Essay #1 from Leader #3

Back to Speech Archives

Even though you're now sitting at a computer, take a moment right now to look out a window. What do you see? Do you see an endless grassland? A crowded metropolis? An old oak forest? Maybe. But what you are truly seeing is America, the greatest country on the face of this planet, the only nation that can say we were the first to declare freedom and liberty for all people. Unfortunately the land you saw as you glanced out your window has fallen under a cloud of evil, a veil of scandal and a haze of deceit, created by the the people who claimed to be your voice, your protectors, and your warriors. You know who I speak of. It's the government. The representatives sitting in the pretty white buildings of Washington daily create and add to this rolling cloud called corruption. They sell their votes---which are rightfully yours---for bribes. They make deals and cast lots to determine your future, and that of your children as well. They make and break promises and fulfill their own dreams of power and glory while you sit in tolerance. Well, no longer shall we tolerate these acts of disobedience---and I call it disobedience because they are not over us, we are over them! It is we, the people, who put them in power! It is we, the Americans that span a continent, who give these people the right to call themselves the government! IT IS DISOBEDIENCE!!!!! We run this nation, not the suits that sit behind desks and make dirty phone calls to their mistresses. It is our nation, and our's alone! And it's time we took it back! What do you want? Do you want to sit and listen to stories of endless scandal and corruption from the people who are supposed to protect your future? Is that what you want? Or do you want a government to work for you, to put themselves under you, to say, "Today, we will make you, the Americans, even more prosperous, and even more beutiful." As long as the government of today reigns, all we will get is empty promises and unheard protests, while they get money and dominance. Do you want a government of men or mice? A government of dogs or wolves? A government of progress or of oppression? Do you want a government to give you a slum...or a paradise. This could be a paradise, a place where there is nothing but happiness and joy, education not ignorance, freedom not persecution, life not death. If it's a government of that sort you want, you will get it, but it takes one thing. Revolution! We must stand up to the tyrannical politicians and say, "My rights, I want them back!" We must slap the greasy cowardly seantors and diplomats in the face and let them know that we've had enough of their sneaky oil-seeking plans. It's time for revolution. The Revolution should sweep the continent, over the lakes and rivers, atop the mountains and into the valleys. Everywhere where the land is called America, the must be revolution, a change. And it must start TODAY!
