(10,539 posts)For this Fall during the midterms. I wanted to have signs showing what the candidates have raised and asking them what did they have to do in return for all of that money? Wanted to have them out side local TV stations to make it low hanging fruit for reporters.
Bernie Sanders said this is his #1 issue so we finally have a national candidate who could lead the movement. This is the issue of our time and will determine if we can address climate change any time soon. It would also solve most of our problems and reverse a lot of the partisanship that has been intentionally ramped up. They know that dividing the country and having us blame each other will keep us from recognizing who is really the problem.
I stupidly thought that I could get a lot of people here at DU to help organize, spread the word, and hit the streets. All I got was crickets! I posted like a fiend, but maybe it was my approach. For whatever reason people here ignored me for the most part. I usually got a couple of people to agree, that was it.
Let me know what you have, you have got my interests piqued!
