Do Not Divide Us.org is just getting started. We are now in the organizational phase and are actively seeking patriotic Americans to form local chapters. Our ideals are honesty in government and preserving our way of life.

The only requirements we have is that you believe in the values that made our country the greatest in history and that you conduct yourselves with honor and dignity.

We thought we had some good news with President Obama's first few appointments, when we saw several people he appointed to be in his cabinet. There seemed to be an attempt to provide balance within his close circle of advisors. He kept Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense and chose Senator Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, even though they had some serious disagreements on foreign policy during the campaign. 

Unfortunately, several appointments later we are not so sure.

The new Secretary of the Interior, Kenneth Salazar, went out of his way in one of his first speeches to the press, to bash the Bush administration and paint the last eight years as the worst years in the history of his department. Is this what we need to unite the country?

Did not Mr. Salazar know that President Bush established several National marine preserves that protect more area in square miles than all previous administrations? We ask the Secretary to stop being a political hatchet man and start doing his job.
