IF/WHEN we take the WH/Congress back...... |
|
.....if/when we get some control back...what should happen to all these MONOPOLIES and REPUKE CORPORATE MACHINES that've disrutped and corrupted our DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES...shouldn't they be investigated and HELD ACCOUNTABLE for their CRIMES...or will we continue to allow them to continue to manipulate the entire process into oblivion?
THE MEDIA WILL STILL BE OWNED BY *THEM*...and the MONOPOLIES will STILL have control over every aspect of our lives with our CONSUMPTION ADDICTIONS....so what should be done.....if/when we're in control again...to put to an END...ONCE AND FOR ALL...to these criminals and their influence over ours and the worlds very LIVES and FUTURE?

2. Your thoughts are in the right place. |
|
But, I'm doubtful that there will be enough honest and courageous Dems to do what should be done.

5. The hope is that enough people have realized how close |
|
America has come to being taken over by illegal means. Having witnessed that, maybe even some of our cowardly Dems in Congress will step up to the plate.

7. Be fun to slap huge fines and shut down |
|
the companies who decided to "give up their patriotism and incorporate in the Bahamas post office box".
Maybe even revoke the US end of some of these "dual citizenship" people. Like, say, Ahnold?
Ah, but then you'd have all kinds of people screaming that it's hurting the jobs of the people who still actually work for the companies.

10. Hopefully We Can Use the Energy Left Over |

from the outrage over Bush and his ousting and use that momentum to keep activists active.
When Kerry's in the WH we can then turn up the heat on him AND congress to start making real changes...Including stuff like re-instating the fairness doctrine or something similar...
Once Kerry's in, our job is only just beginning!
:hug:

Go into action holding the criminals of this admin. accountable for their crimes. It would go a long way in getting the US back some of it's lost standing and prestige in the eyes of the rest of the world...
Remember, he was one of the driving forces behind investigating the BCCI scandal back in the day...These are the same thugs from back then.

....indeed it's PARAMOUNT that if they do win in Nov. that these actions take place...or else the right will continue to scheme their agendas into reality!

11. There's a powerful grass roots movement that has started... |
|
With removing BushCo in the likes of MoveOn.org, MediaMatters, etc. Hopefully, that will keep on moving, pushing the dems at the local level FIRST to be more to the left and bleed it upward to the party. Edwards may also make a mark given his background and Kerry has character and stands on his principles. He just needs too be shown.
Too many have tasted and seen what could be. It will take at least four generations of hell to breed this knowledge out. So, this is the chance to create a more just system for all. Otherwise, the country will be lost and civil war or collapse is inevitable.

14. TIME....is o'the essence...... |

....they've *the right* have been on a mission since FDR's NEW DEAL...to systematically dessimate education and control information....all the while we've played right into their hands and helped 'em along by playin' *bipartisan* politics...which has caused us to lose even when we win....the GAMES have to cease once and for all....or you're correct....the end is quite f'n nigh!

16. Yes in theory. In practice to even try would incitge Civil War |
|
These Bushevik will mobilize their Sturmtruppen in ways we can;t even yet imgaine.
In theoiry, yes. Hell, I want to see the Democrats give it a try because it is our only hope.
But that will take more balls than they have shown to date. Several would sacrifice their careers, a few would sacrifice their lives, IMHO, before the Imperial Family even got close to being in jail or pushed out of power.
Sorry. Don't kill the messenger...

18. Maybe so. But let's have NO illusion that it will be BAD for all of US |
|
as individuals.
I would much rather this was resolved in the Old Ways, thrugh the System.
Unfortunately, I have my doubts as to whether the Old System has much more force nowadays as a wet noodle.

19. Indeed....yet WE have power over THEM with our MONEY..... |
|
....it may make us uncomfortable in many ways to quit giving it to them but it's our ONLY weapon left in reality....I've floated the idea of a non-bloody revolt by NOT funding their businesses...like say...the MEDIA by not payin' monthly extortion payments to cable and satellite corporations....yet we're JUNKIES when it comes to our idiot boxes..gasoline etc...and continue to fund our demise buyin' into their lies...to be lazy and comfortable and ignoring our logic and conscience!!! :crazy:
