to nix this promise and stick with my original platform...
