Americans will look back one bright blue day and say, "I can't believe we used to let money control our elections and politicians!" As is, the corruption continues because:

  1. the politicians in office won the money game and won't bite the hand that feeds them.

  2. mainstream media won't call it out. They sell ad airtime to big spenders--us, trying to compete with big biz money.

  3. too many of us accept the misconception that the interests of big biz and us are compatible. Because we have a shot to move from the have-not column to the have-more-than-I'd-ever-need column, it's all good.

Even those knowing, willing, and able to fight for what society really needs, too often take their eye off the prize -- to recognize, what in mathematical terms, is called -- THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS:

The horse that is needed to carry all the other needs in the cart is ELECTION REFORM -- public financing, increased voting opportunities, secure verifiable voting, etc..

It doesn't matter which candidates or what legislation the public piles into the cart because there is nothing to carry it over the money barriers.

Big Business money power fuels elections and re-elections. It buys the politicians and legislation they want. We're left holding the empty bag.

The result is the economy we have today. Big Biz profits and the deficit are at an all-time high, real wages are at an all-time low, and public services are being cut.

Not fixing the election system
and trying to get what you want out of government
is like PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE!

there used to be a site called buycott.com, but it does not exist anymore.
It had a phone app you could use to scan a product before buying it. It would check a database to determine the profiting corporation behind the product and let you know the companies political profile.

Consider the potential of educated consumers instantly pulling up that info. It makes the concept of "voting with your wallet" a practical reality. In today's world of ever increasing corporate power and decreasing democracy, consumer's purchasing power is our greatest strength and source of influence.

We can not give this regime any excuse to escalate gestapo tactics. Portland protestors showed us how. Sing, dance, and get froggy on the streets. Make it a love fest.

i suggest we wear light, fun costumes -- preferably with our face exposed to prove we're not trying to hide our identity and don't pose any danger (which should be obvious if you're in a full blown body suit preventing you from fighting, handling a weapon or running).

be froggy in regards to free speech on this site too. The goal is to amplify our voices. But search engines are penalizing sites with foul or risque language. This site has word-filters in place to help maintain meaning.

let's emphasize love over hate and peace over brute force. Yeah, i guess i'm suggesting we should get a little hippy, as well as froggy.
