"The Wind in Our Sails" that dumped us in 2010 and not done much else to help us in Red states since.

The people will have to do it themselves. I have hope for the "Moral Monday's" movements springing up in the Southeast. And...btw..Democracy now showed a group protesting Cuomo in New York about "income disparity" and they mentioned..."It's a question of Morality" ...so the "Morality" question might be gaining traction. Giving credit back to Occupy Movement which put the 1% vs 99% meme out there.

Maybe some good things will be coming as pushback, MF.... We have to hope.
