2. So, what do we do now?
I mean instead of just having a big screaming match with each other. :P


Most of us feel very strongly that these issues are critical to the future, even the survival of our country. It is also clear that the Dem establishment is just as beholden to corporate interests and the Washington power structure as the Reps. So, how do we get our representatives to actually represent us, within our corrupt system? We are already being dismissed as the loony left, just like we were when we criticized the invasion of Iraq, bank deregulation, regressive tax policy, NAFTA-style trade policies, the bankruptcy bill, and so on. I am tired of having to say "I told you so" after being proven painfully correct again and again. How do we make our voices heard over the ringing of cash registers on K Street?
