Here's the thing - don't expect me to be enthused about someone who cozys up to a mass murderer.

454. No, we don't. That is WHY there are now so many organizations working to try to retrieve that power

the people are supposed to have.

Before fixing something, you have to know it needs to be fixed. OWS was the first salvo from the people to let them know WE now KNOW that, as Elizabeth Warren has said, 'the game is rigged'.

I have two Senators. If I call their office I get the same response every time 'yes, I will pass your message along to Mr. Schumer'. If I email him, I do not even get a computer generated response.

I know from my job that if I were to call him and say I was calling for the people I work for, which I have with other politicians as part of my job, HE would pick up the phone right away. Why? Because that is how he stays in office, they help him raise the funds he needs and if he doesn't jump when they call, there would be consequences. Iow, his constituents are not important to him, no need to talk to them, they will vote for him IF those with the money want them to.

I was pretty surprised to learn that people we put in powerful positions are more afraid of one wealthy person than they are of the people who elected them.

I read an article in a NY Magazine about these powerful fundraisers, one of them I knew as I said. They called them the King Makers. Having caught a glimpse of that world, I have to agree. We have King Makers and it isn't the people.

So now that many people have accepted this, they are organizing and having success and building on those successes to try to end the influence of money in our system and to give power to the people.

Grass roots is the ONLY way to do it. And it started already.
