Seriously, have the .001% never cracked a history book? There's a point in which critical mass is reached and this country is at it. How do I know? Look at the response to Bernie Sanders, the ONLY candidate who can honestly talk to real people. Voters are sick of the canned candidates and, thanks to Barack Obama whom many people put their trust in to do the right and progressive thing turned into a Republican right there in front of our eyes. The candidate that will win the hearts and minds of people is Bernie Sanders. He doesn't need focus groups, he doesn't need polls, he doesn't have to remember what position he's taking on what this particular week, he just goes out there and does what he's been doing for the last 50 years -- fighting the Good Fight.

There is a REAL opportunity here. Maybe the last one this country will have and that's to bring our government back to working for the people, not the other way around. I think the Founding Fathers would EXPECT us to fight the oligarchy and as descendants and as Americans, that is our obligation.
