Remarks by Ronnie
Dugger of the Alliance for Democracy, Jan. 20th, 2001, at 11:00 am at Dupont Circle in
Wash. DC
"When Mr. Bush is
sworn in at noon today the United States Government
will be seized in a judicial
coup d'etat. Congress and the Presidency have already
been delegitimized across the past 20 years, among the
American people, by the triumph of uncontrolled campaign
finance corruption and bribery over the common good--the
seizure of deciding
power from the people by large corporations and the very
rich. And now,
in Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court has delegitimized
itself and the court
system by stopping the vote counting in Florida and
selecting the President.
The corporate media will not
record it, but let's say it together: When Mr.
Bush is sworn in an hour from now by the Chief Justice
who abused his power
to select him, the government itself is being seized.
The only basis for
democratic legitimacy is the consent of the governed.
That was the deal. The
Presidency has been seized. Today the government is
seized. The covenant is broken. Mr.
Bush is not the President--he is the Special Master
appointed by the Supreme Court. After
the secret four-month constitutional convention in
Philadelphia, a matron of the city asked Benjamin
Franklin what they had produced. "A Republic, if
you can keep it,"
Franklin said. Well, we have not
kept it--it has been seized from us--we have lost the
Republic into a corporate
oligarchy. And free Americans do not accept, and
we do resist, a court-appointed Master as our
President. This
is no longer a respectable system of
government.
We move on now, civilly,
nonviolently, and with determination, to replace the
American Republic, which is being taken from us at noon
today, with a new American Democracy. For
this nonideological, nonviolent rebellion to work,
nothing is more necessary than closure and alliance
between white Americans and the maximum victims of the
American Republic, the blacks we enslaved and still
cruelly oppress.
For our part, the
Alliance for Democracy affinity group will be pulling
away from this fine rally in about half an hour, getting
on the Metro, and going to Union Station and Stanton
Square, for the counter-inauguration being led by
persons of color, including Al Sharpton, Ron Daniels,
the National Action Network, and the Pro-Democracy
Campaign, in a National Day of Resistance and Shadow
Inauguration. In
this special announcement authorized by the leaders of
this Voter March, we
invite you to join us in this act of solidarity--and in
any case in your will
to be in
solidarity--with our black and brown brothers
and sisters in a new democracy. Although whites
and blacks and browns were not able to come together
enough to heal the American Republic, we will all come
together now in deepest equality to form the new
American Democracy."
