It's basically against the current corruption and tyranny of the wedding of government and big business. It says: hold them accountable! Stop the heartless and cruel and mindless-pursuit-of-dominance-of international corporations - as they trample human rights, human dignity, and the health of the planet.

On January 21, 2009, the day after Inauguration Day, the next president of the United States will confront a host of critical issues created by our leaders under the guise of protecting America from terrorists: Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, citizen wiretapping, and U.S. torture policy -- to name only a few.

The Bush Administration has seized, consolidated and wielded executive power in ways unparalleled in modern American history. And the Congress has stood by, allowing these abuses to go on unchallenged.

The abuses of power include disregard for fundamental principles of American democracy -- separation of powers and our system of checks-and-balances; politicization of the justice system; grotesque acts of torture; disregard for international laws and institutions; and violations of fundamental civil rights and liberties at home and abroad.

President Bush will leave the White House in a few months, but these problems will remain. Now, and for the foreseeable future, we as a nation must fight to reclaim and preserve our fundamental values of liberty and justice, and ensure that the unprecedented power grabs of recent years don't set a dangerous precedent for the future. We must stop the erosion of our Constitution. We must recapture the flag.

It's been a tough few years for "we the people."

We've endured repeated abuses of power by the Executive Branch of our government. Time after time, we've watched Congress fail to stand up for what's right. We've seen the very symbols of our democracy tarnished, as our nation's reputation suffers at home and abroad because of these abuses.

It's time to demand better. Join with us by signing the Recapture the Flag Petition below:

We The People believe in the Constitution, the rule of law and justice for all. We pledge to Recapture the Flag by demanding a President and Congress that:

*Ends torture, respects human rights and restores America’s reputation in the world.

*Respects the rule of law and fiercely challenges anyone who seeks to undermine the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

*Roots out corruption, special interest abuses and partisan prejudice in the administration of justice.

*Holds to account – without exception – anyone who breaks the law or violates the public trust.

*Protects personal freedom by rejecting warrantless spying and other affronts to individual liberty.
