Reply #27: Can't blame you [View All]

I can't see a lot of difference between the parties when it comes to a lot of important issues, both get caught up in their own mostly middle or upper class interests and forget all about the rest of us, and both have caused a lot of damage over the years in their own ways.

I just sent the following letter to the democrats.org web page, I'll edit out the stats but include a link to the page since I posted them in this forum recently. How can we have created a nation like this without the dems, the press, without anyone at all screaming about it? It all happened in silence, we're the single most imprisoned nation in the world and have been for years (http://www.sentencingproject.org/pdfs/pub9036.pdf ) and most people don't have a clue about it.

I’ve heard and read a lot recently about how badly the Republicans have handled race, but I’m not sure that you realize why that hasn’t translated into more positive results for your party.

The following is listed from the web page http://www.prisonsucks.com/ and details in part the nation that your party and your policies helped to create. Your tough on crime votes, your mandatory minimums, your refusal to examine the results of your policies. What we’ve seen in recent weeks is nothing more than the inevitable result of creating a nation like this.

I’d be glad to talk to any of your staff to further explain how we got here, and to connect you with some people who may be able to help focus you on solutions.
