America For Sale

I just came across this site, America For Sale created by Sean Bonner and Brent Wilson.

The following is from the about page:

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." Theodore Roosevelt

In the past few years, we have spent a lot of time reviewing national and international news sources and books on foreign/domestic relations and history in an attempt to understand the issues that are causing our current global turmoil. What we have learned is that there is an incredible amount of both misinformation and misunderstanding out there. For example, a CNN poll recently indicated 70% of Americans believe Iraqis attacked the U.S. on September 11th. This is not true.

Our goal here is to share the information we’ve compiled in an attempt to bring these issues to light – in the hopes we can make small changes in our own lives to prevent irreversible harm. We are not political activists, lobbyists or pundits and we do not pretend to be experts on politics, economics or global affairs. We do this because we love the virtues this nation was founded upon…the virtues contained in The United States Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

Please forward this to anyone and everyone you know who gives a damn about America.

about this site

This site is a collaborative effort by Brent Wilson and Sean Bonner. We are not politicians, pundits, hippies or liberals. We are a couple of friends who got pissed off and decided we couldn't just sit idle watching anymore. There's no hidden agenda and we're not endorsing a candidate. As much as we aren't Republicans we aren't Democrats either, and it would take a million websites to point out the misdeeds of everyone who has ever held office. That's not our goal. Our goal is to point out something wrong that is happening right now by people currently in office that the american public has the opportunity to do something about.

Americaforsale.org is not a news site, we provide links to archived stories on news sites, which provide current up to the minute news. This site is only an archive of recent history. There's no opinion on this site. What you will find is real events, with real sources with the links to back them up. The sources we've cited include the FBI, the CIA, CNN, CBS News, ABC News, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Newsweek and the BBC. There is an incredible amount of both misinformation and misunderstanding out there, with this site we're trying to correct that. This is not conspiracy theory, this is the news and it’s history in the making.
