nonfixed elections and healthcare. Have we forgotten so much of the price that is paid for freedom?
If we want these things we must take them or be feed the table scraps they wish to give us.

4. Well if it is gonna happen here it will have to be grass roots.
Because I don't think most of our leadership in liberal organizations really want things to change all that much.
I mean it is kind of like job protection you want there to be a lot of work to be done and no resolution that would put you out of a job.
Besides they are probably well paid and have health care.
