That is what my family is going to do if we get Hillary or a republican.(same thing) We are going to sell everything we own and move to another country that respects its people more. There is no shame in seeing the US for what it has become, a haven for rich scumbags who wish all of us little people would just die.

If you can't get a job because rich corporates sent all the factories away and Hillary decided to hand every last job that was left to someone from India: then its time to realize people like you and me are being left to die and we need to leave.

If you can't pay the rent, are struggling between paying for food or energy, and have no health care: then its time to realize people like you and me are being left to die and we need to leave.

If the govt spying on its own people, making 90 yr old ladies get strip-searched at the airport, and directing you and your protest sign to a "free speech" zone 4 miles from major political events bothers you: then its time to realize people like you and me are being left to die and we need to leave.

If the endless wars and torture foisted on us by the US military industrial complex have you realizing the only chances for employment you and your kids will ever have is Burger King or toting a rifle for Uncle Sam/Mobil/GE/KBR/Boeing: then its time to realize people like you and me are being left to die and we need to leave.

My grandparents never felt any shame for leaving their shithole country and coming here to make a better life, in fact they were always proud of themselves for having the guts to get out. They got their dream and had a good life but everything good must end eventually and the dream is dead in America. Now its up to my generation to decide whether the shithole we live in now is even worth fighting for or if we should just leave.

I should have moved my family after the stolen election of 2000. I knew it would lead to wars and the working class getting alot poorer, but I was stubborn and wanted to stay and fight. Now its 2008 and since 2006, the Dems who control of both houses of congress are no better than the sold out corporates on the other side. 2008 is my last hope. If we get Edwards or Obama I'll stay a little longer and keep on hoping someone in power will finally give a shit about us. If its anyone else then I'm leaving and so should you because people like us are only beginning to drink the cup of woe given us by our corporate masters.

Things can and will get even worse as these ass-clowns loot our treasury and destroy the last pitiful remnants of our manufacturing base. They should be lined up against a wall and shot for treason, but you and I both know they will get more medals of freedom.

If there is anything I can do to help you get info on how to get out, let me know. There are alot of better countries to live in that actually want you to go there.
