Since 9/11 and the passing of the Patriot Act, Americans have become prisoners in their own country. We are supposedly the land of the free; yet protesting government actions or criticizing the president can land you before a closed military tribunal without counsel. Our choices are dictated to us by the mass media and ensuing popular opinion and those who stray are dubbed unpatriotic if not outright terrorists. We are allowed to elect any man as president, so long as he happens to be a Democrat or Republican. Other parties exist, but cannot hope to compete with the financial juggernauts the two mainstream parties have become. In a catch 22, nationwide television commercials and advertising are simply beyond the reach of any party without an enormous financial support base, yet gaining that support base is nearly impossible without advertising. We must take a stand for what we know is right, regardless of hype and propaganda, before the shackles are tightened so far that there is no freedom left.
