In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
All the money we get from this site goes to support Democratic Candidates in 2004As you may have noticed this site features a link to Amazon, and also has a store. These features generated a little itty bit of money. We've just let the money sit there, until now.If you click on the Amazon link and then buy a book (or whatever), TCS generally gets 5% of the purchase. All monies that have been and will be collected from that link will be donated by us to the Kerry campaign. Believe it or not, TCS really isn't a widely visited site, so we've only generated a little over $25 from that link. Today that $25 will be donated to the Kerry campaign. If you want to donate directly, please do so by clicking here. When our Amazon monies reach $50, we'll donate another $25, and so on and so on.At this point a Kerry presidency won't be enough to clean out a government that has run wildly out of control, sacrificing our nation's reputation, our liberties, our security (both as a nation and as an economy), and thousands of lives. We need a congress that won't allow the executive office to act like our nation is a dictatorship. So all the funds TCS gets from the store will go in $25 increments to The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC.org) and The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC.org).The TCS Store sells some fun TCS related shirts, posters, cards, aprons, etc (you should visit the store even if you aren't going to buy anything, its fun). Each item generates between 75 cents to $1.25 for TCS (depending on how much I marked up the item). The store has existed for even longer than the site (barely), and has thus far generated (hold on to your hats) over $28. Today we'll donate $25 of that money to The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The next $25 the store generates (and as of now we are at a little over $3) will be donated to the DSCC. Why the DCCC first? Because they have a petition for Rumsfeld to resign and it is always nice to reward good behavior.So, if whether you need a "if Bush dies we get Dick" thong or a book from Amazon, please think of TCS. All of the money we get (which ain't much I admit) will go to saving this nation.

Having trouble with some of the poor English
on this site?
Imagine what it looks like when translated by a machine:
This is a "team" blog. We are a bunch of
Americans, whose rising distress
in our leader's decisions brought us together to make this site.
As Bush said, he's a "uniter." Many of us have never even met.
That's the internet for you.
Buy our cool stuff.
And tell everyone what you feel.
We have a little Store
you can visit.
Our store's selection of items is constantly growing. Come
see what we have.
We're also Amazon Associates, so if you want to buy something from Amazon, please search for it below, and we will get a few bucks from the sale.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
