"Congress is controlled by oil and coal industry" Al Gore/Rolling Stone-June

Do we somehow think that for 40 years our liberal organizations have been

talking about corporations BUYING government and our candidates --

and that we WATCHED that buying and selling of our party and candidates

but that somehow it really didn't happen -- ???

It happened --

THAT'S WHY OWS IS IN THE STREETS --

How can there be any point in going back to the same corporate parties and corporate

candidates and and begging them to help you?

This nonsense has to stop at some point -- !!
