When we have all three branches
We must undo almost everything this mafia has done to cleanse our soiled country.

- A constitutional amendment that the definition of marriage can never be a constitutional amendment.

- Reinstate the fairness doctrine. Force Faux/CNN from lying 100% of the time, down to 50%.

- Somehow limit industry from wining, feeding, whoring, our elected officials.

- Tax any church involved in politics.

- Revive pollution standards based on science, not economy.

- Apologize to the world for the last 4 years.

7. And so much more...but it is all dependent on trustworthy voting systems
And I am not convinced we have anything remotely approaching that.

8. Sorry.
The feds should never have any control of paid for cable TV. If you don't like it quit watching. If you don't want others to watch,you are not a Democrat.

10. Bullshit. Now that the Busheviks have exposed the weaknesses in the
System, and actively worked to increase those weaknesses, such as the FCC rules the men of the 40s drew up to prevent a Hitler/Stalin-type Sub-Media from gaining a foothold (which it now has in Faux ReichsPropaganda and many others) and many others

it is incumbant upon Free Americans to shore up the weaknesses if we are ever to be truly free again.

And yes, that means returning to a mandate that says BOTH SIDES of the story MUST be allowed to be told.

The Fairness Doctrine, which coincidentally stood all during the years of the American Republic's Greatest Power and Moral Strength (we were never perfect, but we were never better than after WWII, even with our faults and flaws and lynchings and Chile and such).

It is no coincidence that, a mer decade and a half after Fat Tony Scalia earned his appointment to the Imperial Court by killing the Fairness Doctrien, that Nazi/Soviet style Lie Laundries rule the Empire with a Televised Iron Curtain.

11. I have to say it again,
dummy. Cable TV is paid for and if you don't like it turn it off. The last thing we need is the government dictating what is on cable{paid for}TV.

12. Boo!
Not when corporate interest dictates programming to the publically owned airwaves. Anyway, all I was asking was for 50% lies instead of 100%. You can turn down the volume now.
