38. The (planetary) oligarchs are making their move.

We have sat on the side-lines for far too long. Wyoming has a population of 563,767, according to the last census, and gets 3 electoral votes. That translates to 187922 people per electoral vote cast. California's population in the last census was 39.54 million (I believe it is over 40 million now) with 55 electoral votes. That translates to over 720000 people per electoral vote cast. That is beyond messed up. We need to start boycotting and taking radical steps to cut their source of power off. We stop buying frivolous (most of what we buy) things, and take our money away from the banks and Wall Street so the companies that support these assholes feel our pain. They understand money and power. The power we have is to hit them in their pocketbooks and to get out and hold them accountable. We need to start getting involved in our local politics and holding those who claim to represent us accountable. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
