MISSING: ONE HONEST GOVERNMENT

Never before in American government (save Nixon), has our own government gone to great lengths to keep things a definitive secret from the American public.

This administration was never about what it pledged to bring back in the 2000 election: Honesty, integrity, and most of all, accountability.

At this point in time, the House has issued subpoenas for some of the White House's top aides--including Karl Rove.

Oddly enough, the White House is declaring the move unconstitutional.

The question is why?

There is nothing unconstitutional about it. The US Constitution grants Congress certain inherent powers. And Bush knows this.

Sadly--though--he is trying to hide behind the overly abused executive privilege excuse as to try and roadblock this matter. Only because he doesn't want the public to know the truth.

So where's the accountability in this administration? Has anyone seen it lately? Has everyone grown tired yet of the abuse of power through all levels of government yet?

Or are we just going to try and have these matters swept under the rug like they were when the Republicans had full and unadulterated control of everything?

It's time we start bringing back honest government. Bring back what it means to be proud of our country. Let's end all this political fear and terrorism wrought by this administration--by demanding that they stop foot-dragging our constitutional rights through the mud, and ante up!

It's the only way we can look at ourselves in the mirror without shame.
