It’s a clarion call to all of us to get involved, run for office,
and become the policy makers of our dreams.”

“WASHINGTON, YOU’RE FIRED!” was born out of sheer frustration with abuses in our current political system and it gives a voice to Americans across the country.
From the mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts and law enforcement abuses to the wrongful imprisonment and torturing of legal enemy combatants and misuse of the FBI and NSA — nothing is taboo in this disturbing look at the last seven years of fundamentally flawed terror-related spy bills, how they affect you, and what you can do about it.
Bills such as the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the John Warner Defense Act have crippled the U.S. Constitution and have weakened the liberties that Americans once thought they could never lose. The loss of Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus, coupled with a new definition of “torture” are just the tip of the Orwellian iceberg. If enacted, HR 1955 will for the first time put “thought crime” laws on the books, robbing citizens of their right to freedom of conscience thought.
The American people know in their hearts that a problem exists in our current political structure and their solutions are simple, direct, and honest. Washington, You’re Fired captures the spirit and zest of an old fashioned Boston tea party and captivatingly delivers the audience an education into legislation that will affect them and generations of Americans to come.
“Washington, You’re Fired” is a chance for every American to play a serious game of political “catch-up” minus the partisan punch lines. We’ll examine both sides of the political aisle exposing some of the most damning laws ever enacted in any country, while at the same time providing the audience with solutions and a game plan.

What if the President of the United States had ordered the NSA to data-mine the electronic communications of every single American… BEFORE the attacks of September 11 had even occurred? What if every email, every phone call; every time you surfed the Internet, your private communications were being siphoned into a gigantic dragnet funded by a forty-five billion dollar budget and carried out in cooperation with the FBI, AT&T, and Verizon? Compelling first-hand testimony and whistleblower accounts, punch holes in the official “war on terrorism” excuse that has been used to dismantle the U.S. Bill of Rights and tip the scales of executive checks and balance in this country.
The United States stands at a threshold where one man, the President of the United States, has been granted dictatorial ruling powers by the U.S. Congress. The President, any president, now holds solely in his or her hands the power to become judge, jury, and executioner. Is this the kind of government that our founding fathers enshrined forever in the U.S. Constitution? Will the American people recognize their loss of civil liberties and rise up to affect change in Washington or will they drift even further into a state of affairs that is quickly beginning to resemble that of a 1940’s police state; complete with a National ID, a Homeland security force, and enough “terrorist-related” spy laws to know what color underwear you have on at this very moment…
Do the American people even know the names of the Bills that were used to exterminate the U.S. Constitution? Chances are, the answer is no… “Washington, You’re Fired” is a chance for every American to play a serious game of political “catch-up” minus the partisan punch lines. We’ll examine both sides of the political aisle exposing some of the most damning laws ever enacted in any country.
Bills such as the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the John Warner Defense Act have crippled the U.S. Constitution and have weakened the liberties that Americans once thought they could never lose. The loss of Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitaus; coupled with a new definition of “torture” are just the tip of the Orwellian iceberg. If enacted, HR 1955 will for the first time put “thought crime” laws on the books, robbing Americans of their right to freedom of conscience thought.
We will examine constitutional issues as they relate to the Katrina disaster, the President’s illegal spy program, NSA data-mining, FISA’s secret court, the illegal wiretapping of millions of Americans, the re-defining of “privacy” rights, frightening Executive Orders and “terror-war” legislation.
We don’t just drop the bomb and run… In “Washington, You’re Fired” you’ll be shown what to look for in any candidate for political office, plus we provide the tools necessary to enable all of the people to make informed decisions about their political candidates. Problems and solutions are addressed by man on the street interviews with people who think just like you do… and a few who don’t, but that’s America… right?
“Washington, You’re Fired” is a powerhouse of information that every person in this country must fully comprehend before casting their vote in 2008 or in any election for that matter. Get a copy today and share it with someone you care about.
