Toward A More Perfect Union
Written Sept. 2001

The past six weeks the weather in New Jersey is picture perfect. The vivid bright
orange, yellow and red leaves are prominent. This autumn Americans lives are persecuted
by sudden terror and fear. Our lives and our families are threatened. First, the World
Trade Center Attack, and now Anthrax What is next?

The United States General Accounting Office has for the past fifty years reported to
Congress and the President failures of our aviation security and the potentiality of
terrorists attacks. The General Accounting office informed Congress that the
Department of Justice, the FBI and the CIA were accepting bribes, using government
funds for personal use and all government agencies were negligent in protecting the
security of America.
June 16, 2001, Florida/New Jersey
Four are arrested on Arms Smuggling Charges According to CNN report on Friday U. S.
Stinger missiles and other high-tech weapons to private buyers in Pakistan. Sources close to terrorists groups. There is a probable cause that show the men attempted to transport
explosives with the knowledge they would be used to kill, injure, or destroy property in
violation of U. S. law.
Press Releases 2000 An Immigration and Naturalization Service official in Boston,
was indicted and charged with two counts of soliciting and accepting bribes. The
inducement charges that from May 1999 until June 2000, Theodore Filandrianos solicited
and accepted bribes from naturalization candidates in return for assisting them with the
naturalization process.

Why doesn't Congress listen to these reports? Are we to blame because we are not
involved in our government activites?
I do not want myself, my husband, children, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, or friends and family to become a victim of disaster to aid the greed
of power and might. Congress has not been governing for the people by the people.
