After years of active letter writing, small (but very dear to this retired citizen) donations, active campaigning, and loyalty to the Democratic Party, Progressive causes and candidates. I have today removed my name from all the lists and wrote one more letter to Harry Reid. Bottom line: I won't sign one more check that some poor kid will have to cash as they lie bleeding, mangled or dead in the midst of some forlorn hell caught up in the continuing 1400 year old fight between sectarian combatants. I do not wish to participate in the killing of one more innocent collateral victim. I do not want to be part of the continuing enrichment of some fat bastard and his corporation and his insane support of oil and the destruction of the environment. I grieve for my grand children, the struggling middle-class, the hopeful immigrant and the forgotten minority. I grieve for the death of the dream that used to be America. I've had it. I'm out of here.
