WE are NOT Torturers

Makes me very sad and also angry that this was OVER A YEAR AGO.


We Are Not Torturers

By Mark Ruffalo

The following is a talk by actor Mark Ruffalo given on October 2, 2006 at the Great Hall of Cooper Union, New York City. He spoke at an emergency meeting of World Can’t Wait—Drive Out the Bush Regime held in response to passage of the Torture Bill and in preparation for protests happening on Thursday, October 5 in over 180 cities nationwide. Others speaking that night included Olympia Dukakis, Bill Goodman (Guantanamo prisoner lawyer), Craig Murray (former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan who blew the whistle on US-sponsored torture), and Mark read a statement from Sean Penn. Dan Ellsberg, Alice Walker and Boots Riley spoke at a simultaneous meeting in Oakland, California that night.

I really don’t want to be up here today.

I want to believe that the people we chose to lead our country are doing it in a way that is responsible, fair, and in the interests of the people who put them in office.

I want to believe that the checks and balances that our fore fathers sacrificed their lives and well being for, that document that has held this country together for so long and has guarded us from tyranny, the Constitution, would be upheld by those leaders and they would treat it with the same devotion that those who wrote it did.

I want to live my life and spend my time with my children and family and friends and go to sleep at night sweetly knowing that I live in America and that this system with all its problems works.

I want to believe that our government cares for the whole, represents the whole and not just a few. I don’t want to be up here today, but I know that I have to be up here I am up here for my children and yours, I am here in service to my country, because this administration that has come into power by seemingly more and more questionable means does not represent the whole, is not devoted to the Constitution and ultimately does not represent the people.

I don’t want to be up here today but I feel I have exhausted the way we have been taught to affect change in the way our government conducts itself. I’m here because we, the people, are not being heard.

I have voted, I have called, I have written letters, I have given of myself with my time and my money and still we have a government that refuses to respect the Constitution, a government that engaged in a war with illegal justification, a government that abandoned it’s own during Hurricane Katrina, a government that now condones torture a government that favors big corporations before it favors my children or yours.
Step down, Mr. Bush, we are not Tortures.

Step down Mr. Bush, we are not war profiteers.

Step Down Mr. Bush, we care for our children and our poor.

Step Down Mr. Bush, we uphold our Constitution.

Step Down we are not Republicans or Democrats or Independents or Socialists or Communists we are not Black or White we are not Red or Blue.

We are Americans and we demand you step down.

I don't care what you talk about but keep sending letters until they publish one. They're very selective with WHOM they publish because I see the same names over and over. Don't let a few people speak for ALL of us.
