We are in serious, serious trouble in this country, and we damn well had better wake up and face reality.

This is not a simple red versus blue game anymore.

Corporations have no conscience, no empathy, and no loyalties except to the bottom line. We need to realize how dangerous it truly is to cede our government to the one percent, because that is what is happening, in both parties. We had better wake the hell up and get the corporate money out of our political system before it is too late for us.
