Civil disobedience is patriotic !

“However, Iowa has become the first real test on the national stage of clout exerted by big political action committees sanctioned by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, which permits unlimited fundraising and spending by corporations, unions and others.”

Senator Bernie Sanders (I), Vermont has proposed a constitutional amendment to change this error via the SCOTUS.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming down the pike for Europe and the US this
coming year. I hope this wakes you asleep at the Wheel’s up to ACTION before
you end up being victims of the coming deluge!
One can only hope that James Petras is wrong on this one, but knowing his
track record on accuracy I feel this may be one of the last Warning shots across
the bow that you’re going to get…
Reset the debt now!!! If you stop buying everything except essentials, Stop
paying your Credit card Bills, Mortgage’s, Taxes, and any other debts that are
tied to the Financial Industry, and our “Dear Leaders Governments” who profit
handsomely from their GREED and Control and lack of any effective Consumer
protections, you can break this nightmare before it totally breaks you, the 99%! 
If your conscience won’t let you take this absolutely evasive action - set up an
Escrow account and make your payments into it, instead of paying for your
upcoming painful demise at the hands of Greed & Power that only have one
interest - profits, and they don’t give a flaming f—k about you or your well
being! But a complete Reset of your debt will force this to a head within 60 days
and it will bring the entire Financial system to a grinding halt!
Get yourselves prepared to survive a crash first - Water-check, Food-Check,
Alternative power sources ie.. Batteries, Candles, Plenty of Charcoal for cooking
on the Barbecue, Arm’s and Ammunition to ward off intruders, - check,  gather
your families around you and build what you need for surviving. Form
neighborhood groups and community militias. Be Safe, live long and one day
when the dust settles and a reformation has begun that returns the reins of
governance to that of the Governed “The people” it’s rightful place - we can
once again prosper in a much cleaner world then we’re punching out from!

One of the greatest challenges of American Democracy (what we have left of it) is money in politics. The manipulation of voters by a barrage of slick, false and otherwise misleading advertising has taken its toll on American life and free speech.  We need to exert pressure on corporations by electing representatives responding to thinking people. That the critical thinking and actions of people can be so dominated by corporate finacial influence is the most evil phenonemnon of our time. We need a new skepticism along with positive actions e.g. boycotts, protests, education etc. to build a new civic and economic system.

I urge all independent progressive candidates to
contact me ASAP.  A coalition of independent and 3rd
Party candidates is growing quickly to take on the
Washington’s 2-Party duopoly. Thanks to the
incumbents, our economy has been trashed by foreign
trade agreements we never had a chance to vote on,
our manufacturing base has been disseminated and our
hopes and aspirations have been dashed.

Independent Senator, Bernie Sanders of Vermont is
working to add an amendment that would effectively
repeal the results of the Citizens United verdict. 
This amendment is vital in helping to restore our
democracy.

I side with Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio,
regarding his desire to repeal NAFTA, GATT and CAFTA
and terminate our membership in the WTO.  These
actions are vital to restoring good jobs in America.

With very few exceptions, it’s time to give Congress
a high colonic and flush them all out.  November 6,
2012 will mark the day when we take back OUR COUNTRY!
The year 2012 will not be ‘the end of days’, but
rather the end of us being in a ‘daze’!
If you love this country, as I do, and are inspired
to make a difference, then run for office as an
independent.  ANY OFFICE! Your actions really do
matter.  Together we can and must change how business
gets done in our nation’s Capitol.

Once again, please contact me and remember…United
we stand - divided we fall.

Got to the following statement by Mr. BB…“it will be difficult to make
sense of the caucus results. The candidates echo one another on the
issues, except for WILD libertarian Rep. Ron Paul.”

This basically reads like “A BILL BOYARSKY ATTACK”. If Ron Paul is
WILD what does stating ...God will curse the USA if it mistreats Israel
[Michelle B]...or Social Security is a Ponzi scheme [Rick P]...or abortion is
ruining social security [Rick S]...or we need to put kids to work in
schools [Newt G]...or “I will hire homosexuals rather than Muslims in
my administration” [Herman C]....or Mitt promising to travel to Israel as
his first trip to a foreign country.

