Democracy = People Power.

Maybe the slogan for our new movement should state this simple fact.

We need to get back to basics, I think.

I just spent the morning telling my kids how the 4th amendment has been dismantled.
Yesterday, it was a hard lesson on the SCOTUS ruling about corporate personhood.

A Democracy requires an educated populace. Maybe we should start with the meaning of Democracy.
