(418 posts)Many of us talk about the corporate takeover of America since Reagan took office, the mega-mergers and control of our media, and the inability to get the candidates we want into office. With the country continuing to slide deeper into the pit of fascism and the majority of us seeming to not get it and trying to work within politics as usual to recover, when will we finally realize we can shift the power structure only with democracy!
The majority of Americans actually can understand specific problems when presented clearly. But media propaganda has us totally bewildered believing the Democrats and Republicans are incompatible, when we actually are all just people and not that different. For example, most of us would not have voted for war in 2001 or 2003. Millions of us marched for peace and were ignored while our TV media news announced TARGET IRAQ!
I have stated this many times over the past decades, we desperately need democracy! We should all be supporting enactment of the National Initiative by convincing everyone we know to do the same and spread the word.
My friends, time is running out.
