NEW JERSEY STONEWALL DEMOCRATS RESPOND TO STATE OF UNION ADDRESS
Barbra "Babs" Casbar, President, NJ Stonewall Democrats responded Tuesday evening January 23, 2007 as posted on Blue Jersey. net :
"After six years in office George W. Bush has no veracity with the American public. His tax cuts for the rich, and his generous grants of corporate welfare have put the financial burden of his misguided and mismanaged war in Iraq on the backs of our working poor. By embracing the "big-brother" concept of government and funding of domestic theocratic organizations, his actions have run counter to our American principles of Democracy.
His new proposal to tax health benefits which may put the greatest burden on middle class singles and families, and especially those with children, appears to be downright diabolical.
Bush and the Republican administration continue to foster divisiveness and do nothing to foster civil rights for racial, religious, sexual, ethnic and gender minorities.
His war built on lies and convenient half truths has left over 3,000 of our sons and daughters dead, and many thousands more maimed mentally and physically."
