What are we, the people doing about reclaiming our democracy from corporate fascism and corruption?

[bobthedrummer]

Right here at home.

I'd like to hear what you are doing about countering these characteristics of TPTB to prevent them from becoming totalitarian. Our political process of voting, volunteering and organizing hasn't prevented the influence of TPTB from expanding.

We, the people of The United States of America have been overruled by corporate fascism and corruption for long enough.

What are you doing to reclaim what has been taken from US?

1. Yawn and unrec.

That alone is a full time job.

4. umm, right...

I'm certainly not going to post that sort of thing here where the corporate fascists can read it.

Ground zero, of course, is...
Don't buy stuff from them, and
Don't work for them.
Don't help them be profitable.

And I'm talking about directions, not binary perfection (i.e. buying one thing that is made by a corporation you disapprove of doesn't make one an evil hypocrite)

But I'm constantly working to reduce the amount. At this point, utilities are my primary expense. Food is secondary, and has much room for improvement on my part.

5. Whining...nt

6. Questioning the fear factor...

10. I've progressed from having the laser sights aimed at me to educating ethical law enforcement,

attorneys and other activists as a citizen that was harmed by the blowback from politicized domestic black ops. In my experience this included stalking by an operative that had murdered a man (testified to by a surviving witness and others at a federal grand jury in Milwaukee in 1970) and bragged that he could do anything (including human trafficking) and not ever be charged with any crime.

I involved the offices of elected officials at both the State and Federal levels years ago and never gave up, today I speak the truth very boldly.

That's one of the ways I've neutralized the fear factor midnight.

7. Voting for Obama because he's "got this".

Unfortunately, the nature of this "this" is characteristically vague and formally looks a lot like helping bankers and hiring Blackwater/XE thugs.

8. The Progressive Left Strikes Back

I wrote a book about how we got into this mess and how we need to fight back.

9. watching american idol and the super bowl

[FiveGoodMen]

11. I used to talk to my friends and coworkers about what was going wrong

but they don't give a damn.

I also gave a lot of money to politicians that I thought would fight for decency and fairness if elected.

That didn't work out at all. They don't give a damn either.

I don't have the ability to launch a revolution.

What's left?

[bobthedrummer]

13. Grassroots, old school basic organizing from family to friends, neighbors-we are the people. I'm 61

FiveGoodMen, my response to midnight upthread is true-fear isn't like losing energy by attrition--still think about what happened to Senator Wellstone, his wife, daughter and others on that plane, think about Norm Coleman et al---get fired up each day and NGU.

12. Got to get rid of these first......

German High Court Outlaws Electronic Voting



(Oct 20--DailyCensored.Com) The justices above are clearly the most rational group of high level functionaries in the industrialized world. They did what no other court would do in Europe or the United States. They effectively outlawed electronic voting. On March 3, 2009, the German Federal Constitutional Court declared that the electronic voting machines used in the 2005 Bundestag elections for the German national parliament were outside of the bounds of the German Constitution.
