You have to ask yourself, do you believe there is a powerful Communist movement afoot bent on making the United States over in the image of the USSR or do you think powerful corporations are invested in keeping you from impeding their continued and advanced exploitation of you, America and the World? Do you truly believe Corporations are People? Do you truly believe a Union should be considered a Person? Do you truly believe this ruling by the Supreme Court is protecting your freedom?

Do you truly believe the Democratic party, at its most powerful levels, is representing you or corporate influence?

The change has to come from OUT HERE because the political machine is hijacked!

1. Some things we need to do
Edited on Sat Feb-05-11 10:50 PM by Mosaic
Fight for a true democracy, less power for congress, much more for individual citizens. Phase out capitalism in 20 years, or less, creating a truly equal country. Move the Overton window for at least a century to make a centrist a liberal. Control the media, make conservative, gop, and republican dirty words. Oh wait, they already are.

6. I do not see how these changes
will occur without a Peaceful Revolution. We can build on the momentum of Egypt and other M.E. countries. If we do not do this, we will never get these vital citizen protections restored or enacted. We need to do this quickly, before the "people power" sweeping the world dissipates.....

3. The first thing we need to do is...
get President Obama re-elected. Without that our causes are lost, all of them.
