See Newsweek Story
Tom Ridge is setting us up to try to allow a movement of the Presidential Election based on a terrorist threat for that day.
THIS IS NONSENSE!
The Bush Administration will stop at nothing to secure a victory in the fall, including making it look unsafe for people to go to the polls. Now, they are going to push congress to grant emergency powers to allow the election to be delayed at the discretion of the President. This is dangerous ground we are walking on. Hitler took power in 1933 by being granted emergency powers. This is a roadmap toward dictatorship.
GW Bush is the unelected President of the United States who is largely unpopular and now is facing certain defeat. When the time comes he would be granted the power to delay the election until he deems it safe to occur, even when he is behind in the polls. He could undermine the constitution of the United States, as he has already shown he is so willing to do.
As for me, if we have terrorist attack on that day... The elections should continue. They can't possibly attack all the polls. Allow people to vote at any polling place in their state as an emergency measure, but elections should NOT be delayed by ANYTHING!
Their is NO event which should impune our democratic process or GRANT POWERS OF ULTIMATE AUTHORITY TO ONE PERSON! EVER!
The resulting tyranny will be one which our country cannot and should not endure.
The simple fact that anyone in this administration would consider such a thing or propose it and not be laughed out of the room shows me that it is time for a real change. GW Bush and his entire unelected Administration must go. They are not for government of the people, only for government which keeps them in power.
Freedom must endure, the United States of America must remain a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC!

Y here,
For even dreaming this up, a Bill of Impeachment should be brought for attempted treason.
