The citizens organizing the Participatory Democracy
web site and the "We The People" march on Washington D.C.
are ordinary working class citizens. We come from various regions of
the United States and are concerned about both public and media apathy
regarding the Bush Administration policies. We are a nonpartisan group
and share a common concern for human rights. We are not paid or elected
political figures, just ordinary, middle-class Americans.
We collectively, are concerned that the media
is not investigating what events led to the September attack on America.
We collectively, are concerned that the media
is not investigating Enron's role in shaping U.S. energy policy.
We collectively, are concerned that the media
is not investigating the Constitutional erosions to civil liberties
levied by the Justice Department.
We collectively, are concerned that the media
is not investigating Vice President Cheney's role in providing arms
to Iraq.
We collectively, are concerned that the public
isn't demanding Congress AND the media investigate these and other issues.
"We The People" demand that the Bush Administration and Congressional
representatives remember that 'our' government is supposed to be representative
of "The People".
The two principal organizers of this protest
march hail from the Boston, Massachusetts area. They are a private school
teacher and a local businessman who are passionate observers and patriotic
Americans. Their intent is to inform the elected leaders of this nation
that the citizens will not idly stand by and let this government erode
the Constitutional Rights of every American.
