It is the mass media that is failing in its responsibility to inform and educate the public. But look who owns it! Most of the important news is missing, like about the TPP trade agreement.

We have had a silent coop and no one seems to see this. Wake up America and enact the National Initiative! Let's get our country back!

If members of a party don't want to support a true progressive in the primary so that candidate becomes the nominee, then the alternative is what is left in the general election.
