A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE
After being barraged for weeks with
negative campaign ads, the American
People have spoken on 11/07/2006.
And the People have given themselves
the victory. Sure, winning politicians
are rejoicing too, and the losers and

numbers and thinking of the next

The People have also spoken on the underlying values which dominated their minds as they cast their votes – discomfort over a war which no longer makes sense and uncompromising opposition to corruption in government. The politicians are now expected to honor the will of the People by working together to ensure that the American People regain our position as the brilliant beacon of democracy for the world to see and follow.
