One fantastic story out of last election.

Chevron tries to confuse voters of Richmond California...Spending 3 million plus to rid city of mayor and councilwomen and men... Didn’t work.. Of course Richmond was practically ruined by a Chevron fire a few years earlier, but nevertheless their bullshit lies did not work.. Thanks to some great reporting by local reporters..

I guess what we need is a devastating event which can be laid squarely on the shoulders of the Corporate Interests that are currently running every aspect of our country..This probably is not realistic.

But perhaps the change can happen one city at a time..

She showed a bunch of other things that showed that it wasn't all that bad on Tuesday.
