Words to remember from Ma Joad - Grapes of Wrath

[TAPat]

"Rich fellas come up an' they die, an' their kids ain't no good an' they die out. But we keep a'comin'. We're the people that live. They can't wipe us out; they can't lick us. We'll go on forever, Pa, 'cause we're the people."

Sometimes we need to be reminded of who we are. :)

GOTV!

3. We are the fourth branch of government

The one that matters the most, but. the one that is overlooked more these days. I'm waiting for the day that the fourth branch reclaims it's voice with a roar.

4. The ghost of Tom Joad rises again

..."I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where--wherever you look.
Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there.
Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.
I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad--an'
I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready.
An' when our people eat the stuff they raise, an' live in the houses they build,
why, I'll be there too."
