(10,539 posts)that controls our politicians, Judges, and the media! The Republicans as well as Democrats need to understand that our politicians are not "ours!" They belong to the corporations and the 1%! The clowns in Washington distract us with hyper-partisanship while somehow managing to work together to pass what their corporate masters want.
We need a Jimmy Carter or another prominent person to get started. I thought Bill Clinton in his speech yesterday, hinted of the need to march again, this time for all of our freedom! Freedom from the control of the Shadow Government! While he would never do anything to mess up Hilary's chance to become POTUS, he may be hinting of our need to break the cycle.
We need PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS to break the cycle of control over what used to be "our" Representatives! Lets not be distracted by issues that are the symptoms of this hijacking of our Representatives and focus on getting candidates to support Complete Campaign Finance Reform! It is the solution to what we so desperately need!
We are running out of time with our environment which the corporations and the 1% don't care about at all. We are going bankrupt supporting a military grossly outsized for our protection. To keep control of us they now have resorted to spying on us. I don't believe for a minute that they are not using the information fully and completely. The whistleblowers have said that they have targeted some politicians, SCOTUS, and many others. The information is just too tempting to ever give up and works too well at identifying future OWS type protests. They are preparing for us to fight back and the longer we wait, the harder it will be!
