Here I'll be posting little articles about what I think the world needs to know about.
Anyone who reads this profile...please show this to your parents to convince
them that no matter what, to not vote
for George W. Bush.
He cut a half a BILLION dollars from the Environmental Protection Agency'
s budget. Who needs to look after the environment when there's all that oil
drilling going on?
He approved
a bill that denies financial aid to students convicted of
misdemeanor drug charges (though convicted murderers are still
eligible for
financial aid).
He recently sent a delegation to the UN children' s summit to declare that the
use
of condoms is not a valid way to fight AIDS and that abstinence is the only
solution. This is the view shared by some
other countries such as Iran, Iraq,
Sudan, Libya, Syria, and the Vatican. It seems that his policy of, "No child
shall
be left behind" has a whole new meaning.
He wouldn't sign the Kyoto Protocol agreement on global warming, which was
ultimately signed by 178 other countries. He also told the entire European
community that he would listen to their
arguments, but he would not change his
mind, effectively treating Europe like an 8 year old child. This may have
something
to do with why most of the world hates the US.
He rejected an international accord to enforce the 1972 treaty banning
germ
warfare. Of course that would mean that the US would have to stop producing
biological agents too.
And
talk about the fox watching over the hen house, he nominated former mining
company executive Dan Lauriski as Assistant
Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety
and Health.
He allocated only 3% of the amount requested by Justice Department
lawyers in
the governments continued litigation against tobacco companies.
He prohibited any financial aid from
going to international family planning
organizations that provide abortion counseling, referrals, or services with
their
own funds.
He provided every member of the Bin Laden family living in the U.S. a chartered
plane shortly after
9/11 to fly back home to Saudi Arabia without questioning
them. One of GW' s first petroleum venture was partnered with
the Bin Laden
family and George Sr. has been getting filthy rich selling defense contracts to
the Bin Ladens. These
are just some examples of the many ties the Bush family
has with the Bin Ladens.
He officially withdrew from the
1972 Antiballistic Missile Treaty, gutting the
landmark agreement-the first time in the nuclear era that the US renounced
a
major arms control accord.
Refused to join 123 nations pledged to ban the use and production of anti-
personnel
bombs and mines, February 2001
September 2001: withdrew from International Conference on Racism, bringing
together
163 countries in Durban, South Africa
Over the past 10 years, the US prison population has more than doubled. This
is
mainly due to unfair three strikes laws, and harsher drug penalties. OK so
maybe W. wasn' t behind this one, but
the Republicans are.
International Plan for Cleaner Energy: G-8 group of industrial nations (US,
Canada, Japan,
Russia, Germany, France, Italy, UK), July 2001: the US was the
only one to oppose it.
George replied, "Ken who?"
when asked about his relationship with Kenneth Lay,
the CEO of Enron, during the federal bankruptcy hearings. This was
after Enron
gave him their company jet to use for his presidential campaign. George and
Kenny were such good friends
that Ken was actually seen giving wedgies to the
president in the oval office. Yet he still replied, "Ken who?"
Also
if you haven't noticed this man is not the brightest crayon in the box.
Here are some quotes from the president himself
showing how much knowledge he
really has....

it's an
