And there must be demands. Not only "break up the big banks " but shut them down and send the bankers to prison. Not only limit corporate bribes to campaigns, but remove ALL money from the electoral process and enact a law providing for publicly-funded elections. Not "reform" gerrymandering but eliminate it; Not add paper receipts to voting machines, but throw out ALL voting machines installed since Bush's hilariously-named "Help America Vote Act" corrupted the electoral system. Return to mail-in ballots or hand-written, hand-counted ballots, ballots that must be counted with representatives of all candidates present. Lastly we must dissolve the Federal Reserve and return to sound money printed by the US Treasury, not by a small group of private banks.
If we could accomplish those
goals, before the election, we would not
have to eliminate lobbyists because they would disappear. There would no longer
be a reason for them to exist. As it
currently stands, to call America a democracy is a joke and a lie. The people
have NO say whatsoever - about any decision made in government. The corruption
of all three branches of the US government is total and endemic. They are
rotten and drowning in maggots. We need
to get our say back. We need a real democracy.
Will that take a full-out revolution? I hope it does not come to that. As Occupy Wall Street's Jesse LaGreca said in my interview with him published here, click here; "Revolution is off the table". We will face what comes. Or we will leave.
But if we, the people, lose this battle and they,
the bankers, win, it will hardly be worth staying alive.
