We are tired of the for profit health insurance industry, Clinton has backed this industry for decades.
We are tired of elections being bought by corporations who profit off the common people, Clinton accepting millions of dollars for her campaign.
We are tired of the killing that regime change brings and the backlash that follows.
We are tired of watching children in other countries being killed by our bombs and those wonderful cluster bombs.

Revolutionary change does not happen overnight, as Pat said, one thing we do not need is to disillusion folks who have become engaged in the political process.

Our middle class is shrinking, we need a new direction and new leadership, the same old candidates do not offer the radical change we need to move forward.
