Reply #60: I don't think African-Americans would see it that way . . . nor abolitionists . . . [View All]

However . . .

Did you call your Senators/Rep on the legislation?

FAIR ELECTIONS NOW ACT -- HR 1826???

Public financing of campaigns --

After than we need IRV voting for more options --


Hey, if worse comes to worse, we can always uninvent the dollar bill!

That would probably be the best bet -- :evilgrin:

I believe WE outspent the corporations -- Obama raised $800 Billion from individuals --!

Unfortunately, unlike the corporations and their lobbyists WE have no leverage over

Obama nor Dem Party.

May be we should hire our own lobbyists --

How about Erin Brockovich's firm -- ??

We can also begin putting corporations back in the box . . .

rightfully, they exist to serve the public -- not the other way around.

We need to get the anti-trust laws out of moth balls. Break up these monopolies.

Then, individuals can also begin to show their strength with corporations by acting

in unison. How about turning out lights off for an hour every Wednesday night at 8?

How about refusing to "talk" with corporate robots on telephones . . . when it

absolutely doesn't work to your benefit. Keep repeating, "I want to speak with a

representative." Many other ways, I'm sure. Think of some of your own.

Meanwhile, corporations aren't "people" . . . they don't breathe --

they don't require food, shelter, clothing, medical care.