“Tired of hearing money corrupting politics!”

Me to.  My reason is because it is the truth.  Yours?

You think maybe it continues because not enough people know or because not enough people care?

http://alecexposed.org/wiki/ALEC_Exposed

that link will take you to the truth about how corrupt use of money is affecting you and me.

If you already know all this and don’t care , you are one of the 1%, or a “My Party Right or Wrong Republican”.

Since everyone now agrees that both the Reps and Dems are equally evil (took you long enough - no more lesser of two evils arguments please) why didn’t you vote for Ralph Nader when you had the chance - it was the first real stab at a third party from a person who has only been honest and achieved great services for the average American in car safety, environment, civil rights etc. - hardly anybody showed any interest - America could have been much more of a social democracy - like Canada, Australia, the Scandinavian countries etc. whose people are doing much better (and they’re still capitalist!)than Americans.

I sincerely believe that all voters should vote out every incumbent.  But they won’t.  There is always a certain percentage who will vote for their party.

That is why I for a long time now have advocated choosing a Party and swearing off voting for any of their Candidates ever again.  I have always suggested the Republican Party to shun simply because they advocate making the Rich richer.  Their claim is that if we make the rich richer, the rich will be able to create more jobs for Americans.  That promise is fools gold. And it will ever be.  They take that money and build new factories in low wage countries then ship those jobs overseas.

The Democrats are in on this too, but to a lesser degree.  If we get rid of the Republican Party we will only have the Democrats to worry about while we build a viable Third Party System.

Shunning the Republicans will require only that those who want real change should vote for the Democrat Party.  The party loyalists will still vote for their Party, but those who vote for change will be in the majority.  The Democrats will only have one 4 year term.  And they will know what happens if they renege on positive change.  We will have our Third Party positioned to muscle them out also.

I get a lot of nasty remarks every time I suggest this, but it is the one thing that will work if enough people want it to.

Voters need to learn not to vote for candidates
backed by big money.  If you see lots of tv ads
backing a candidate, DO NOT VOTE FOR THAT CANDIDATE. 
That candidate is bought and will only serve the
people who supplied the money that paid for the TV
ads.

More than anything, we need elected officials who
will serve the country instead of their contributors. 
Thus ... do not vote for any candidate backed by lots
of money.  The broker the candidate, the better the
chance they are honest.  And if the people with money
appear to hate the broke candidate, that’s an even
better sign that you should be supporting the broke
candidate

“There is in fact a mental disorder called a Folie a deux. Our political partis are suffering
from it.”

Yes there is only one sure outcome in all our corrupt elections:  Either the Democrats or the Republicans will win, and the other will finish second, and the non-elite, those not of the 1%, will certainly come in last

The Folie a deux instead of being limited, is shared by nearly all the voters.  The rank and file never learn.  They vote their Party First and thus find and exercise the only way to throw their vote away.

The “American Spring” is coming and it surely won’t be due to anything that happens in November of 2012! FREE BRADLEY MANNING!!!!!

At this point, why even report about corruption? We all
know how prevalent it is. I guess it’s all about the
money, huh.
Human nature compels us to fight against it almost as
hard as we seek its reward.

Once more direct evidence that this country is ruined, maybe beyond repair, and that
our political parties function as a kind of shared mental disorder.

There is in fact a mental disorder called a Folie a deux. Our political partis are suffering
from it.  In this case the Republican party is the primary, while the Democratic party is
the secondary.

The Republican party transmits delusions to the Democratic party, who reacts as if those
delusions are real. But it could be just as easily the other way around.

They are the same. And they have turned this country into a bankrupt, criminal
enterprise, where the rule of law no longer applies to them.

Where destructive economic delusions still hold sway despite the wrecking of the
financial system.

It doesn’t matter at this point who wins, because there won’t be an America to govern,
unless the American people throw all of them out.

Rarely if any criticism of Obama and Dems et al in this article - I guess he’s gearing up for the Obama re-election. Truthdig needs some new blood - put this writer out to pasture!

This loose money needs the dogshit taxed out of it.
